Pergamon Ruins Excursion

At 8 am on the morning of the tour, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Izmir. From there, we'll hop on a comfortable minibus for the ride to the Turkish province of Bergama.

After an hour and a half, we'll arrive at what was once the Greek city of Pergamon. Walking amongst the ruins, you'll discover its terraces, the acropolis, the temples built in honor of Greek and Roman gods, and the famous Altar of Zeus.

Our next stop will be at the Asclepeion of Pergamon, dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing. This site was used as a healing temple where you'll learn about past healing techniques.

The last visit will be to the Archaeological Museum of Pergamon, where you'll see remnants of the old city and continue learning about its history.

Once we've worked up an appetite, we will take you to a local restaurant for a buffet lunch featuring typical dishes of the area.

At the end of the tour, we'll return to Izmir, arriving at your hotel around 5 pm.
