EXCEPTIONAL SHORE EXPERIENCES in CAPPADOCIA
Let
you spirit soar with an unforgettable Balloon adventure over CAPPADOCIA’s Magical Landscape with an
early bird departure from your cave hotel, you will be driven to the most
celebrated balloon company’s site in Cappadocia, to start your hot-air-balloon
ride, hailing the slowly rising sun, with the excitement of seeing from above
the lunar landscape and the farthest “Fairy
Chimneys” of the vast region of Cappadocia, as if you are in a “Fantastic Dream”.
The
highest safety standards of the fleet of luxury balloon and equipment, that we
book exclusively for our esteemed guests, are of world quality to ensure the
comfort of our guests with a lovely touch of luxury, as they are transferred
privately back to their hotel where a sumptuous open buffet breakfast is
waiting for you before you are ready for a new day in Cappadocia, with other
“fun” experiences and wonderful cultural “surprises” for “Art Work Creators and Wine Lovers”.
Your
bilingual expert guide of the Cappadocia region will privately escort you today
as you visit the Goreme Open Air Museum, under the protection of UNESCO, as one
of the Turkey’s World Heritage Sites, with two thousand years of history of
early Christians having built underground cities with decorated churches. The
remarkably well preserved underground site today continues to create an
unforgettable experience for International visitors.
You
will then continue to AVANOS village
of the region where you will meet with one of the most colorful personalities
of Cappadocia, the Old Master of Pottery,
at his primitive atelier that he built personally in labyrinth like caves of
the village, where earth is soft and reddish in color – an ideal raw material
for the area’s traditional business of pottery making. The Famous Old master
will show you how to use his old fashioned kick-wheel, if you wish to produce
your own pottery item then and there, with your name on work of art that you
personally just created.
A
delicious lunch will be served at one of the local Turkish home restaurants
celebrated for the taste of their local dishes made up of fresh vegetables that
they grow in their own gardens.
In
the afternoon, you will discover that Cappadocia is a heaven for wine lovers,
being one of the oldest vine yard
regions in the World. You will be welcomed by the TURASAN Family’s third generation in charge of the main producing
center of Cappadocia, as every bottle of wine is made with great care and
attention to protecting their famous quality and taste in Turkey.
You
will visit their underground wine collars, stocking their wine barrels that
will eventually be bottled into ONE MILLION bottles for the local and
International markets. Upstairs, you will enjoy their wine tasting ceremony of
red-white and rose TURASAN wines,
together with the best of local cheese.
Before
you say good-bye to TURASAN’s warm hospitality prior to your transfer back to
your hotel, you will be presented with a
bottle of selected wine with UTS’s Compliments.
