Heaven, earth, and water - when gods travel...

The journey began punctually as agreed at 2:00 AM at the hotel exit. Due to the rather large pickup area, the two tours were merged at a specific point in Antalya. Here we also met our tour guide Ibrahim, who accompanied us safely and entertainingly throughout the day. The hot air balloon ride at sunrise was the absolute highlight in almost calm winds. After the subsequent balloon baptism, we went to the ancient ruins of Pamukkale (entrance fee is charged separately), the backdrop of the amphitheater and warm thermal bath in the limestone is another photo spot and highlight. Finally, an all-you-can-eat lunch, plus drinks, rounded off a great day. I can only highly recommend the tour!
