Cappadocia, along with Kenya and South Africa, is one of the most popular places in the world for hot air ballooning. Visitors can get a breathtaking, panoramic bird's-eye view of Cappadocia while soaring in a hot air balloon. Cappadocia has a unique and bizarre terrain due to the cooled lava from volcanic eruptions, which was then shaped by natural wind erosion. The curving valleys, rolling mountains, winding rivers and scattered market towns can all be enjoyed from the air.
