Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Ride at Sunrise — Soar Above the Spectacular White Terraces

Why Pamukkale Is One of Turkey’s Most Visited Natural Wonders

Every year, nearly 2 million visitors travel to Pamukkale to witness its extraordinary landscape. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pamukkale is famous for its snow-white travertine terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down the hillside.

Since 1993, the region has been under strict protection. Uncontrolled construction was stopped, illegal buildings were removed, and walking or sunbathing on the travertines was prohibited. As a result, Pamukkale has fully regained its natural brilliance and once again stands as one of the most striking sights in the ancient world.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION — Pamukkale & Hierapolis Hot Air Balloon Ride

The hot air balloon flight over Pamukkale and Hierapolis is a special experience that is highly dependent on weather conditions and operational safety rules. Please read the following important information carefully before joining the tour.

— The balloon flight takes place over Pamukkale & Hierapolis. The exact flight route cannot be guaranteed, as it is determined by wind direction and weather conditions on the day of the flight. Each flight is unique.

— Comfortable clothing is strongly recommended. Guests will be standing in the balloon basket during the flight, so comfortable, casual clothing and flat, closed shoes are advised.
