Overview

Make your holiday truly unforgettable with the Sorgun Pamukkale Balloon Tour, a magical sunrise flight over one of Turkey’s most iconic wonders. As the first light of day touches the snowy-white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, you’ll float gracefully above this UNESCO World Heritage Site, taking in panoramic views of the Hierapolis Ancient City and the surrounding landscapes. After your aerial adventure, enjoy a relaxing exploration of Pamukkale’s terraces, ancient ruins, and the legendary Cleopatra’s Pool for a perfect mix of excitement and tranquility.

🌄 Sunrise Flight Over Pamukkale

Your adventure begins in the early hours with a comfortable hotel pick-up from Sorgun. Travel in an air-conditioned coach towards Pamukkale, passing through scenic landscapes that set the tone for the day. Upon arrival, watch as the giant hot-air balloons are prepared for take-off. As you ascend into the sky, the breathtaking view of the Cotton Castle bathed in golden light unfolds beneath you, revealing patterns and textures that can only be appreciated from above.

🏞️ Unmatched Panoramic Views

During the one-hour flight, witness the stunning contrast between the gleaming white terraces, the green hills, and the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. Capture photographs that will instantly become your most cherished holiday memories. On landing, celebrate with a traditional champagne toast and receive your official flight participation certificate as a keepsake.

🏛 Explore Pamukkale & Hierapolis

After the balloon flight, enjoy around four hours to explore Pamukkale on foot. Walk barefoot across the mineral-rich travertines, feel the warm waters beneath your feet, and step into history with a visit to Hierapolis Ancient City. Marvel at its ancient theatre, Roman baths, and necropolis before indulging in the rejuvenating waters of Cleopatra’s Pool, where legend says the queen herself once swam.

🍽 Delicious Buffet Lunch

Recharge with a freshly prepared open buffet lunch at a local restaurant, featuring a variety of authentic Turkish dishes to suit all tastes. This is the perfect opportunity to relax and share your favorite moments from the morning’s adventure.

Such an amazing experience with the family! Watching the landscape light up was something special. Even the non-adventurous folks in my group had a great time. Highly recommend for anyone visiting with the family.

This has to be the highlight of our trip! The sunrise was incredible and seeing the cotton castles from above was magical. Super family-friendly and our guide was so nice. A hot drink after the morning flight was just what we needed too!

Wow, what an experience! Floating above Pamukkale at sunrise was unreal! 🌄 Perfect for families, the kids loved watching the balloons inflate and the ride was super smooth. The views were jaw-dropping. Don't miss the Cleopatra's Pool after, great for the little ones to splash around in!

A family treat that was worth every penny. The early start was tough, but seeing my kids' faces light up made it all worthwhile. Highly recommend grabbing a spot by the basket's edge for the best view.

We took the balloon ride last week with the family and absolutely loved it! The kids were initially nervous, but their excitement peaked as we soared. From up there, Pamukkale looks like a fluffy cotton paradise. Perfect way to start the day! 😊
