The Asclepieion of Pergamon was a renowned medical sanctuary where patients sought cures through dream therapy, baths, and rituals.

A highlight is the underground tunnel where patients slept, hoping for healing dreams. The site's peaceful setting and historical significance make it a fascinating stop.
