Visit to Acropolis at Pergamum and night in Kusadasi




Ruins of amphi-theather.











We departed early for a drive to Pergamum, this was a powerful kingdom during the Hellenistic period, where we visited a huge Acropolis. It was so steep it was like an IMax theater. The whole city is built on the top of a hill, special engineering was done to support the stadium. I was amazed by the work. To be honest I had never even heard of this place before this trip, it's amazing the ruins that are here in Turkey. Everyone should put Turkey at the top of their travel wish lists, it's beautiful and reasonable in price. The ruins are so awesome. The pictures of Pergamum are self explanatory. You judge.
