Klingan Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I was thinking about keeping you in the dark about my trip to Pergamon but then again, I'm sure that: 1: it would be so damn obvious which site is anyways 2: it would be much nicer to show you more than just one picture. I will update the album as I find the spare time. Under the temple of Asclepius! The sacred road to the sanctuary of Asclepius. And looking back towards the acropolis. You can actually see the theater and temple of Trajan up there! My link Sanctuary of Asclepius. Behind the temple of Trajan. Under the temple of Trajan. And the theater of course! I apologize for the fact that some of the pictures are slightly unsharp here, it has to do with how the site is compressing the files. :hammer:/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfClayton Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Stunning. Would love to know more about the logistics of how you got there, where you stopped, could it be combined with a trip to Ephesus, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfClayton Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 How were the overnight buses? Could you sleep on them? Did you use any particular websites for bus timetables or accomodation? I'm sort of planning a trip to Ephesus, so this is all useful info. Thanks.

Klingan Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 The over night buses weren't half bad actually. There was a near disaster incident (HUGE turkish man fell asleep next to me, started to lean towards my shoulder almost dropping his half eaten kebab on me) but I was saved by some company official. Other than that, I slept like a baby. Even better than flights in many ways. Now I don't know where you'll start from but I bought my tickets near Taksim square in Istanbul (and I can provide you with a map if you need one) and just rolled on after that, buying tickets as I needed one. No online messing around what so ever. Over night buses between Izmir and Istanbul normally leaves at between 10 and 11 pm. One warning though! Finding buses is no problem what so ever as soon as you get to a big central bus hub, but getting to and from that hub can be tricky. I ended up taking a cab.
