For anyone who has ever wished to fly in the style of Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, here is your chance to take the flight of a lifetime. Not so much around the world though, as over the amazing white terraces of Pamukkale and its sentinel city of Hierapolis. This flight taken at first light is an unforgettable adventure of sunrise and magical scenery that can only be found in the Pamukkale area. Pamukkale, transferred into English, means Cotton Castle and this aptly named hillside will be yours for the viewing, when you step aboard the hot air balloon.
It would be impossible to fully describe the elation of the balloon ascent, as you flow where the thermals ask you to go; no two balloon flights are the same. Your qualified pilot will guide you through the air and over the amazing landscape below. Each flight lasts around one hour then you slowly begin to descend, seeing at closer contact the white terraces with their sky blue watered pools. Here is your invitation to land and you will surely want to see this amazing area close up, when your balloon lands and your feet touch terra firma once again.
