The next day we visited Pergamon (we had seen the Pergamon Altar in Berlin). It is an acropolis way up on a hilltop. We took a gondola part way up. Wonder how the builders got the marble slabs up so high???
Last night we had a delicious dinner at our last Turkish CG; we sat outdoors by the sea; fortunately under a roof because it rained quite heavily. Today we visited Troy. It was hard to visualize the city there because it had been rebuilt time after time on 9 different levels. Someone donated a large wooden horse in the 1990s and it was on prominent display.
After that we crossed the Dardanelles by ferryboat; this carried us from Asian Turkey to European Turkey. Another 50 kilometers or so and we crossed the border into Greece. We are again at a CG on the seacoast.
