Cappadocia, Turkey

First and foremost, it’s the hotspot for hot air balloon flights. People come here to photograph, film, and do photoshoots – every morning, around 100 colorful hot air balloons rise into the sky, creating a truly breathtaking scene. And of course, the natural wonders – stunning valleys, unique rock formations, and caves, some of which have even been converted into hotels. Be prepared for early mornings – all tours (yes, even I took a tour here) start very early, and hot air balloon rides start even earlier. Many hotels have terraces where you can watch the balloons take off, but since I planned to fly in one myself, I didn’t prioritize that when choosing my accommodation.
