As the sky brightened, more visitors gathered in the area, and the number of balloons in the air increased dramatically.
Cappadocia in ancient times bordered the Black Sea to the north, the Taurus Mountains to the south, the Euphrates River to the east, and the Salt Lake to the west, according to National Geographic. After the Persian invasion in the 6th century BCE, the region was divided into two parts: Pontus in the north and Rocky Cappadocia in the south.
Today, the most-visited areas of Cappadocia are in central Turkey, with Nevşehir being the largest city in the region.
