- Camera & Power Bank: Bring an external charger, as you will take plenty of photos at the fairy chimneys, one of the most photogenic regions in the world, and on the morning balloon flights.

How many hours does the journey from Antalya to Cappadocia take?
The distance between Antalya and Cappadocia is approximately 500 km. With our breakfast and rest stops on the way, travel in our luxury coaches takes on average 7.5 - 8 hours. Thanks to our wide-seat vehicles, the journey passes restfully.

Can those who don't want to ride the balloon watch the balloons?
Absolutely! Guests who do not wish to ride the balloon are taken by our guide to the "Balloon Viewing Terrace" (Panorama) in the early morning. There you can watch hundreds of balloons rise into the sky and take wonderful photos.
