#mediterraneanvibes Watching the sunrise from the highest viewpoint in Göreme, Cappadocia is pure magic. As the first golden rays spill across the unique fairy chimneys and valleys, dozens of hot air balloons begin to rise into the sky — it’s like stepping into a dream. 🌄✨ I arrived at the viewpoint early, around 4:30 AM, to secure a good spot. The air was crisp and calm, and anticipation filled the quiet morning. As the sky slowly shifted from deep blue to soft orange and pink, the first balloons lifted off — and then suddenly the sky was dotted with color. 🎨🎈 There’s nothing quite like it — panoramic views of the entire Göreme landscape, endless valleys, and whimsical rock formations, all glowing in the warm sunrise light. Every photo is postcard-worthy. 📸💫 For sunset lovers, the viewpoint is also fantastic in the evening. The setting sun casts dramatic shadows across the landscape, painting the rocks in fiery reds and golds. 🌇 Tip: Bring a blanket or jacket (mornings can be chilly!), some snacks, and a camera with a wide lens. Drones are common too, but check local regulations. 🚁🧥 This experience is a must for every traveler to Cappadocia — spiritual, cinematic, and unforgettable. Don’t just see the sunrise — feel it. 🌞 Sunset/Sunrise/Balloons Highest View point in Göreme 📍İsali - Gaferli - Avcılar, 50180 Göreme/Nevşehir Merkez/Nevşehir, Türkiye #globalcookiecrumbs_turkey #Goreme #Cappadocia #HotAirBalloons #SunriseView #SunsetMagic #GoremeSunrise #TravelTurkey #BalloonFestival #BucketListViews #TravelGoals #FairyChimneys #NatureLovers #TravelMoments #ScenicViews #EpicSunrise #BalloonRide #MagicInTheSky #BestViewEver #WanderlustTurkey #TurkeyTravel #GoremeViewpoint #SunriseLovers #DreamDestination #AdventureAwaits #ChasingSunrise #NaturePhotography #GoldenHour #InstaTravel

I recently visited Cappadocia, a region that requires a 12-hour bus ride from Istanbul. One of the main reasons we went to Cappadocia was to experience the hot air balloons. However, during our three-day stay, the balloons didn’t take off even once. Despite this, I have no regrets about visiting Cappadocia. The night view from Cappadocia was absolutely stunning. At the Cappadocia Sunrise Observation Deck, you can see hot air balloons during the day, but if you visit in the evening, the entrance is free. Although there are no balloons at night, the view of Cappadocia’s nightscape is truly breathtaking. While the city doesn’t have as many lights or the urban beauty of a metropolis, the serene atmosphere, diverse buildings, and beautiful terrain create a picturesque scene. We ended up visiting the Cappadocia Sunrise Observation Deck every night to watch the sunset and enjoy the night view. Although there weren’t as many stars as expected, the ambiance of Cappadocia was so charming that I highly recommend visiting the Sunrise Observation Deck at least once. It’s truly a must-see spot. The night view was an unforgettable experience, offering incredible scenery. Additionally, the area felt very safe, allowing us to explore without any concerns. I found Cappadocia to be a secure place where you can wander freely without worry.

#MayTravelSupport #Cappadocia #TurkiyeTravel #CappadociaBalloon #SunriseSpot It's a Cappadocia morning with a fairytale-like landscape. It's really fantastic to see the balloons rising one by one at sunrise. It's good to go to the viewpoint 10-30 minutes before sunrise and wait, and it's also good to go to the valley and see it, but there's also a good point 10 minutes away on foot from the Puppet Village. The entrance fee is currently 30 lira (as of May 25) It's a great place to see both sunrise and sunset!

Although you have to pay an entrance fee at the entrance to the hill, it was a must-see. The Goreme scenery before the sun set was beautiful, and the sunset and night views were both beautiful, so I ended up taking a lot of pictures. I saw the balloons fly three times during the four days I was in Goreme, and depending on where they were flying, you could see the balloons really close to here. The balloons even flew past! It was a little cold because the wind was blowing, but I was satisfied because I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and atmosphere. I didn't see the balloons here, but I saw many people flying up every morning. Even if you don't see the balloons, I recommend visiting Goreme Meilanjeong. #AprilTravelSupportFund

This is one of the best views you will ever see in your life. The view from the edge of the cliff is truly beautiful. You must stop by and visit this place. Don't miss this amazing view of Goreme. You can enjoy the breathtaking view of Goreme. #AprilTravelSupport

Offers a stunning view of the rock formations, including the pigeons and their homes amongst the rocks. Souvenir shops are also available offering a variety of souvenirs both of the region and Turkey in general. #4월여행지원금

This is the viewpoint sunset observatory in Goreme where you can feel the serene beauty that catches your eye. It is a great viewpoint where you can see the blue-eyed devil tree of Turkey, sell other souvenirs, and take pictures on the top while riding a camel or horse. If you visit Goreme town, you must visit this place. #April travel support fund

Wonderful site to watch during the day and sunset as well. I liked it so much that we went there thrice during our stay at Goreme Cappadocia. There are a couple of restaurants and shops at this spot. You can sit there and have coffee or ice cream. They also have Turkish traditional ice cream which is yummy. It’s a must visit place during your visit to Cappadocia. #4월여행지원금

