Cappadocia is a region in central Turkey known for its unique landscape of "fairy chimneys" formed by erosion of soft volcanic rock. Hot air ballooning is a major tourist activity, with hundreds of flights launched daily among the scenic valleys. While balloon tours are generally safe, some risk remains as the industry has grown rapidly in popularity. Regulations require balloons have GPS and permit a maximum number per flight window to reduce crowding risks.

6. Hot air balloons in Turkeyare licensed, regulated aircraft.Pilots must meet
certain standards of training, experience, age and health to be licensed. Hot
air balloon companies must carryinsurance coverage.
In Turkey, the Ministry of Transportation, Directorate-General of Civil Aviation,
is the licensing authority for hot air ballooning companies, just as it is for
airlines.
Of course, every balloon company wants to operatesafely. No one wants an
accident or injury.
However, the system is not perfect. I receive reports of occasional accidents,
of pilots' licenses not being renewed (but the pilots' flying anyway),
of insurancecoverage lapsing or being revoked and not being renewed, of pilot
error, of equipment failure.
Hot-Air Balloon Safety in
Turkey
7. In other words, safe as it is, with thousands of flights being completed safely
every month, hot air ballooning in Cappadocia still involves some risk.
Even with the best equipment, the most experienced ground crews and
pilots, the most thorough safety procedures, accidents can happen, just as
they do with commercial airlines.
The risk is increasing as hot-air balloon flights in Cappadocia become ever
more popular. More and more balloons launch at the same time, and try to
crowd into the same picturesque valleys at the same time.
The danger is not that these aircraft may collide horizontally but, rather,
vertically: if a balloon rises into the basket of another balloon, its fabric
envelope (the "balloon" part filled with hot air) may be damaged, causing
loss of hot air and a too-rapid descent to the ground.
At this point I must re-emphasize that Cappadocian balloon
companies launch literally hundreds of flights every day (90 balloons, some
doing two flights daily), and accidents are extremely rare.

16. About Cappadocia
The ancient region of Cappadocia lies in central Anatolia, between the cities of Nevsehir, Kayseri and Nigde. Here,
the traveller finds one of the most fantastic landscapes in the world. Three million years ago, violent eruptions of the
volcanoes Mt. Erciyes (3891m) and Mt. Hasan (3250m) covered the surrounding plateau with tuff. Wind and weather
have eroded the soft volcanic rock into hundreds of strangely shaped pillars, cones and "fairy chimneys", often very
tall, and in every shade from pink through yellow to russet browns.
Since the most ancient of times, men have hollowed out troglodyte dwellings in this soft rock, and here, at the dawn
of Christianity, the early Christians made countless cave churches, chapels and monasteries. There are over 600
churches scattered through the valleys. The art style of the churches falles into two categories: the 8th and 9th
centuries are the iconoclastic years, with decorations in red earth tones and symbolism in simple geometric motifs;
the 10th to the 13th centuries saw decorations on a plaster base and show the lives of Christ and various saints.
Interestingly, in some of the churches the frescoes of the later period have fallen off, revealing earlier decorations
underneath. The architectural plan of the churches is uncomplicated.
Also in this region are a number of underground cities which were used by Christians as places to retreat to and live
in until danger from their enemies had passed. These cities were well-hidden and safe. There were rooms for grain
storage, stables, sleeping chambers, kitchens and air shafts. Today they are well-lit and would be an interesting part
of your tour.
Goreme is an important area for shopping with its wonderful carpets and kilims, onyx souvenirs, and very fine local
wines. It is also a wonderful region for trekking and for photo-safaris. The scenery is breathtaking in all four seasons:
miniature poppies in the springtime, the touring hot-air balloons and flowers of summertime, autumn's grapes and
blaze of gold, and the winter blanket of snow.
