How to go Hotair ballooning in Turkey?
Head to Goreme and avoid booking online as it seems to be a bit more expensive. They were charging 150 Euro for 60 -80 minutes flight time when I was there. They pick you up, and drop you back at your hotel. It included a certificate to say you did it. The whole time frame is about 3 hours plus including transport to/from the hotel. Some other flights go up to 250 euro. And then the private flights are sky high! Things to look out for. The balloons go out either very early in the morning, about 5am, or in the afternoon. They have medium and large baskets. Meaning 10 -20 people will be going along with you depending on what the owners decide. If you do go on a ride, make sure to take another day to get up early and take photo’s of what you did the day before from a hill nearby. There’s one such hill right beside the town center. Just walk into the numerous balloon offices in the town to get a good deal, and bargin. Though set prices are common amoung all the companies.
