Top Air Activities in Turkey

Make sure to explore the little side streets in Oludeniz for cheaper eateries. I found some hidden gems serving authentic Turkish meals that were way less expensive than the tourist traps by the beach

Bring your own beach chair if you can... Renting one can eat into your budget, but laying on a towel can feel a bit rough after a while on the sand

I think it’s totally worth getting up super early for the sunrise flights. Watching the sky light up while floating over the fairy chimneys is just unforgettable!

I recommend booking your hot air balloon ride well in advance especially during peak season. It can fill up quickly and you don’t want to miss out on this incredible experience!

Make sure to check if your balloon company includes breakfast before the flight. We didn't know we had free snacks and drinks, and we could have had a more filling morning!

If you can, try to book your flight during the weekdays. The crowds are smaller, and you might get a more personalized experience. We went on a Saturday and it was a bit hectic with all the balloons!

I recommend getting there early, around 8 AM, to avoid the crowds and catch the morning flight conditions. It's way more relaxed and super beautiful!

I suggest asking about photo packages—they can be a fun addition! I wish I had captured more moments instead of relying on my blurry phone pics.

i recommend booking your flight at least a week in advance for the best prices. last-minute bookings can get pretty pricey!

My advice is to dress in layers! It was chilly in the morning before the sun came up, but got warm quickly once we got floating.

If you can, I recommend chatting with your pilot about their experience. They often know the best spots to glide over and can make the trip more fun! Plus, they’re usually super friendly and full of tips.

I think it’s a good idea to pack a light jacket... It can get chilly in the early morning, but once you’re up in the balloon, it warms up quickly

My advice is to check the weather a few days ahead. I noticed companies often cancel flights due to weather, so having flexible dates can save you from disappointment

If you're on a budget, look for discount packages or combo deals that include other activities in the area. I managed to save quite a bit by finding one that included a day tour of the surrounding sites!
