1. It was just three decades ago that the first commercial balloon flight took place.
Lars-Eric Mre and Kaili Kidner operated Turkey's first commercial passenger balloon in 1991. Since then, over 25 businesses and 200 hot air balloons have been licensed to perform balloon excursions in Cappadocia. The hot air balloon business in Cappadocia has only recently flourished, owing to the region's highly favorable climate, the rise of instant media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, and increasing travel accessibility.
There is an intriguing tale behind the name Cappadocia. Locals believe it means "country of lovely horses," however this is a myth that began in the 1980s. When the Turkish government attempted to advertise Cappadocia as a tourist destination, they attempted to alter the name to something more Greek-sounding, but a photographer convinced them that the word had a deeper significance. This is how the myth originated.
