If you're planning a holiday in Cappadocia, looking for inspiration for your next travels, or just curious about how the balloons stay in the air then please enjoy the following "Q&A" guide.How does a Hot Air Ballooon work?Simply because warm air rises above colder air!

In fact many people take holidays to Cappadocia specifically for this reason. It's not unknown to have a wedding celebrated by balloon flight! There are many companies offering flights in the cities of Nevsehir, Kayseri, and Nigde...more
