Imagine stepping into a picture in a fairytale book, and finding yourself surrounded by peace, colour and a breath of fresh air. As a child, we loved adventure, magic and make-believe. We would imagine that anything can be possible and that the world is filled with excitement.Â
The sparkle begins to fade as we adjust to reality. There are very few places where we imagine having that same feeling of endless possibilities. But Cappadocia in Turkey is one place in the world that is guaranteed to resurrect that magic.Â
Why Cappadocia is so beautiful
There are fairy chimneys, beautiful Turkish decor, and carpets everywhere you look. Turkish mosaic lanterns illuminate the stalls in the streets, while diners enjoy some romance in the quiet restaurants.Â
You’ll likely find images of Cappadocia as a cover image for most travel-related content on advertisements. And lives up to those expectations of a dream trip.
Despite its increasing popularity, Cappadocia is still an intimate destination. The feeling of utter peace, happiness and tranquillity is just a fraction of what makes Cappadocia so great. And yet, it gets even better.Â
Watch the hot air balloons in Cappadocia
It’s five o’clock in the morning and the sun is beginning to rise. You wake up and walk up to the terrace of your hotel. As though the world has come to a halt to watch the show, you see the breathtaking hot air balloons in all colours as they elegantly float and dance across the sky that is their stage.
There is no sight so beautiful, and it’s real.Â
Free spirits worldwide are desperate to experience the magic. Surreal like a painting, the pastel-coloured skies fill with bright, bold wonders that can be spotted everywhere you look. Once you experience it, it’s difficult to put into words how spectacular it is, but it is guaranteed to provide a forever-treasured memory.
Koza Cave Hotel
You’re guaranteed an unforgettable experience, and this is no exception for accommodation. With fairy chimney views and several viewpoint terraces across the region, a stay in a stunning cave hotel is easy to find.Â
