150 balloons at sunrise. Most-posted travel photo on Instagram.
Every single morning, up to 150 hot air balloons rise over Cappadocia's fairy chimneys, cave dwellings, and volcanic rock formations in central Turkey. The sunrise balloon flight is the single most-posted travel experience on Instagram — period. Balloon rides cost $150-300 per person and operate year-round, weather permitting. The region's cave hotels charge premium rates for "balloon view" rooms. Goreme National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but nobody visits for the heritage — they visit for the content.
