PICTURED: WORLD’S BEST FOR BALLOONING
Hot Air Balloon tour across Cappadocia, Turkey – With the sun rising in the distance and the spectacular landscapes below, these are the breathtaking views afforded from a hot air balloon flight in Turkey. The stunning photographs capture the amazing hot air balloon tour that takes place in Cappadocia at every sun rise across the year. The region is famed for being one of the best places in the world for ballooning, with its carved cave villages and distinctive rock formations. The surreal views combined with perfect flying conditions allow the balloons to gently drift over and between fairy chimneys and pigeon houses hewn into the unique rock formations.
