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.

Time in the air is 45–60 minutes, depending on the wind. With preparation, the flight and landing, the whole experience takes about 2.5–3 hours. Flight duration guide
Where do Pamukkale balloons take off from?
Balloons launch from open take-off fields around Pamukkale. The exact launch site is chosen each morning according to the wind, so we send you the meeting point and time with your booking.
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.
