Discover Pergamon’s Royal City and Ancient Healing Center
Our Private Pergamon and Asclepion Tour from Kusadasi and Selcuk is designed for travelers who want to explore one of western Turkey’s most important archaeological regions in comfort. With your own professional guide and private vehicle, the journey offers a deeper historical experience beyond the standard Ephesus route.
The day combines the dramatic hilltop ruins of the Pergamon Acropolis, once the political and intellectual center of the Attalid Kingdom, with the renowned Asclepion, an ancient sanctuary dedicated to medicine and healing. Monumental temples, the famous library, the steep Hellenistic theatre, sacred springs and underground treatment passages reveal two very different sides of ancient Pergamon.

Private Pergamon & Asclepion Tour Itinerary
Hotel Pick-up from Kusadasi or Selcuk
Your private guide and driver will meet you at your hotel at approximately 9:00 AM. After a short introduction, depart in your private air-conditioned vehicle for the Pergamon region. The journey normally takes around two hours, with the exact timing depending on your hotel location and road conditions.
Pergamon Acropolis
Arrive at the hilltop Pergamon Acropolis, which became one of the leading political, cultural and intellectual centers of the Hellenistic world under the Attalid dynasty. Access to the upper city is generally arranged by cable car or another suitable local option according to operating conditions.
Explore the surviving remains of the Temple of Athena, the celebrated Library of Pergamon, the Temple of Trajan, the sacred area associated with the Great Altar, the Temple of Dionysus and other important structures while your guide explains the development of the ancient kingdom and its rivalry with other major centers of learning.
The Steep Theatre of Pergamon
Visit the remarkable Hellenistic theatre constructed against the steep western slope of the Acropolis. With seating for approximately 10,000 spectators and expansive views over the surrounding landscape, it is one of Pergamon’s most dramatic surviving monuments.
Lunch at a Local Restaurant

Walk through the remains of the Roman theatre, North and South Stoas, Temple of Asclepius, circular treatment building, healing spring, library and underground passageway.
