Turquaz Standart
Turquaz Balloons is one of the newest hot air ballooning companies in the region of Goreme, Cappadocia. We started the ballooning operation in 2013 as Maccan Balloons, and now operating under Kelebek Group. Turquaz Balloons is well known as the leading operator in the region of Cappadocia. From pick up to drop off our flights are designed to elevate your hot air balloon experience and take it to the next level. By only using smallest balloons in the region, we aim to provide you extra space on the balloon to offer a comfortable flight. This enable our guests to freely move around in the basket with the perfect viewing angle and take pictures as they wish.
