Sardis Tour

Discover the ancient capital of the Lydian Empire on this immersive tour of Sardis, a city of legendary wealth and one of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor where an early Christian community once gathered in the name of St. John. Walk among the ruins of the sacred temples of Cybele and Diana, where a magnificent fourth century Basilica was later added, reflecting the region’s transformation from pagan worship to early Christianity. Stand beside the legendary golden River Pactolus, whose sands were said to have fuelled the fortune of King Croesus, and trace a surviving section of the Royal Road, the great highway that once connected Sardis to the heart of Persia. Marvel at the beautifully reconstructed synagogue, the largest ancient synagogue discovered in the diaspora, and the adjacent Roman gymnasium with its soaring marble facade and intricate mosaics. After a morning of discovery, you will enjoy a delicious traditional Turkish lunch before a relaxing return drive to Izmir.
