For those who thought – just like me – that there are only a few days in the year where you’ll see countless balloons above the dreamy landscapes of Cappodacia. You are wrong. The balloons are there every single day. If you didn’t see them while visiting Cappadocia yourself, you just didn’t get out of your bed early enough as they take of at sunrise (5.15am in May) and fly between one and two hours.
