Highlights
High above modern Bergama, ancient Pergamon preserves the remains of one of the ancient world’s leading cultural, political, and medical centers. This full-day small-group tour from Izmir explores the region’s Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine heritage. Travel to Bergama in an air-conditioned vehicle. Your guide meets you at your Izmir hotel, accompanies you throughout the tour, and returns you to your hotel at the end of the day. Visit the UNESCO-listed Acropolis, where monumental ruins reflect Pergamon’s importance as a center of government, culture, religion, and learning. Continue to the Asklepion, its renowned ancient healing center, and learn about the medical traditions and therapeutic practices of antiquity. Lunch is included and, depending on daily arrangements, may be served at a local carpet workshop or a restaurant in Bergama. Time may also be available for photographs, local craftsmanship, and selected shopping before returning to Izmir.

We had a wonderful experience with this tour, led by our guide Erman. He is so deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and with such an engaging storytelling style that listening to him is a real pleasure. He gave us a deep understanding of the sites we visited, always placing them within their broader historical context and drawing connections to the modern world. The tour was extremely well organized, from pickup to drop off, and the time spent in each location was perfect. Special thanks also to our kind and skilled driver. We have learnt a lot and had a great time.

About İzmir
İzmir is Turkey's third-largest city, an Aegean port with an old bazaar, a seafront promenade and the ancient ruins of Ephesus and Pergamon within reach.
İzmir, known to the ancient Greeks as Smyrna, lies at the head of a deep gulf on the Aegean coast. Konak Square has an ornate clock tower from 1901 and the small Konak Mosque, and the Kemeraltı bazaar sprawls behind it with workshops, mosques and old caravanserais. The Asansör, a historic lift in the Karataş district, rises to a terrace overlooking the gulf, and a long promenade, the Kordon, runs beside the water.
Top-ranked sights in İzmir: Pergamon (Pergamum), Sardis (Sart), Bergama Asklepion (Pergamon Asclepeion).
