| Description: | Ideal Time
Whole year is convenient for hot air balloon flights in Cappadocia. Flights are only cancelled because of strong winds which are unusual in Cappadocia. They only fly very early in the morning for safety since the lower and upper winds are more stable until 8 am in the morning.
The poetic landscape of Cappadocia, gloriously bathed in the early morning light contributes a lot to take stunning photos.
Hot air balloons can fly with light rain but they don’t take off during the rain. The rain wets the balloon and makes it heavier. A heavy balloon is harder to navigate which prevents the hot air balloon pilots from taking off if rain is expected.
Ballooning Tips
You should dress considering the season and convenient for an outdoor activity. You are not going to hike or walk a lot but since you will take off and land into the grass, it is better to wear convenient shoes.
The weather gets colder as you ascend but the limit of altitude for hot air balloons in Cappadocia is not very different from the ground. It is better to have a light jacket with you that you can always take off. |
