Does anyone have any suggestions for hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia? The prices seem astronomical! Like $350 Euro per person! Ouch!
350 Euros seems high. My impression is that the going rate is more like 200-250 Euros these days. Maybe I'm wrong.
I went with Royal Balloons in 2015. It was much cheaper back then -- more like 120 Euros, if I recall correctly. They were excellent.
In June last year, we paid roughly $240.
We booked with Butterfly balloons that Rick recommended in his book. $200 a piece. But we booked in November of last year 2022 for a trip next month in June 2023, so not sure if we got a great price since we booked so far in advance.
I’m guessing supply and pent up demand has made these prices skyrocket. Currently planning our first trip to Turkey for this fall and Butterfly Balloons is quoting €340 pp. I’m leaning more towards a gulet tour instead for 4d 3n and it’s roughly the same price!
