    What to expect

    1

    Akropolis

    Your guide will meet you in your hotel or on your cruise ship. You will drive approximately 1,5 hours by private car. Your first stop will be Pergamon Acropolis. The ancient site of Pergamum should win an award for its stunning location alone. Rolling across the hillside, five kilometers from the modern town of Bergama (there is a cable car if you have no car and don't fancy the steep ascent), the Acropolis area was once the beating heart of a powerful Hellenistic city. You will have about one hour to have lunch.

    Duration 120 minutes

    The Asklepion

    After that, you will visit Acropolis. This ancient spa is a two-kilometer uphill hike from the modern town of Bergama. During the 2nd century AD, it thrived as a major healing center, with mud bath treatments and the use of herbal remedies, and many of its remaining buildings date from its Roman-era glory days rather than the earlier Hellenistic period.

    Red Basilica (Kizil Avlu)

    This massive red-brick ruin was originally built by Hadrian (AD 117-138) as a temple dedicated to the gods Serapis and Isis. Later, in the Byzantine era, it was converted into a church and dedicated to the Apostle John, who had earlier called this grandiose pagan temple the throne of the devil.
