History of Balloon In Cappadocia

In the past few centuries, the Cappadocia region, which has been visited by many famous travelers and attracted attention as if it is a place from another universe due to its landforms, has increased the interest in this region due to the writings of some travelers about Cappadocia and has made more travelers wonder about this place.The task of PAUL LUCAS, who was appointed by the French royal palace on behalf of the French royal family in the 18th century, was to travel to the Mediterranean countries, collect information about these countries and convey this information to the French royal palace. During his visit to the Mediterranean countries, PAUL LUCAS also came to Anatolia and had the opportunity to advance to the Cappadocia region. When he came to the Cappadocia region, he wrote an article. Later in this book: (Voyage Dans La Turquie, L'asie, Sourie, Palestine, Haute & Basse Egypte, Etc. ... ) the text is as follows:

The beauty of the caves was astonishing, but when I got to the opposite side of the actual water, the ancient monuments I saw took me by surprise. When I think about it, even now this image confuses me. I've traveled a lot to this day, but I've never seen or heard of anything like it. There were an incredible number of pyramids, some higher, some shorter, all made of the same rock; they were all hollow inside, forming several circles on top of each other; They had nice entrance doors and nice stairs to climb. Then I observed that the end of each pyramid resulted in a different shape.”

PAUL LUCAS thought that the natural formations in Cappadocia were handmade monuments, but these rocks were not made of man-made materials, on the contrary, they were natural rocks formed by nature, such as wind, rain and storm.

PAUL LUCAS influenced the travelers who would come to Cappadocia after him. Two travelers and adventurers like PAUL LUCAS pioneered the initiation of hot air balloon flights in Cappadocia. These 2 adventurers took permission to fly in the sky of Cappadocia a few times as an amateur, and then, as a result of wanting to involve other people in this adventure, they made this flight official and made the first commercial flight in 1991. The names of these 2 people are Kylie and Lars, they are now frequently used. Even if they are not remembered, they are one of the important names who started balloon flights in Cappadocia. Today, hot air balloon flights are the most important activity of Cappadocia and the most enjoyable and safest way to watch the unique view of the fairy chimneys with the best view.
