As part of the Türkiye Culture Route Festival organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, hot air balloons with various shapes brought from different countries flew over the fairy chimneys during the Cappadocia Balloon Festival.
In Nevşehir, where the 8th leg of the Türkiye Culture Route Festival took place, 40 specially shaped balloons — such as “turtle,” “penguin,” “owl,” “parrot,” “cow,” “car,” “frog,” “rocket,” “heart,” and “wolf” — from 27 countries, along with those from Türkiye, created vibrant scenes in the sky.
While hot air balloons prepared by staff at the festival area in Göreme took off one after another, thousands of local and foreign tourists watched this visual feast from the valley slopes and the balloon launch site.
