Cleaning the archaeological sites of Eretria and Amarynthos: Every spring, one of our tasks is to help clear vegetation in the monuments we excavated. This work supports visitor access and protects the sites from the risk of wildfires. An even bigger part of the archaeological site of Eretria has been cleaned by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Euboea.

Welcome to the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece

Since 1964, Swiss archaeologists have been exploring the ancient city of Eretria, on the island of Euboea. More recently, excavations near Amarynthos have led to the discovery of the Sanctuary of Artemis, the most renowned place of cult of the Eretrians.
The School also supports Swiss archaeological projects elsewhere in Greece and publishes its own Series.
