Private Pergamon Tour from Kuşadası

High above the modern town of Bergama, the remains of ancient Pergamon occupy a dramatic hillside overlooking the surrounding landscape.

The journey from Kuşadası takes you away from the familiar Aegean coastline and into another important chapter of Anatolian history.

Pergamon became a major Hellenistic center of culture and learning. Its history is connected with architecture, medicine, sculpture and one of the ancient world's famous libraries.

During your private visit, your licensed guide will introduce you to the archaeological remains and explain how Pergamon developed and why its location was so important.

The journey is longer than a visit to Ephesus, but the scale and setting of Pergamon make it a memorable destination for travelers with a particular interest in ancient history.
