Trace the remains of the famous Library that held 200,000 scrolls, stand before the Temple of Athena and Temple of Trajan, and look out from the dramatic Hellenistic Theatre carved into the hillside.

    Troy & Pergamon Tour from Çanakkale to Kuşadası

    Around 8:30 AM, you'll be collected from your hotel in Çanakkale for a short 35-minute drive to the Museum of Troy. This striking modern museum displays artefacts excavated across the Troas region, giving real context to the archaeology and mythology that surround the legendary city. Because everyone moves through galleries at their own pace, this portion is self-guided; an audio guide can be hired at the entrance if you prefer extra commentary on the Ancient City of Troy and its excavated treasures.

    Around 10:30 AM, meet your guide and set off for Bergama, the modern town beside ancient Pergamon. After lunch at a local restaurant in Bergama, around 1:30 PM your guide leads the group on a fully guided tour of the Pergamon Acropolis, once one of the ancient world's great powers. Walk among the Library of Pergamon, which once held 200,000 scrolls, the Temple of Athena, the Temple of Trajan, the terraced Gymnasium, the lower Agora, the dramatic Hellenistic Theatre seating 10,000, the site of the Altar of Zeus, and the Temple of Dionysus. Around 5:30 PM the tour concludes and you continue toward the coast, reaching Selçuk by about 8:00 PM and arriving in Kuşadası shortly after.

FAQs

How long is this tour and where does it start and end?

This is a full-day tour of roughly 11 hours. It starts with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Çanakkale and ends in Kuşadası in the evening, making it ideal if you're traveling south along the coast.

Is hotel accommodation included?

No. The tour covers transportation, lunch, guiding, and entrance fees, but accommodation is not included. You should arrange your own hotel in Kuşadası or Selçuk for that night.

Is the Troy visit guided?

The Museum of Troy is explored at your own pace without a guide, since visitors move through museums differently. You can rent an audio guide at the entrance. Your professional guide then leads the fully guided Pergamon Acropolis tour.

What is included in the price?

Included are all transport in an air-conditioned non-smoking vehicle, lunch in Bergama, fully guided touring with a professional English-speaking guide, and entrance fees to the Ancient City of Troy, the Museum of Troy, and the Pergamon Acropolis.

How much walking is involved?

A fair amount. The Pergamon Acropolis sits on a hill with steps, terraces, and steep paths, and Troy involves walking over uneven ancient ground. Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.

Can I see the Altar of Zeus at Pergamon?

You'll visit the site where the Altar of Zeus once stood on the Acropolis, but the altar itself was relocated and is now displayed at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.

Is this a private or group tour?

This is a guided group tour, so you'll join fellow travelers and follow your guide together through the highlights of Troy and the Pergamon Acropolis.

What is the best time of year to take this tour?

Spring and autumn offer comfortable temperatures for exploring open archaeological sites. Summers can be hot at the exposed Acropolis, so sun protection and water are essential during those months.

How do I book and what are the payment terms?

The deposit or full-payment requirement, currency, balance due date and any disclosed payment-processing charge vary by booking and are stated on the current booking page and in the written confirmation before payment. Flight and bus tickets are issued only under the confirmed booking terms and, once issued, are non-refundable.

For requests received at least 5 days before the tour starts, the cost of all non-refundable flight and bus tickets will be deducted from your paid balance. For requests received less than 5 days before the tour starts, and for no-shows, the full amount paid is non-refundable.

Will I have free time for lunch?

Yes. Lunch is included at a local restaurant in Bergama before your guided Pergamon Acropolis tour, giving you a chance to rest and refuel midway through the day.
