Romantic Hot Air Balloon Ride and Picnic Date
Take to the skies in a hot air balloon ride over the beautiful city of Ankara and then unwind with a quiet picnic in the peaceful ambiance of Göksu Park.
- The day begins with an early morning meet up at your designated hot air balloon company where you are welcomed with a cup of traditional Turkish tea. After a safety briefing, you'll climb aboard your hot air balloon and ascend into the crisp November morning sky. This is an opportunity to see the sunrise over the city together, an awe-inspiring experience that gives a calming and relaxed start to your date.
- After the balloon ride, which lasts approximately one hour, you will head towards Göksu Park. Göksu Park, with its serene atmosphere, is a great spot for a relaxing outdoor picnic. Here, you can lay out a blanket and enjoy a leisurely meal while discussing your exhilarating ride and sharing quality time.
- As the sun begins to set, take a leisurely stroll around the park, soak in the beautiful nature surroundings, and enjoy the ambient lighting. This is the perfect ending to your tranquil, yet adventurous date experience in Ankara.
