Cappadocia is one of Turkey’s most fanciful and recognizable landscapes, and during this optional hot-air balloon flight, we’ll soar over its amber terrain and fairy-tale chimneys, savoring a unique panorama in the quiet, rosy light of dawn.

On this tour, witness the “Ritual of Sema.” The Semazens, the so-called Whirling Dervishes, believe that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. From the smallest cell to the planets and the farthest stars, everything takes part in this revolving. Thus, the ones who whirl participate consciously in the shared revolution of all existence. As the Semazen (with their camel's-felt hats representing tombstones and wide white skirts symbolizing shrouds) whirl, their motions represent a spiritual journey. We cap our experience with a glass of sweet Turkish sherbet.
