🎈 A Sky Filled with Hot Air Balloons

Mornings in Cappadocia are truly special. Just as the sun begins to rise, hundreds of hot air balloons ascend into the sky, gently floating over the rocky valleys. The breathtaking view of the sky painted in hues of red is often described as one of the "must-see moments in life." From the hot air balloon, the sight of Göreme village and the Fairy Chimneys below is an unforgettable experience.
