22.03.2017

NEVSEHIR, TURKEY - MARCH 22: A hot air balloon is being prepared for a trip over historical Cappadocia region, in Nevsehir, Turkey on March 22, 2017. Since 1988, hot air balloons in Cappadocia have been contributing positive benefits to the tourism capacity of the region and Turkey. Cappadocia, where above 250 thousands tourists able to watch the natural beauties of the region from the sky with hot air balloons in 2016, continues to be one of Turkey's major tourism centers. The trips are being done in the morning because hot air balloons can not fly over 28 degrees and on extreme windy conditions. GPS-Tracked hot air balloons that glide in the direction of the wind during an average 1 hour flight sometimes raise the altitude of 1000 feet, allowing to observe the sun rise, fairy chimneys and valley scenes to the passengers. The hot air balloon is being prepared for flight by the ground crew before it begins to rise. Fireproof fabric, produced with special techniques, is filled with hot air to start the rising of the balloon. Cappadocia is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is famous for its chimney rocks, hot air balloon trips, underground cities and boutique hotels carved into rocks.

Cappadocia, where above 250 thousands tourists able to watch the natural beauties of the region from the sky with hot air balloons in 2016, continues to be one of Turkey's major tourism centers. The trips are being done in the morning because hot air balloons can not fly over 28 degrees and on extreme windy conditions. GPS-Tracked hot air balloons that glide in the direction of the wind during an average 1 hour flight sometimes raise the altitude of 1000 feet, allowing to observe the sun rise, fairy chimneys and valley scenes to the passengers. The hot air balloon is being prepared for flight by the ground crew before it begins to rise. Fireproof fabric, produced with special techniques, is filled with hot air to start the rising of the balloon. Cappadocia is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is famous for its chimney rocks, hot air balloon trips, underground cities and boutique hotels carved into rocks.
