Balloons dazzle Türkiye’s Cappadocia
NEVŞEHİR
Local and foreign tourists flocked to central Türkiye’s Cappadocia region for the seventh Cappadocia Balloon Festival organized by the Culture and Tourism Ministry.
Balloons shaped like a whale, heart, owl, chick, wolf, duck, bird, octopus, rocket, earth and clown from Türkiye, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Brazil, Slovakia, Austria and Poland, and commercial balloons were prepared for takeoff. The balloons soared over the area’s fairy chimneys for an hour.
Tourists formed long vehicle queues on the road connecting the region’s historic towns of Göreme and Avanos. Aerial footage captured the heavy density of vehicles and people in the area. The event ends tomorrow after flights over the local Kılıçlar and Güllüdere valleys.
