Magical Carpet Ride through Cappadocia
In this romantic date, you'll be gliding over the surreal Cappadocia landscape in a hot air balloon, enjoying a bird's eye view of the beautiful fairy chimneys. To make the experience even more intimate, we'll arrange for a private basket. After the ride, we'll head to one of the finest local resta…
- The day starts early with a warm cup of Turkish tea and some traditional goodies at your hotel. A shuttle will pick you from your hotel and take you to the take-off zone of the hot air balloon.
- Once you reach the breathtaking location, you will watch as the team inflates the giant balloons. After a brief safety demonstration, you hop into the private basket for an unforgettable hot air balloon ride. Floating above strange rock formations, ancient valleys with cave dwellings and beautiful fairy chimneys, the balloon ride offers absolutely magical views.
- After about an hour in the air, the balloon lands and you are shuttled back to Kayseri city. You freshen up and then head to a cozy local restaurant, enjoying a scrumptious Turkish dinner and recollecting the beautiful day spent together.
Preparation steps:
- Though we handle most of the arrangements, it's always best to be prepared for your adventure. Start by choosing comfortable clothes suitable for the weather. Dependable walking shoes, sunglasses, a hat and a camera are must-haves for the balloon ride.
- Do a bit of research about Cappadocian culture to make your date even more exciting. Watch videos of hot air balloon rides and familiarize yourself with 'do’s and don’ts'. Always follow the instructions of your balloon pilot.
- As for the dinner, it's advised to dress smart-casual. Review the restaurant’s menu online before your visit. Though our chosen venues serve a wide range of delicious dishes, if you have special dietary needs, inform the restaurant management in advance.

Some tips:
- Booking your balloon ride in advance is highly recommended as they can be sold out quickly. If you have any health issues or fears that might restrict you from riding the balloon, inform your booking agent or the balloon company in advance. Always follow the pilot’s instructions during the ride.
- In case the weather conditions are not suitable for the balloon ride or if it’s too windy or rainy, the balloon company might cancel and schedule the ride on another day. So, keep a flexible itinerary.
- After your balloon ride, take some time to relax before you head to the dinner. Research Turkish cuisine in advance so you know what dishes to try. Don’t forget to try the famous Turkish tea or coffee after your meal.
