Hi everyone, we are planning a 15-day Turkey self-drive trip during the Spring Festival, starting from 18th Feb. Night bus from Goreme to Antalya on 18th Feb, pick up the car at Antalya airport on 19th Feb, return the car in Izmir on 22nd Feb. We would like to follow a clockwise route. Could you recommend a suitable route for us? Are the cotton castle worth visiting? Any answers would be appreciated, thanks ? Turkey Q&A
Can anyone tell me if the hot air balloon trip is booked in Turkey? I saw a travel guide that said the price would be cheaper during the off-season, but when I contacted royal, it seemed like there was no discount ? Turkey Q&A
Today arrived at Kapapa, and then Fliggy notified that the hot air balloon was broken the next day and could not fly, and then had to refund me. I had to book a hotel myself, and everyone had to add 600 RMB per person. Have you encountered such a situation ? Turkey Q&A
Hello everyone! How did you book the hot air balloons in Goreme? Both the butterfly and royal balloons for October 10th are said to be fully booked. The innkeeper said that they can only be booked one day in advance for 200 euros, but they will be booked for 250 euros now. Is this a bit expensive ? Turkey Q&A
The hotel said they would help me book a hot air balloon, so I went to the bank to exchange euros. However, the hotel later said they couldn't book one , so I booked one on Taobao instead. Now I'm left with a bunch of euros that I can't seem to use conveniently ? Turkey Q&A
Can anyone tell me if hot air balloons are usually booked through Taobao or hotels? I've inquired and both Taobao and the official website have said that there are no available slots for the Butterfly and Royal balloons, but the hotels say there are still slots available. Is this credible ? Turkey Q&A
May I ask the hotel owner that now he cannot help guests to book hot air balloon, only guests can try to book by themselves. I want to fly around Aug 1st, do I need to book in advance? How did everyone book theirs ? Turkey Q&A
Can you tell me how many euros you usually exchange when you go to Turkey? Do you need to pay in euros for paragliding and hot air balloon rides? Are there any other items that require payment in euros? Thank you for answering ? Turkey Q&A
Want to rent a car for a day to play around Tuz Gölü while waiting for the hot air balloon in Goreme, but can't find Goreme Auto? I wonder if there are any companions who have rented a car in Goreme, where can I rent it ? Turkey Q&A
Two girls, have booked flights (arrive Istanbul at 9.30pm on 30th September, return to Guangzhou in the afternoon on 12th October) The itinerary is currently only rough plan, about the route: Istanbul - Goreme (Cappadocia, hot air balloon + ATV) - Pamukkale - Fethiye (paragliding) - Istanbul; can self-drive in the middle (✔️ all have international driving license certification) Looking for two guys to join together (other interested MM can also join, mainly concerned about safety issues) Is there anyone with suitable time to join together~ ?
