Embark on the Marvelous Pergamon and Asclepion Expedition from Kusadasi and Selcuk Hotels, a day-long excursion that takes you to two extraordinary ancient Turkish locations.
Your journey begins with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in either Kusadasi or Selcuk before you’re driven approximately 1.5 hours to reach Pergamon. Upon reaching the destination, you’ll set off on a guided stroll through the ancient metropolis, experiencing its key highlights including the Zeus Altar, the Theatre, the Library, the Athena Temple, and the Gymnasium.
Post the Pergamon sortie, your next stop will be the nearby Asclepion – an archaic wellness sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, the deity of health. Here we will elucidate the history of the site and tour the remnants of the therapeutic infrastructures like the Roman baths, Asclepius’ temple, and underground tunnels.
As the expedition concludes, we will transport you back to your lodging in Kusadasi or Selcuk.
