The 4 Balloon Flights in Istanbul We Would Book Again

1.2 Days Cappadocia from Istanbul with Cave Hotel+Optional Balloon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 260 reviews · 2 days (approx.) · from $330Our pick

A tight 2-day Cappadocia escape from Istanbul with cave hotel, expert guiding, UNESCO sites, and an optional balloon flight.

“Poorly managed. The flights picked were inconvenient, wasting much downtime. The guide was a bit belittling and very rigid, to the extent that most people in our group were discontent. The hotel Chakra didn't provide basic necessities and had no facilities—a hot night without even an option to have a fan. I did not enjoy this tour.”

“We were greeted with snow and didn’t get to do the balloon ride. Despite the change in weather, we still had an amazing time! Our guide Mustafa is the best, very patient, knowledgeable and he was very attentive to all details. He took us to amazing spots to see and take pictures. The last restaurant was superb! Hanimeli it’s called. We will be back one day for the balloons! Thank you Mustafa for making our trip memorable. Viator is always on top of things, kept us very informed the whole time.”
