Overview
Discover the ancient city of Sardis on a fascinating day trip from Izmir. Once the wealthy capital of the Lydian Kingdom, Sardis was also home to an important Jewish community and preserves one of the most remarkable ancient synagogues in western Anatolia.
Explore the impressive Bath-Gymnasium Complex, the ancient shops, and the beautifully decorated synagogue while learning about the city’s advanced engineering, including systems used to distribute thermal water and heat public buildings, baths, and private homes.
Continue to the Temple of Artemis, one of the largest Ionic temples of the ancient world, and admire the remains of its monumental columns. During the journey, enjoy a relaxing lunch stop near Salihli before returning to Izmir.
With entrance tickets, transportation, and professional guidance included, this tour offers an enriching combination of Lydian, Roman, Jewish, and religious history.
