The Cappadocia Balloon Festival doesn't have fixed dates each year, but it typically takes place between April and October. This is when the weather is warm, winds are light, and there's little rain—ideal for balloon flights. The festival was delayed until July due to health precautions in Turkey.
Flight Experience & Prices
Balloon flights take you 500–1000 meters above Cappadocia’s unique volcanic landscape. Dozens of colorful balloons rise together, creating an unforgettable scene. Flights last about 1.5 hours and cost between €65 and €300, depending on the basket size and number of passengers. You can also book a private flight with a professional pilot.
Festival Activities & What to See
The event includes more than just flights—there are art exhibitions, live music, and plenty of traditional Turkish food. It’s worth staying at least a day to enjoy it all. Nearby, you can see Göreme National Park, surreal rock formations, and stunning valleys. Join a 2-day Cappadocia tour from Belek and make the most of your visit. 🎈
