Introduction

Once upon a time, there was a small, colorful and curious hot air balloon who dreamed of traveling the world.

One day, it set off on a special adventure through the countries of Europe. Flying through the sky, it met new friends, discovered different traditions, and visited wonderful places.

Each journey became a story full of emotions, discoveries, and imagination.

Are you ready to go with it?

Then climb aboard... the hot air balloon is about to take off!

The adventure begins by landing in a small village in the province of Naples.....

In Sant’Antimo, people celebrate a special tradition called The Flight of the Angel.

An angel flies above the church and the town square during the festival.
There are colourful lights, fireworks and happy people everywhere.

This tradition brings our community together and makes us proud of our culture. 

TÜRKİYE/MERSİN

"The adventure continues without slowing down! This time, our colorful hot air balloon glides towards Mersin, the pearl of the Mediterranean and one of Türkiye's most beautiful cities, sharing in the rich cultural heritage of the city."
