    Asked on September 30th, 2025

    My twin sister and I are hoping to travel to Turkey the first week of August 2026! If there is availability, we had a few questions before booking - 1) What airport would we fly in and out of? 2) Will all transportation and sleeping arrangements be pre coordinated? Can we guarantee a room together with my sister and I? 3) What day would we arrive and depart from Turkey Airport? We would fly from Bradley Airport in CT USA. 4) What time of day would we need to arrive in Turkey and leave? Just so we can scope out flight opportunities!

    Asked on August 9th, 2025

    I am looking into this trip for myself. I really want to see the balloons in Cappadocia but I do not want to ride in one. On this trip can I go and see the balloons or do I have to ride in one? Can you see the balloons taking off from the hotel?

    Tour Details
    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten August 2025

      balloons are flying early in the morning if you dont want to ride with balloon unfortunately we dont have any option to watch them. only in the morning you can take a taxi and can go to the take of area to watch balloons. our hotels are not in take of area so you cannot watch the balloons from hotel.
