Even in July? Why is Cappadocia so cold in the morning?

Travelers pack shorts and t-shirts for summer, then freeze during the balloon ride.

The Reason:
Cappadocia is a high plateau (1000m+ altitude) with a continental climate.

  • Daytime: Can be 35°C (Hot!).

  • Night/Morning: Can drop to 10-15°C.

Advice: Even if the forecast says “Hot”, bring a light jacket or hoodie for the 5:00 AM balloon flight. You can take it off later when the sun comes up.
