Is it worth waking up at 4am in Cappadocia for the sunrise hot air balloons?

Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 18 days ago

TL;DR

Opinions vary: some travelers happily get up at 4am for the experience, others prefer sleeping in until 10am and relaxing later — waking up that early isn't mandatory unless you're taking the balloon flight itself.

What the community said

Some travelers naturally wake up early, around 6-7am, and their daily rhythm shifts on its own — they nap later in the day by the pool or at the hotel.
