Drifting through the sky in a hot air balloon
Today was definitely the highlight of the trip.
This refers to the experience of hot air ballooning. The cost of hot air ballooning varies depending on the company and the number of passengers. We chose to use the services of Butterfly Balloon, a highly reputable company in the area. While their prices may be slightly higher than other companies, they limit the number of passengers to a maximum of 16, or 4 people per basket.
The Balloon Company will pick you up at your hotel around 5:00 AM. They will take you to their office to pay for your flight and provide a light breakfast. Make sure to remember the name of your balloon pilot. When they call your group, follow your pilot to the balloon.
The location where we boarded the hot air balloon offered breathtaking views and fresh air. The process of inflating the balloon and its subsequent ascent were captivating experiences. The excitement was palpable.
Climbing into the balloon now... So excited!
After a brief preparation, we were soon soaring through the sky. Our captain then proceeded to explain the safety procedures.
Our captain.
The first view that greets you at the summit is truly breathtaking.

The balloon ride lasted about an hour, and it was an unforgettable experience. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, and the views were amazing. The weather was perfect, and everything was just right. It was an absolute blast.
Upon landing, the captain celebrated with everyone by distributing champagne and awarding certificates for successfully completing the hot air balloon ride. There was a small celebration afterwards.
After finishing, we were taken back to the hotel. We had breakfast at the hotel while waiting for our tour. The tour we purchased was the Green Tour.
The tour bus will pick us up around 9:30 AM, and the tour will take the entire day.
The Green Tour's first stop was the Panorama View.

The tour's highlight is a visit to the ancient Derinkuyu Underground City, a multi-level subterranean city carved out by people in the distant past. It served as a refuge from attackers and had the following characteristics:

The upper floor serves as a breeding ground for animals, followed by a kitchen, a wine cellar, and various living rooms. In fact, visitors are allowed to descend to the fifth floor, but our guide only took us to the third floor (which was enough for us, as we were secretly afraid of the low, narrow ceilings and the fact that we had to bend down in some places all the way, which made us gasp. The people of the past were truly amazing).
After a 3-kilometer hike, we took a break at a local restaurant and cafe. The scenery reminded me of Kanchanaburi in Thailand.
According to the itinerary, we were supposed to hike up the Ihlara Valley, but the guide did not take us there. I don't understand why, and she just put us back on the bus!
The guide was asked why they didn't take them to certain places, so the guide took them to the Pigeon Village viewpoint for photos.

The tour was just okay, not very exciting. Maybe it was because our guide wasn't very good, but I'm not sure. However, when we got back to the hotel, the staff recommended the Red Tour, which is apparently better. Oh well!
The next day, we woke up early to take photos at the hotel's terrace, the most famous spot in the hotel. It truly lived up to its reputation, offering breathtaking views.

The grand finale of Cappadocia was truly magnificent, living up to its legendary reputation.
