2025 Bergama Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#familytravel We had our family trip to Turkiye, and one of the place we visited is the ancient ruins of Pergamon. Pergamon is a powerful ancient Greek city located at Aeolis, in modern day Bergama. The city flourished during the 400BC during the Hellenistic period, and it has been in a bustling state until the invasion of the Seljuks. Today, the upper Acropolis consists of several pillars which forms the original Traianeum, and the Pergamon Altar, is currently on display at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. There is also an amphitheater similar to other Greek ancient cities. The most interesting part is that this area is mentioned in the Bible as one of the seven churches in the books of Revelations.

#timetotravel My visit to the Ancient City of Pergamon in Turkey was nothing short of awe-inspiring. Perched atop a steep hill, the ruins of Pergamon offer a breathtaking panorama of history and nature. The Acropolis of Pergamon is a testament to the city's ancient glory. The grand theater, one of the steepest in the ancient world, left me speechless. Imagining the performances that once unfolded here was a vivid experience. The Altar of Zeus, now housed in Berlin's Pergamon Museum, once stood here, a symbol of Pergamon's artistic and cultural achievements. Wandering through the ancient streets, I marveled at the well-preserved remains of temples, libraries, and houses. The Asclepius Sanctuary, dedicated to the god of healing, was particularly impressive. Pergamon's rich history and its commanding position overlooking the plains make it a must-visit for history buffs and those seeking to immerse themselves in the grandeur of antiquity. #izmir #bergama #turkiye

The Acropolis of Pergamum (Pergamon) is the one of the oldest archaeological sites that you can not miss if you are in Bergama. The whole visit, including walking around and taking pictures should last between 2 to 3 hours. Most of the temple are basically ruins that has been partially reconstructed. It is more comfortable to visit this place in the morning or late afternoon as the weather is quite hot. There is a lot of walking and climbing to do if you want to properly explore the place. So plan ahead to dress comfortably specially good walking shoes and WATER! There are some souvenir and refreshment shops in case you need to do some shopping. #createwithtrip #turkey #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

The Temple of Asclepius (Asclepion) was built in the 4th century BC, dedicated to the god of medicine, Asclepius. During the Roman times, it became a medical center. The temple complex included the Sanctuary of Asclepius, a courtyard with a colonnade, a theater that could accommodate 3500 people, a ceremonial hall belonging to the Roman Emperor Hadrian, and on the south side of the Temple of Asclepius, there were three ancient Greek temples, bedrooms, springs and ponds. The Temple of Asclepius was known as 'a place where death is forbidden to enter', and the snake-shaped column, a symbol of medicine, stood next to the sacred road. Next to the sacred spring of the temple, there was an underground passage specifically for patients to avoid the heat and cold. Before becoming a court doctor, the famous medical scientist Galenos of the Roman times had been working in this temple.
