One day left in Selcuk and considering Bergama
 
We have one day left in Selcuk, after having visited the Ephesus site today. We were considering visiting Pergamon tomorrow but wondered:

1) Whether a 70+ year old can cope with visiting the site given its steepness etc
2) What the best way to visit the site is, given that we don't have a car, and need to be back in Selcuk that night, where our hotel is.

(We were told by our hotel that a taxi for the day would be €260, which is something we would not even consider).

Thanks for your advice.

In Selçuk proper there is the Isa Bey mosque


and the St. John Basilica ruins


Selçuk also has a museum exhibiting items found in Ephesus


Fodor's Turkey guidebook mentions Șirince (5 mi. east of Selçuk) as worthy of a visit.
