Questions about this route
Can the car go up to the Acropolis?
Because visiting and access conditions can change, we recommend checking current information from official sources; we build the programme accordingly.
Can Bergama and Foça fit into the same day?
It is possible, but it makes for a long day. For a more relaxed pace we suggest separate days.
