PamukkaleHot Air Balloon Ride

Drift above the white travertines of Türkiye's Cotton Castle and the ancient city of Hierapolis as the sun comes up. A Pamukkale hot air balloon ride is a quiet, breathtaking morning you'll remember for years.

The experience

A sunrise balloon flight above the travertines

Pamukkale's brilliant white travertine terraces look completely different in the warm light of sunrise. A hot air balloon ride is the most beautiful way to take in this UNESCO-listed landscape and the ruins of Hierapolis: slowly, calmly, from above.

How do I book?

Fill in the booking form, message us on WhatsApp, call or email. Your booking is confirmed once we send you written confirmation.

Do balloons fly in Pamukkale every day?

Flights can run all year, but each morning's go/no-go decision depends on that day's wind, rain and visibility. Hot air balloon flights in Türkiye are regulated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (SHGM), and flights are not allowed when conditions are unsuitable. The decision is purely about safety.

Destination

Pamukkale and Hierapolis

On the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1988, Pamukkale–Hierapolis is known for white travertines formed over millennia by calcium-rich thermal waters, and for the ancient city just above them. The theatre, the Antique Pool (Cleopatra's Pool) and the necropolis are all worth exploring after your flight.
