Embark on an adventure to Pergamon, an ancient cultural, artistic, and scientific center of the Hellenistic world. Whether you choose to walk or take the cable car to this hilltop marvel, the journey is just the beginning of an extraordinary experience. Pergamon's historical significance as one of the greatest cities in the Greek world is evident in its sprawling hilltop splendor. The modern cable car offers breathtaking views, a luxury the ancient Greeks and Romans didn't have. Explore the ancient sites and witness the Roman enhancements to the buildings under Augustus, Trajan, Hadrian, and Caracalla. Visit the second-largest library in the Roman world after Alexandria, where parchment is said to have been invented. Discover significant sites such as the local Acropolis, the ruins of the royal palace, the original location of the Altar of Zeus, the temple of Athena, and an archaeological museum. After your exploration, indulge in a traditional Turkish lunch, including soup, salads, chicken, or meatballs, with a veggie option available.
