We collect you from your hotel while the coast is still asleep, drive you inland to the launch field, and as first light spreads you lift off for roughly an hour in the air — mineral pools glowing below, the ruins of ancient Hierapolis stretched across the ridge. After landing there is a traditional celebration, then a relaxed transfer back, reaching your hotel in the afternoon. Licensed pilots, flight insurance included, and honest weather rules: if the pilot grounds the flight for safety, you reschedule free of charge.