Goreme has a wonderful atmosphere made of lava layers. You can experience a special visual feast where you can witness history while enjoying your trip. It is a great viewpoint overlooking Goreme town, so experience the amazing panorama from high up. #AprilTravelSupport

This is an observation deck where you can see the topographical features of Goreme. You can enjoy the Goreme landscape at a glance. The Goreme panorama is definitely one of the most beautiful landscapes that Turkey has to offer. Visit the sunset observation deck and see the magnificent scenery with your own eyes. #April travel support fund

If you come to Goreme, this is a place you must visit. It is good to calmly appreciate the works of nature. It is a beautiful place with a wide open view and strangely shaped rocks. If you visit around sunset, you can enjoy the spectacular scenery. Take a picture of your life with a camel! #AprilTravelSupport

As the landscape of Goreme becomes familiar, a slightly different canyon appears, which is a delight to the eyes. It used to be a volcanic terrain, but the river evaporated and the sandstorms inside the canyon eroded it by 2mm per year, creating strangely shaped rocks. I envy the heritage created by time. Before the development of the Internet, Goreme was almost a deserted land, but I think hot air balloons and this type of terrain are what sustain the city. #AprilTravelSupport

#EuropeanTravel One of the most beautiful places to see hot air balloons in Cappadocia is ‘Sunset Point’ in Goreme. This place offers especially beautiful scenery at sunrise and sunset, and you can see hot air balloons decorating the sky at a glance. When you climb up to the observation deck, you can see the town of Goreme and the surrounding valley at a glance, and the sight of hot air balloons rising is like a scene from a fairy tale. Especially at sunrise, the sky turns red and the sight of hot air balloons rising is spectacular. Both sunrise and sunset are beautiful!

A hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia is a must-do on a trip to Turkey, isn't it? Of course, I recommend riding a hot air balloon, but I've heard that it's quite scary and worrying. So, I'll introduce you to a hot air balloon viewing spot that I actually went to, where even people with a fear of heights can enjoy Cappadocia. 📍Balloons Highest View point in Göreme (This is the location that appears on Google Maps) Address: İsali - Gaferli - Avcılar, 50180 Göreme/Nevşehir Merkez/Nevşehir, Turkey I wanted to get a good position, so I aimed to go around 5:30 in the morning 🚶♀️ As you can see in the third photo, it's still pitch black! There were already quite a few people waiting for the sunrise. There are some places with poor footing, so please watch your step ⚠️ Preparations for the launch of the balloons begin around 6 o'clock. As I was doing this, the sunrise came in the opposite direction to the balloons 🌄 Around 6:30, the balloons started to rise, and the view that I saw in the guidebook spread out before me. It was different from the view from above, and I was impressed by the view that seemed to blend in with the city and the balloons. The colorful balloons and the strange rock formations all at once made me feel like I was in Turkey! 🤩 It was a great sight to see the balloons passing directly overhead! It's an easy balloon viewing spot to get to in about 10 to 15 minutes from the city center. If you've been on a balloon! I hope you'll also experience a balloon ride from this spot! ! This is such a recommended spot 🧡 #overseastraveltrip #solotrip #solotrip #turkey #turkeytrip #turkeytrip #cappadocia

#chillandthrill I’ve never seen a sunset quite like the one I witnessed at the Sunset View Point in Cappadocia. This spot, located near Goreme, offers a panoramic view of the valley and its fairy chimneys, with the sun slowly setting behind the surreal rock formations. It’s a popular spot for travelers, but it never feels too crowded. As the golden hour hits, the entire landscape transforms into a painting, with hues of pink, purple, and orange blending across the sky. I sat there for what felt like hours, just soaking in the beauty of the place, listening to the soft hum of chatter from fellow travelers, and watching hot air balloons drift by in the distance. It was the perfect way to wind down a day of exploration in Cappadocia. #CappadociaSunset #GoldenHourViews #SunsetVibes #FairyChimneys #HotAirBalloonViews #NatureIsArt #TranquilEvenings #CappadociaMagic

#EuropeanTravel #Gworeme #Cappadocia #Turkiye I was worried that I would miss the highlight of Cappadocia, the hot air balloons, because the wind was blowing for several days and the hot air balloons couldn't rise, but on the day of departure, the sound of hot air balloons coming out of the sky... I was so excited that I went up the hill, panting, to see the hot air balloons. This was my second time in Cappadocia, so I've seen it before, but this sight is truly spectacular. I couldn't go on the hot air balloon tour because of my fear of heights, but I'm lucky that the exchange rate is only half the price of before, so if you're interested, go quickly and don't miss this tour that's hard to experience before it goes up any further....

#2024wish One of 2023’s most BEAUTIFUL moments was watching this sunset from the highest point in Gorome, Cappadocia! 🌄🥰 It only took about 20 minutes to walk here from the Main Street of Gorome, and the walk was not too strenuous.🚶 At the top, vendors sell drinks, and tourists gather to snap photos! 📸 In the evening, you can watch the beautiful sunset over Cappadocia. But if you’re a morning person, it’s the perfect spot from which to watch the hot air balloons taking off! 🎈🤩 This moment was so magical, and I hope I can see another stunning Cappadocia sunset in 2024! 💗🎉 #turkey #localguides #sunset

Once you go up the hill, you'll be able to see a really beautiful view. I recommend paying 10tl (about 55 yen) per person at the entrance to the hill and climbing the hill for about 10 minutes, as you'll be able to see a spectacular view.
