We start the tour by visiting Asclepium Healing Center (theatre, Crypto porticus, sacred fountain and pool, cure building. We spend some 1 hour looking around and photos).
- Then, we drive upon Acropolis and visit heroon, city walls, palaces of the king's, the Library (2nd biggest library in the ancient world), Trajan Temple, theatre, Zeus Altar (biggest of the ancient times) and Temple of Athena (Here is like Athens Acropolis). Steep up and down but very fascinating to take photos. About 1, 5 hours are spent here walking and exploring the structures and buildings.
The town is a very famous handicraft centre that presents you handwoven rugs, kilims and stonearts. Plus some local foods are subject to taste. Here is modern Bergama and ancient cultures' harmony.
