The Ancient City of Smyrna
The mound on which Ancient Smyrna was first settled was a small peninsula in ancient times. The peninsula was linked to the mainland in the North.
The first systematic excavations in the ancient city were carried of by an English-Turkish joint team led by Prof.Dr. John M. Cook and Prof.Dr. Ekrem Akurgal between 1948 and 1951. Ord. Prof. Dr. Ekrem Akurgal continued the field works without interruption from 1966 to 1993. Excavations are still carried out under the direction of Prof.Dr. Meral Akurgal.
