Cat valley is a great alternative to the famous hot air balloon flights in Goreme. This is because, the area demonstrates the same geological characteristics, but the weather conditions allow more frequent flights. In addition, Cat valley is one of the least known in the region of Cappadocia. Therefore, you can always find available flights in Cat, when Goreme is crowded and busy. When you arrive there, a short introductory briefing follows. The professional pilots will provide important and interesting facts about the flight, such as the safety instructions you need to know. They will then prepare the hot air balloon, and you can watch the whole process and take some cool photos.
