Turkey | A story of an old city spanning a millennium

| A story of an old city spanning a millennium. Selcuk is located in Izmir, Turkey, a small town that existed during the Byzantine period and is a must-visit place on the way to Ephesus. Ephesus was a large city established by the ancient Greeks in Asia Minor and was very prosperous. Selcuk is full of history, and today's Selcuk town is part of ancient Ephesus. The old town of Selcuk is roughly preserved in its original state, undeveloped, retaining traditional Turkish culture and local characteristics. This is a small town on the hillside with many uphill roads. Walking slowly in this ancient town in the afternoon, when tired, you can drink a cup of Turkish black tea in a small shop by the road, with nut snacks, this lazy feeling is very comfortable. In addition to the ancient city of Ephesus, there are some interesting places to visit: The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus is considered one of the wonders of the ancient world. This is the temple ruins in the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey, and now only a column piled up by archaeologists remains. Sirince Village, this ancient town with red tiles and white houses is like a pastoral poem located about 4 kilometers east of Selcuk town in the mountain ditch. If you have enough travel time, experience the Turkish countryside and appreciate the old Ottoman houses. Transportation: You can take a bus from other cities in Turkey to Ephesus, or you can drive here, which is more convenient.
