Once you arrive in Pamukkale, you will be greeted by the captain of your hot air balloon who will then give you a full safety explanation and you will learn any dos and don’ts before you enter the balloon. Once the ride begins, the balloon will float up into the sky at the same time as the sun rises, creating a dreamy atmosphere. The skies colours look amazing in the background of the “cotton castles” and this landscape image will stay with you for a lifetime.

Once the balloon descends after 1 hour and you reach the land, it will be time for breakfast! You will have 5 hours to spend at your will, exploring the beautiful place that is Pamukkale.

Hierapolis is breathtaking from both bird’s eye view and up close. The towering columns and intricate decorations are charming and really interesting to see up close. 

Further along inside Pamukkale is Cleopatra’s pool. The bubbling natural hot springs is said to resemble champagne, and legend has it that Egyptian Queen Cleopatra herself swam here; after all, she was gifted this magnificent pool as a wedding gift.
