Sunrise Balloons over Cappadocia: A Morning Flight with Royal Balloon

3 January 2023, Cappadocia, Türkiye. We flew with Royal Balloon, one of the region's best-known and most expensive operators, for one reason only: safety. A pre-dawn breakfast, inflation in the dark, rising with the sun, a low pass through Love Valley's spires and a landing on frosted grass — the full record of that morning.
