Cappadocia, Turkey

Cappadocia, Turkey, features hundreds of hot air balloons floating over fairy chimneys at dawn, the single most shared travel image in history, and seeing it in person is somehow even more surreal. This sunrise spectacle is cheaper than the typical European hotspot, with a balloon ride costing $250, and outperforms #1 Santorini’s sunset in volume of daily posts by 20%. Over 4 million photos are tagged with #Cappadocia on Instagram each year, making it the ultimate dreamscape for aerial photography.
