After the amphitheatre we walked to some of the lower parts of the site to see some of the construction including some really nice arches. We then made our way to the upper most parts to take in the views. It started to get quite hot and we were trying to drink water to stay hydrated but it was hard with the bright sun. We didn't mind because it was so interesting seeing the history in person.
We were having a bit of a long driving day but KT found a place to stop for lunch and explore the ancient city of Pergamon. It ended up being a fantastic stop as the ruins and location were absolutely spectacular. We of course had to stop to pat the kitties but then we really enjoyed exploring this very well preserved site. The view was so good and we were free to walk around the entire site. There were hardly any people there so we could really enjoy it. The amphitheatre was definitely one of the more spectacular parts of the site and it was incredible to see how steep it was. Watching a performance there would have been quite the experience, even now it would be amazing.
