Early in the morning, you take off on a breathtaking hot air balloon ride over the natural beauty of the region. In a flight time of around one hour, you have plenty of opportunity to enjoy the fascinating colours and contrasts of the region. Accompanied by gentle winds, you float gently over the unique fairy chimneys and cave dwellings, which are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Afterwards, another exciting experience awaits you: a visit to the underground city of Özkonak, whose origins date back to Babylonian times. Stroll through the narrow corridors and learn more about the cultural heritage of this ancient settlement.
In the early evening, head to a restored caravanserai from the 13th century, where you will witness a mystical ritual. The sema, as this cultural whirling dervish ceremony is called, consists of various elements, including music, singing and, above all, the characteristic spins of the dervishes. These spins represent the cosmic order and the soul's search for its origin. The ceremony is a UNESCO-recognised masterpiece of the intangible heritage of humanity and an integral part of Turkish culture. Let the spinning dervishes transport you to a world of inner peace and spiritual upliftment.
