The Cappadocia region has been shaped for thousands of years by nature and history. Successive deposits of volcanic sediments of different densities exposed to erosion have created one of the most unusual landscapes on the planet. For hundreds of years in these Turkish valleys, traders, farmers, and horse breeders built their rock-embedded houses, cultivated the fertile soil, witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms, and linked East and West.
As full of magic as Cappadocia itself is the dream of flying, and the balloon is the most poetic materialization of this fantasy. The balloon wanders through the sky wherever the wind takes it, a mix of adventure and surrender. Aboard a small basket, suspended hundreds of meters by a hot air balloon, it is difficult not to feel like a hostage to freedom.
