“If travelling half way across Europe wasn’t enough for us, when we
were told that we were yet to experience some of the ‘Must do’
activities in Cappadocia, all eyes lit up”
Youth Television is a Youth led media organisation which has
developed a wide range of opportunities for young people in the UK throughout
2013 so far.
11 Young people, including myself were given a life changing
opportunity to explore the historical land marks, cave homes & fairy
chimneys from a bird’s eye view. During
the making of the full feature documentary in the heart of Cappadocia, we discovered
some of the most breath taking views & finally understood why thousands of
tourists visit the town Goreme every year.

It was an early start for us all, as we set out from our
hotel at 5.30am before sun rise. On arrival to our location, we were welcomed
by other tourists, Hot air balloon staff, Hot drinks & refreshments
accompanied by a camp site fire. The view from where we stood was lovely. We
had never been surrounded by so many uniquely shaped rocks & fairy chimneys
that stood behind us. Slowly the sun began to rise, as our Hot air balloon was
prepped before us. It was time to board what seemed so big to begin with, but
so small as we all entered into the basket which was about to carry us
thousands of feet into the air. There were moments of excitement as we started
to ascend higher & higher into the clouds.
The view was like nothing we had dreamt or imagined. For 40
magical minutes we travelled across the town overlooking some of history’s most
uniquely shaped land marks, known as Turkey’s cultural treasures which wait to
be discovered by thousands of tourists that visit Cappadocia each & every
year. We slowly descended back to base; it was all over way too soon. As we
safely landed, the team made a round of applause. To complete the experience, we were hosted
with a Champagne reception & flying certificates for
taking part of one of Cappadocia’s must do activities.
“This was most
definitely an experience to die for, and I recommend it to anyone who intends
on visiting Cappadocia any time soon. Thank you YTV” -Lameia More
