Description
During the Pamukkale balloon tour, not only the natural wonder Pamukkale but also the ancient city of Hierapolis can be seen. The region has been visited since the 6th century BC, and its foundation dates back to the 3rd century BC. With the Byzantine rule in 395 AD, Hierapolis became a bishopric center. This ancient city is rich in hot springs, and balloon tours give you the chance to see both at the same time. The incredible beauty of cotton-white and colorful travertines from the air is a sight you will never encounter anywhere else.
The Flight
Balloon tours usually start early in the morning around 06:30. Flight duration is between 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on wind conditions. You can reach up to 1000 meters altitude. After landing, a traditional champagne celebration is held and you receive a symbolic flight certificate.
