Photographer’s Note

Cappadocia is one of the most picturesque places in the world where one can avail of commercial hot air balloon flights.
Balloons take off early in the morning (in summer around 6 am),
when the flight conditions are at their best.
Most balloons carry 10 to 20 passengers. The most popular tours
are so called “short flights” (about an hour in the air) and “long flights”
(at least 1.5 hour in the air). The pilot has little influence
on the direction of the flight, he can either ascend or descend,
making the most of the slight differences in the direction of the wind. In the meantime he can also turn the gondola around to ensure that every passenger gets an equal share in enjoying the views.
