Overview

Early in the morning dozens of hot air balloons rise over Göreme, and beneath them lies a landscape that looks as if designed by another world. Cappadocia is for many the moment towards which a whole Turkey trip runs. The tuff formations, the cave churches and the underground cities cannot be taken in on one day. Plan at least three nights, so that a balloon flight can also take place if the wind prevents one morning.

Anyone who stays in a cave hotel experiences the stillness in the evening, when the day visitors have left. Hikes through valleys such as the Red and Rose Valley show the colours at sunset. The flight time is approx. 3 hrs, and entry is visa-free for Swiss citizens for up to 90 days.

The entry requirements of the FDFA (EDA) are authoritative, and you should check them before booking. Because of the short journey Turkey suits trips where the time before the trip is precious, such as a milestone birthday or the honeymoon. Istanbul can be added as an opening if more days are available. In the video call the period is fixed early, because balloon places are limited.
