Day Six. Kusadasi + Pergamon + Bergamo.

Today was another chill morning with the bus leaving at 8:30am. We headed for Pergamon, an ancient city literally on top of a mountain. When we got there, we drove through small alleyway type streets, almost reminding me of a small Mexican town. In order to get to the town, we had to take cable cars up to the top. Going up, there was an amazing view! The top was much like Ephasus with old ruins and columns lying around everywhere. The view from the top was incredible. Pergamon is home to the worlds steepest theatre, which was literally just on the side of the mountain. There was an awesome tree in the middle of the city and a headless statue!

We then headed on towards Bergamo, where we stayed the night. This hotel, albeit being in the middle of nowhere, had its own private beach and we directly opposite the Greek island of Lesbos which was nice to look at. There was really no nightlife there, so we chilled in someone's room trying to find an English tv channel and had an early night.
