Bergama, Pergamon, potato-potata
... Andrew, consulting a map, reckoned he could weave a path up the back way to the Acropolis which would save us a longer walk via the main roads. We wound our way through the backstreets of the little town, ignoring the occasional bad smell and saying 'hello’ to some of the little children who shyly poked their heads through the gate to say ‘hello, what’s your name’.

Day 29 - the ruins at Pergemum and a night in Foca
... hot water because they hadn’t turned the hot water on for floor two. In the end we asked for, and got a discount. The beds were uncomfortable, and the AC rattled loudly, and had a broken blade that prevented the air from swinging. The views from our balcony were outstanding though, overlooking Foca Bay and I guess this is what they count on. I would not stay here ...
