Full description
Your adventure begins in the pre-dawn quiet as our driver collects you directly from your Kemer hotel and we set off along the coastal road toward the legendary plateau of Pamukkale. The journey north winds past pine-clad mountains and sleepy villages just waking up, and as the sky lightens you will feel the anticipation build with every kilometre. We time the drive so you arrive at the launch field while the air is still and cool, the perfect conditions for a smooth and unforgettable balloon flight.
As the burners roar and the balloon swells with hot air, you lift gently off the earth and the whole of Pamukkale unfolds beneath you. From your wicker basket you drift over the famous snow-white travertine terraces, their mineral pools glowing in the soft light of sunrise, while the columns and theatre of ancient Hierapolis stretch out across the ridge. Your experienced pilot guides the balloon higher to reveal the cotton-castle slopes in their full glory, then lower again so you can almost trace the edges of each shimmering basin. The silence aloft, broken only by the occasional burst of the burner, makes this one of the most magical moments you will ever experience in Turkey.
After a gentle landing and a traditional celebration on the ground, you have time to walk barefoot through the warm calcium pools and explore the travertines that gave Pamukkale its name. There is freedom to wander the site at your own pace, snap photographs of the terraces glistening in the morning sun and soak up the atmosphere before we begin the comfortable drive back toward Kemer. By the time you reach your hotel you will carry home memories of a sunrise spent floating above one of nature's true wonders, and a story you will be telling for years to come.
