Selçuk
Selçuk, a town on Turkey's Aegean coast in İzmir Province, sits within easy reach of the ancient city of Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The 6th-century Basilica of St. John the Apostle stands within the town itself, and the House of the Virgin Mary is nearby. A walkable centre with cafés and restaurants makes it a practical and historically rich base for the wider region.
