Your Daily Pergamon City Tour will start with a pick-up from your hotel in Ayvalik. Ancient Pergamon was situated in modern-day Bergama, Izmir Province, Turkey, in the Anatolia region.

In 2014, Pergamon was added to the list of World Cultural Heritage sites. The settlement dates back to prehistoric times, specifically the 7th, 6th, and 5th centuries. The first-century BC author and philosopher Pliny the Elder described the ancient city as "the most famous and respected city of Asia Minor." Visitors can check out the enormous statues of the Roman Emperors Trajan and Hadrian as well as the Doric-style Temple of Athena. The Temple of Trajan also showcases appealing architectural details. Additionally, visitors can see the Library of Pergamon, the great theatre, the Altar of Zeus, one of the most famous theaters of the ancient world, the Red Basilica (also known as Serapis Temple), Asklepion, the Sanctuary of Asclepius, and more.

After the tour, we will visit an onyx and jewelry shop, where you can see traditional Turkish items. Then we'll return to Ayvalik and drop you off at your hotel in the afternoon.
