Tracing History in İzmir
On the western coast of Anatolia lies a site that has influenced the decisions of civilizations throughout history: Klaros. Nearly 3,000 years ago, people came here in search of guidance for the future.
Klaros Ancient Excavation Site
Klaros was not only an oracle center, but also an intellectual hub where leaders, thinkers, and artists of the time gathered.
Today, every artifact unearthed through excavations offers a new piece of knowledge and a fresh perspective on human history. Klaros is no longer just a silent witness of the past — it is a cultural landmark and a space of memory that sheds light on the future with the wisdom of Apollo.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Guided by the United Nations Sustainability Principles, Saya acts with an approach that considers not only today, but also the needs of tomorrow. Saya’s corporate social responsibility vision is rooted in building strong ties with society, honoring cultural heritage, and contributing to shared human values.
Sponsorship of Klaros Excavations
Saya’s main sponsorship of the ongoing archaeological excavations at Klaros reflects this vision of corporate social responsibility.
Saya views this project not merely as a sponsorship initiative, but as a reflection of its respect for the land — its history, its values, and its cultural heritage.
For Saya, this journey is not a return to the past, but a forward-looking path. Each column rising in Klaros is a symbol of commitment to humanity’s shared legacy.
From the Past to Today
With its motto “From Today to the Future,” Saya believes that the wisdom of the past can help shape the future. That’s why it supports Klaros — a site that goes far beyond an archaeological dig, and serves as an intellectual and cultural bridge between history and the future.
Among the silent stones of Klaros lie not only mythological tales, but also traces of human imagination, determination, and the desire to shape what lies ahead.
Saya Holding is proud to be part of this meaningful and long-term journey. We extend our gratitude to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, as well as to the institutions, scholars, and volunteers contributing to the rediscovery of Klaros’s ancient wisdom.
Operating in alignment with the United Nations Sustainability Principles, Saya’s support is grounded in a vision for a better future. We believe that by listening to the voices of the past, we can help write the story of tomorrow.
In this context, our aims include;
