    We appreciated the chance to discover Pergamon, immersing ourselves in its fascinating history and impressive ruins. The drive from İzmir was enjoyable, but the guide could have shared more insights during the journey. Walking through the ancient amphitheater felt like stepping back in time, and we loved capturing photos of the stunning views from the top.

    We had an amazing time wandering the impressive ruins and marveling at the ancient amphitheater; it felt like stepping back in time. The only downside was the long drive from the city, but once we arrived, the rich history and stunning views made it all worthwhile.
