The Alanya hot air balloon tour is a unique flight experience operated near the ancient city of Aspendos and the world-famous Aspendos Ancient Theatre, located close to Serik district of Antalya, approximately 90 km from Alanya.
With the Alanya hot air balloon tour, the breathtaking landscapes of the Mediterranean region unfold beneath your feet. During the flight, you can admire the historical remains of Aspendos, the majestic silhouette of the Taurus Mountains, the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the Köprüçay River winding through forests toward the sea, and a rich natural landscape covered with thousands of trees. This spectacular sky experience creates unforgettable memories.
Hot air balloons are extremely safe aircraft operated by professional and licensed pilots. They work on the principle of warm air rising and, unlike airplanes or helicopters, they do not have engines, rudders, or traditional steering systems. The direction of the balloon is controlled in a limited way by ascending and descending to catch winds blowing at different altitudes. This natural method of flying makes the experience both peaceful and highly enjoyable.
Hot air balloon flights in the Aspendos region from Alanya are carried out in the early morning hours, when wind conditions are calm and thermal air currents are minimal. The first hours after sunrise provide: a more stable and comfortable flight,a smooth and gentle landing,maximum lift performance making these hours ideal for a safe and relaxing balloon flight.
For many years, balloon tours have been mainly associated with Cappadocia and Pamukkale. Today, the Serik–Aspendos region offers a smart and convenient alternative thanks to its close location to Alanya and Antalya. Instead of long travel times, you can enjoy the same unforgettable balloon experience much closer to your holiday base. Cappadocia is approximately 500 km away (about 7 hours), while Pamukkale is around 370 km (about 5 hours), making the Alanya hot air balloon tour a time-saving and comfortable choice.
