in the second century B.C.E. and equals Ephesus in importance. Pergamum
wasone of the Seven Churches of Revelation. Here we visit the Acropolis;
the library that rivaled Alexandria; and the Asclepion, a great medical
center that peaked under the celebrated physician Galen, who was born
here. We continue our drive through a pine nut forest and mountain
villages to Ayvalik, Overnight at Ayvalik.

scenery, then visit the Temple of Athena, in Assos. (Act -20)We continue

the most luxurious accommodations of the trip -- a hotel overlooking the
mountains where mythology tells us that Hera and Zeus married.
OCT
20, 2006 FRIDAY
IZNIK
Today our adventure takes us first to Troy. Several ancient cities have
been excavated here, but the site’s real romance comes from the
decade-long Trojan War, in the thirteenth century B.C.E. The face that
launched a thousand ships, the Achilles heel, the wooden horse -- all of
it happened here, in Homer’s telling of the war in the Iliad.
Our next stop will be Bursa, the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. We
will enjoy the Early Ottoman architecture and how they have contributed to
the Islamic art with their calligraphy and tiles.
