February 21, 2024 Very cool experience, the flight is quiet; when we arrived, after the balloons were inflated, they offered such a tasty buffet breakfast while waiting and at the end, a toast was made with champagne,

There's so much to do in Cappadocia we did a lot of activities while visiting, but it was the balloon ride that was the best experience, great and wonderful views that we saw. The staff really looked after us.
