03 Cappadocia | On the Compatibility of Vintage Cars and Hot Air Balloons

Personally, I feel that chasing hot air balloons by car is a more photogenic and visually appealing experience than riding in the hot air balloon itself.

💰Vintage cars are fully booked during holidays, so be sure to book in advance. The red and pink ones are both very beautiful, with prices ranging from 70 to over 100 euros.

🚗 Itinerary: On October 4th, pick-up around 5:50 AM, drive a few minutes to the hot air balloon ignition site to watch the balloons being lit and taking off (around 6:05 to 6:10 AM). After the balloons ascend one by one, drive along the route to Love Valley and the popular large viewing platform (you can also drive there yourself). Return to the hotel by 8 AM.

📷 The driver can help take photos. The best time for photos is during the blue hour before full daylight.
