Sardis was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Lydia, ruled by King Croesus (560-546 BC). Later, it was an important Roman city.
Located 90 km (56 miles) east of Izmir, (map) Sardis (Sart in Turkish) is a large archeological site with lots to see. Guided tours are available from Izmir and Ephesus/Kusadasi.
The great Temple of Artemis was begun in 334 BC, reconfigured over the centuries in various acrhitectural styles, but never finished.
The 2nd-century AD Marble Court of the Hall of the Imperial Cult complex has been extensively restored, as has been the huge, rich Roman synagogue.
Sardis is a large site divided by the Izmir-Afyon highway, with the Marble Court and synagogue on the north side, and the Temple of Artemis about 1 km (6/10 mile) to the south, along with remnants of a Byzantine church, a late Roman villa.
The River Pactolus, now called the Gediz Nehri, passes along the western edge of the site. The ancient Lydians gathered gold dust from its waters by placing sheepskins in the water which collected the dust. According to legend, the gold came from the Phrygian King Midas who, cursed with the golden touch, washed in the Pactolus to rid himself of it. You can visit the site of the Lydians' gold refinery.
You can see Sardis on a day-trip from Izmir (90 km/56 miles, 1.5 hours), either by private car or by bus or, less conveniently, by train.
Catch any bus from Izmir headed for Salihli, the town just beyond Sardis, and ask to be let out at Sartmustafa. The train from Izmir's Basmane station is slower and less frequent, and arrives at the Sartmahmut station one km (6/10 mile) north of the highway.
The nearest hotels are in Salihli.
