About

An archaeological exploration of the ancient city in the mountains of western Turkey

The Temple of Artemis at Sardis, 2022.

The guided tours at Sardis are an effort to tell the story of the site at Sardis for visitors in Turkey and around the world. More will be coming here soon.

Support the Sardis Expedition

You may contribute to the Expedition by visiting the secure Harvard Online Giving Form. Contributions will be directed to the Sardis Expedition. Or, you may contact us to inquire about other options.

The mission of the Sardis Expedition could not be fulfilled without the support of many interested and generous friends: the Supporters of Sardis. The Supporters of Sardis was founded by Prof. G.M.A. Hanfmann as a group of interested individuals and institutions who wish to promote the Sardis Expedition and its mission. This group makes possible our excavation seasons, research and study at Sardis, Harvard, and elsewhere, publication of the results of the expedition, conservation and protection of the site, development for visitors, and many other activities.

Supporters of Sardis receive the newsletters, invitations to the biannual lectures on the results of the Expedition (held in New York and Cambridge, and open to the public), and other information about the year’s activities. We welcome visits by the Supporters (and other interested people) to Sardis during the season; but please let us know ahead of time!
