Not only on the roads, Uber will now also take you by air. Book a balloon flight in Cappadocia!
Uber is introducing new options for app users. They will actually make a reservation through Uber while traveling in Turkey balloon flight after Cappadocia, which will take them 300 meters above the ground above the famous Goreme National Park, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
How to book a hot air balloon flight in Cappadocia
Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985, Cappadocia National Park is full of stunning "fairy chimneys" (or hoodoos), pillars, river valleys and cliffs. The best time to fly over them is in spring and autumn, when the weather is milder.
Driving with Uber it costs 150 euros per person and takes about an hour and a half. Of course, the balloon trip depends on the weather conditions, but it is recommended that you book your trip at least 12 hours in advance. So not 5 minutes earlier, as we like to do with transfers. But that's not all. To celebrate, Uber is giving away 100 free hot air balloon rides. And another tip, dress appropriately. It is much colder in the air than on the ground, so wear several layers of clothing.
Hot air balloons are the latest experience that Uber has introduced to some popular travel destinations around the world. Earlier this year, the company began offering travelers the option to book a boat on Mykonos in partnership with local boat companies. Last year, however, Uber came up with (free) sleigh rides pulled by reindeer in Lapland.
And why Cappadocia? The company has seen a huge increase in travelers and demand in this part of the world. In fact, they said nearly 26 million people opened the app this year to request a ride there.
