Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride Soğanlı or Ihlara Valley
Description
What makes this tour unique is the opportunity to fly over the Ihlara Valley, unlike traditional Cappadocia balloon routes. The lush vegetation, deep canyons, and historic caves of the Ihlara Valley distinguish this flight from other balloon experiences in the region. In a spacious basket with a capacity of approximately 20 people, accompanied by our professional pilots, you can admire unique sights such as the Selime Monastery, the Melendiz River, and historic rock-carved settlements in a friendly atmosphere. This flight is the perfect option for travelers who want to explore the Ihlara Valley from a bird's eye view, where nature meets history.

Despite my fears, I wanted to have this experience, and it was more enjoyable and reliable than I expected. The staff there were also very hospitable and friendly; I thank them very much. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to go.
The experience is amazing!!! They passed the hotel at the agreed time and give us instructions before starting the tour. We passed a lot of security! I recommend!!! I was very happy to realize this dream!!!
Beautiful Balloon ride with my partner Jade. Will never forget this date ever.
Amazing experience with Duru Balloons. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The team was professional, friendly, and very well organized. Definitely one of the best moments of our trip to Turkey. Highly recommended.
It was all wonderful! All done within the planned, safety and responsibility! The tour is amazing and the view is spectacular! I recommend!
Great experience We started low and from the valley up for a beautiful view 😍
The early morning wake-up was well worth the effort once you are up for your flight, the take off was so smooth you are just floating up into the sky. We went from ground level to 1000 ft above sea level but were to busy taking it all in to notice, we would recommend this company as they arrange everything was well worth the cost.
Great experience, the crew was really nice and professional!
