Hot air balloons were launched in Ihlara Valley, at the starting point of Cappadocia, one of Turkey's important tourism centers, in Aksaray, for a special 'Mother's Day'.

Mothers flew into the sky with a hot air balloon flight organized in Ihlara Valley under the leadership of the governorship, against the backdrop of Melendiz River, Ihlara Valley, rock-carved houses, Selime Cathedral and Mount Hasan.

'OUR MOTHERS ARE VERY SACRED'

Aksaray Governor Mehmet Ali Kumbuzoğlu, who flew with the mothers, said, "We thought, 'Let's make a surprise for our mothers on Mother's Day.' We made such a surprise especially for our farmer and tradesman mothers. The year 2025 was declared as 'Family Year' with the approval of our President. Our actions and activities towards the family will continue. Our mothers are very sacred. The place of mothers is very different. We preferred the balloon flight to create an awareness in all our children and in our society about this awareness. As you know, Ihlara is a world brand."

'WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF BALLOONS TO 10'

Governor Kumbuzoğlu said, "Watching the sunrise in Ihlara with a balloon flight, and our Melendiz River, rock-carved houses, Selime Cathedral and over 100 churches, a very beautiful natural view, balloons add a separate beauty with the view of Mount Hasan. We increased the number of balloons to 10. Our goal is to increase it to 30 and then further promote Ihlara, which is a world brand, by increasing our destinations. We will further increase the promotion of Ihlara by attracting all tourists in Turkey and all tourists in the world to Ihlara."

'WE ARE VERY EXCITED'

Serpil Çevik said, "We received the most beautiful Mother's Day gift thanks to our governor. Today, we will travel with a flying balloon specially for Mother's Day. We are very excited, it is our first time. I am a mother of 4 children, I am very excited." Hava Yıldırım said, "We thank our governor very much for arranging this day for us and putting us in a balloon. We are excited because it is Mother's Day. I hope we will overcome our excitement thanks to this."
