Before the sun clears the silhouette of Göreme, a convoy of minibuses threads quiet village lanes and deposits you at a low stone hangar where wicker baskets wait like open mouths. The air is cool and full of silent promise: pilots unpack envelopes of nylon, burners roar, and a patchwork of balloons inflates until color breaks the dawn.
