ACROPOLIS OF PERGAMON , ACKLEPION , AN ANCIENT GREEK AND ROMAN HEALING TEMPLE.

There are plenty of ruins scattered around Turkey. The Acropolis of pergamum is one of them, named after the Acropolis in Athens. From canakkale we travelled along the beautiful coastline of mediterrean turkey and finally reached to one of this impressive archaeological site.

This ancient site located on the top of the hill, where visitors can access through cable car. The video is here   These ruins on the top of the hill has such a lovely panorama and so scenic. I personally loved this place on the top of the hill.

The small market at the bottom of the hill near cable cars has many souvenirs shops. The local shopkeeper are so nice and among them one gave to me a Good luck charm as a first customer and one gifted me a beautiful bracelet but unfortunately i forget to take a picture with them 😐

 Another site is Acklepion, an ancient Greek and Roman healing temple also nearby..and House of Virgin Mary is also located nearby.

Turkey has many interesting sites including ancient Greek, Roman and Ottoman Empire. To enjoy fully and make trip comfortable and visiting all these places one have to book tour operator otherwise it would be extremely difficult to access all these places inside these areas of Turkey. These travel and tour operators take care of your conveyance, entrance tickets , restaurants and much more. The guides are experienced and very knowledgeable.
















While Ackepion is an ancient Greek Roman healing temple named after the God of Acklepion "The Greek God of medicine" . In ancient times people used to visit this temple for healing purposes both physical and spiritual one.
