Lampsacus, Archaeological site near Lapseki, Turkey
The excavation area extends along the eastern coast of the Hellespont, containing remnants of ancient structures and harbor facilities from different periods.
Founded as a colony by Phocaea in 654 BC, Lampsacus developed into a major Greek city that minted its own coins during Alexander the Great's reign.
The archaeological findings reveal extensive trade networks through discovered artifacts, including silver objects and religious items from the Byzantine period.
Visitors can reach the site from Istanbul by taking a bus to Lapseki and following the marked path to the excavation area.
The Lampsacus Treasure, discovered in 1847, contains silver artifacts now distributed among museums in London, Paris, and Istanbul.
