Description
The most boutique way to fly over Göreme: a 16-passenger basket divided into compartments of four, on the first ascent of the day, so you lift off into the sunrise rather than towards it. Your pilot flies low through Love Valley and Pigeon Valley where the fairy chimneys are closest, then climbs to around 800 metres for the full panorama of the national park. Breakfast is served in our lounge beforehand, and the flight ends with a champagne toast, a medal ceremony and a printed certificate at the landing site.

Flawless from the hotel pick-up to the champagne. Our pilot made the whole hour feel calm.

Booked the Deluxe flight for our anniversary and it was worth every euro. We were picked up at 4:40, had breakfast in the lounge, and were in the air by sunrise. The basket had four compartments so nobody was crowding the rail, and the pilot took us low through Love Valley before climbing for the panorama. Landing was smooth, the ground crew had the trailer waiting, and we finished with a toast and certificates. If you are deciding between operators, this is the one — the smaller basket genuinely changes the experience, and the whole morning ran to the minute.

The people flying you

MEET THE CREW

Pilots, chase teams and the people who wake before you

Every Turquaz morning starts hours before yours. Our Civil Aviation licensed pilots read the wind at first light, the chase teams take position in the valleys, and the ground crew has the envelope laid out and checked before a single guest arrives.

The same faces fly you every season — led by Emre Yavuz, the youngest balloon pilot in Cappadocia and our general director, who still takes the burner himself.
