* Balloon Rides - are one of the most popular activities in Goreme. Typically lifting off at sunrise, these rides last about an hour depending on price and literally go wherever the wind may blow in the Cappadocia Valley. The balloon carriages hold around ten to twenty people with the pilot riding air currents much like a boat, floating down the valleys, often below the ridge line and quite close to the chimney rocks. It's a fantastic ride and if you've ever had the urge to splurge on a balloon ride (approx. €120), this would be the place to do it. Several hot air balloon companies offer dawn balloon rides, claiming they are better than anywhere else in the world. Ask around about safety records, as some operators are better than others. Prices in low season are from €100. Balloon rides in winter are often cancelled due to strong winds so don't put the balloon ride off until your last morning in Goreme.
* Hiking - Following the paths along the valleys is an amazing (and free) option. Check with your hotel owner or the tourist office for a map of the area with suggested walks and trails. There are several nice loops on packed dirt, sand and rock, that maintain a constant elevation and pass through the scenic valleys.
o The hill to the north of town is an easy 15-minute walk and offers a view of the town and Uçhisar.
* Turkish Night Dinner. 8PM to 11PM. Hotels and agencies will offer to take you to a real turkish dinner in an underground restaurant. It is very touristy with dance troups, dervish dancing, etc. But the food is good and beer, wine, and raki is plenty and free. It seems not to be worth the value for the money unless you drink a lot. YTL 60.
