BALLOON TURCA |
Flying in a hot-air-balloon is an exquisite feeling anywhere in the world. But flying in Cappadocia is actually a privilege. At Balloon Turca we offer balloon flights over valleys, canyons and fairy chimneys of Cappadocia. Being Cappadocia’s most professional ballooning company Balloon Turca provides passengers with a sustainable adventure experience. All our passengers are VIP and our focus is on our passengers’ comfort, safety and enjoyment. We all do our best to provide the most memorable flight.
The flights are so perfect that one could think the balloons actually have steering facilities. But the explanation is rather simple, Cappadocia being in the middle of what is called a continental climate, there is a great temperature difference between nights and days. At night, a mass of cold air accumulates within the valleys. This mass begins to flow just like a river at dawn.
By inflating hot air, we drive the balloon upwards. By slightly opening the balloon to the early morning cold air, we drive it downwards. Then we are able to make it rotating. Therefore, the balloon is totally dependent on the prevailing wind and goes where the wind takes it. Our pilots are like balloon surfers.
With our pilots’ huge knowledge of the region and their flying experience added to the reliable morning air flow, we are able to perform the astonishing flights every morning of the year.
We're waiting for you to share this incredible experience with us! |
