Cappadocia at Sunrise:
Colorful hot air balloons rising into the sky, gliding over the valleys filled with fairy chimneys. Welcome to Cappadocia—one of Turkey’s most magical regions, famous for its surreal rock formations, underground cities, and iconic balloon tours. In 2025, Cappadocia continues to enhance its tourism infrastructure, offering even richer experiences to its visitors.
So what can you expect when joining a Cappadocia tour? Here’s a detailed look at the experiences you’ll enjoy on an exclusive TÜRSAB Rota-integrated tour with
Urban Comfort Travel Agency
Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Excitement
Perhaps the most thrilling part of your Cappadocia journey is the sunrise hot air balloon ride. Before dawn, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and brought to the launch site. As the giant balloons inflate and rise into the sky, you’ll float hundreds of meters high, watching the sun’s first rays light up the valleys of Göreme and Uçhisar.
The view? Beyond words. Imagine a sky painted in pink and orange, and beneath you, a magical land of fairy chimneys.
The flight lasts about an hour. Your pilot ensures both safety and narration, explaining the stories of the valleys like Love Valley, Pigeon Valley, and Zelve. After a soft landing, a traditional celebration follows—sparkling juice or champagne and flight certificates. Your photos will be taken by our team to capture the memory.
Pro tip: Dress warmly and comfortably. Mornings are chilly! All reservations and transfers are arranged by our team, so you only need to enjoy the moment.
Alternative: If you fear heights or weather cancels the flight, don’t worry. Watching the sunrise from Uçhisar Castle is equally unforgettable. Our guides will accompany you to the best viewpoints.
Exploring the Fairy Chimneys and Valleys
After breakfast back at your hotel, it’s time to explore the heart of Cappadocia. Our tours cover the region’s iconic valleys. In
Devrent (Imagination) Valley, rock formations resemble animals and objects—like camels and dresses. Your guide’s stories will make this walk delightful.
Next, Paşabağ (Monks) Valley is where you’ll get close to Cappadocia’s famous fairy chimneys with “hats.” Walking among three-headed chimneys, you’ll learn how volcanic eruptions and erosion shaped this land over thousands of years.
Lunch Break For lunch, we stop in Avanos, a town famous for pottery. Try the region’s signature dish, “testi kebabı” (meat cooked in sealed clay pots). Afterward, visit a pottery workshop and even try making your own. It’s a hands-on memory to take home!
Cultural Landmarks The Göreme Open Air Museum is a highlight of the afternoon. Explore ancient churches carved into rock and decorated with centuries-old frescoes. Chapels like St. Basil’s Church and Snake Church offer a spiritual glimpse into early Christian life in the region.
Underground Cities and Local Life Cappadocia’s magic extends underground. In Derinkuyu or Kaymaklı , descend deep into the earth to see multi-level underground cities. Walk through narrow tunnels to discover old storage rooms, chapels, and even living quarters.
These cities reveal how ancient communities survived invasions for months beneath the surface. The damp, cool air and tight passages make this one of the tour’s most unforgettable moments.
Afterward, taste local wines near Ürgüp at family-run vineyards, where volcanic soil gives the wines a unique aroma. Don’t forget to visit Onyx stone workshops to admire or shop for handcrafted jewelry and ornaments made from this regional gem.
