Wednesday 4th July
Another cultural interlude took place in the form of a visit to ancient Pergamon from the port of Dikili. We took the dolmus inland 25km to see the ruins. Pergamon has a truly magnificent location, rivalling that of Delphi but the ruins are so complex and the city was important for such a long period that everything overlays. The amphitheatre is supposed to be one of the steapest and it certainly feels like you could fall down from the top to the bottom.
Highlights of the site for us were the massive vaulting under one of the main temples and mosaic floors in the Roman baths
