Discover Cappadocia's Hidden Canyon on an Ihlara Valley Balloon Tour
Activity provider: Ask In Cappadocia
The triangular arch framed the horizon so perfectly that our photographer barely needed to direct us. When I said "yes," tiny fountain sparklers lit up along the kilim aisle—like fireflies erupting in celebration. We wrapped up sipping rose-infused tea while hot-air balloons drifted overhead. Zero stress, pure romance.
Highlights
Full Description
The Ihlara Valley Balloon Tour lets you drift above a dramatic 14-km canyon cut by the Melendiz River, dotted with rock-hewn churches and the impressive Selime Monastery. Flights last 45–60 minutes, climbing up to 3,000 ft when conditions permit. You'll watch the sun spill golden light onto lush riverbanks while only a handful of balloons share the sky — a far less crowded scene than Göreme.
