The town of Ortahisar in Cappadocia, Turkey. Cappadocia has the coolest looking towns!
This is one of the most popular spots in the world to go up in a hot air balloon. Best flight ever with Butterfly Balloons, Goreme. Soaring over love valley by the crack of dawn during Dec 2015 was an experience by itself. Our pilot Iftal was naturally talented and within minutes our balloon was floating above fairy chimneys. We were hypnotized by spectacular & surreal landscape below us. We gently drifted over scattered valleys, pigeon houses, orchards & and vineyards. The flight duration was little over an hour. Upon touchdown, the staff served us champagne, hot chocolate & hors d'oeuvres. An activity not to be missed when in Cappadocia. 🎈
