In Aksaray, hot air balloons took off in the Ihlara Valley, the starting point of Cappadocia, one of Turkey's important tourism centers, especially for 'Mother's Day'.

With the hot air balloon flight carried out in Ihlara Valley under the leadership of the governorship, mothers flew to the sky against the scenery of Melendiz Stream, Ihlara Valley, rock-carved houses, Selime Cathedral, and Mount Hasan.

'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 has been declared as 'Family Year' with the approval of our President. Our actions and activities towards the family will continue. Mothers are very sacred. Mothers have a very different place. We chose the balloon flight to create awareness among all our children and in our society. 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 Stream, our rock-carved houses, our Selime Cathedral, and over 100 churches, a very beautiful view of nature, balloons with the view of Mount Hasan really add a different beauty. We increased the number of balloons to 10. Our goal is to increase it to 30, and then, by increasing our destinations again, we aim to promote Ihlara, which is a world brand, even more. By attracting all tourists in Turkey and all tourists in the world to Ihlara, we will further increase the promotion of 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 hot air balloon flying especially for Mother's Day. We are very excited, we are riding for the first time. I am a mother of 4 children, I am very excited." Hava Yıldırım said, "We thank our governor very much for arranging today for us and putting us in a balloon. We are excited because it is Mother's Day. Hopefully, we will overcome our excitement thanks to this."
