🌸 About hot air balloon rides
The price for the first flight in the low season is EUR 60–100, and EUR 200–300 in the peak season.
I was very lucky to catch the low season and the lowest price of EUR 60 for the first flight on the day. I didn't plan to take a hot air balloon ride, but I was destined to take one.
At 6 am, a minibus picked me up at the hotel and took me to the hot air balloon launch site. There were simple cookies and soda for breakfast. Then, I took a hot air balloon ride for 60–70 minutes to watch the sunrise. It was super beautiful. After the ride, there was champagne and a certificate, and then the minibus took me back to the hotel.
PS: The locals told me that the price of hot air balloon rides is different in the morning and afternoon, and the price fluctuates every day. If you visit during the low season, it is more cost-effective to book after you arrive.

It is best to arrive before the hot air balloons take off. Set off from the hotel at around 5 am and walk for about 45–60 minutes to get there.
You can see hot air balloons along the way. You may encounter wild dogs 🐶 on the road, so be careful.
