Great experience for a first-timer! Although unlike the pictures where you flew among the balloons, maybe because our glide time was late morning, our pilot drove us out of Goreme to a really high point to start! The experience was quick (10mins) but exhilarating!! Very different from the balloon ride. (Reviewed on 2024-11-24)
