Side Balloon Tour is very exciting. And a hot air balloon flight over the beautiful Pamukkale is just an incredible opportunity to see Pamukkale from all angles and sides. Everyone has heard about Pamukkale, but not everyone has visited this amazing place.
The updated program of visiting Pamukkale involves a flight in a hot air balloon. While the hot air balloon is taking in vapors of hot air, you will enjoy impressive views of the Pamukkale panorama. From a height, Pamukkale looks a lot like a snow-covered mountain slope – there is already a desire to ski on it. But still, this is not snow, these are calcium deposits that have been accumulating on the surface of this mountain for years. Water enriched with calcium appears on the surface in terraces called travertines. It is these blue terraces, combined with the snow-whiteness of the slope, that create this incredible panorama, which strives to deceive the eye.
After flying on a balloon and descending to the ground, you will go to get acquainted with Pamukkale at arm’s length. In addition to the slope, you can walk along the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis. The ruins of temples, a perfectly preserved ancient theater, the active mineral pool of Cleopatra. Hierapolis prospered during its heyday – life was in full swing here, which was facilitated by mineral springs in the area. Hierapolis also houses Martyrios of St. Philip – one of the twelve apostles of Christ, who met his death in this place in the 1st century AD. Symbols of Christianity will come across to you at every step, alternately with the temples of various Gods, which were revered by the locals.
The updated itinerary of the Side Balloon Tour, now adorned with a hot air balloon flight, will give you a completely new experience and a new look at an already beloved place in the heart of the Republic of Turkey.
