11:Cappadocia, Turkey

I floated over fairy-chimney rock formations in a hot air balloon—no big deal, just sunrise magic. Ancient cave dwellings peek from valleys, and every dawn feels like a scene from a fantasy epic. My camera’s storage was begging for mercy…

If you’re dreaming of floating over those fairy-chimney valleys, I swear Royal Balloon Cappadocia is worth the early alarm—hello, sunrise magic!
Book one of the epic Cappadocia tours that bundle cave-hotel stays and guided hikes through ancient rock formations.
Nothing beats drifting in a Cappadocia hot air balloon above Göreme, then landing for a local breakfast in a grotto cave.
From balloon baskets to cave suites in Cappadocia, Turkey, this place feels like stepping into another world—no passport stamp required!
