Hello, we had a look at your newspaper and we found it very interesting, especially the article on Turkey, where we were this summer, and the photo on the home page of the blu lagoon view of Oludeniz with paragliding...It was like finding the thrill of those moments!
Patrizia and Fabrizio from Brescia, 10 September 2009
Hello, and congratulations for the newspaper which I find very interesting and unusual.
I am writing this report in reference to the wonderful Turkey, of which, I note with pleasure, you have described very good the territory in the heading Walking on the World.
However, I must point out that in the spectacular Cappadocia region, particularly in the famous city of Goreme, operating tour companies that offer balloon trips at prices extremely high, for my opinion, like 150 euros per person for one hour of flight only, mainly depending on the service sometimes offered. For the unfortunate passengers, in fact, some of these players flaunts wonderful flying over the valley, but then maybe that does not correspond at all to the evocative places so advertised.
To me, for example, happened to fly over, with "Anatolian Balloon," which they told me to be one of the biggest and best certified in the area, only the vineyards and the roofs of modern houses in Urgup, some kilometers away from the famous Goreme valley of roses, where instead had promised to fly. Faced with complaints, mine and the other tourists unsatisfied, French, British and even Japanese, the response of responsible seemed only a trivial excuse: "all the fault of the wind."
Nothing true in this case, we felt cheated, especially when we realized that in order to save on flights, only our group had departed from the landing site of the previous tour, with a completely different treatment compared to other groups and companies that had paid or had to pay our own price, just in itself exaggerated.
So, be careful not to be cheating from those who consider tourists only "lemons to squeeze."
