Turkey | The story of an ancient city spanning thousands of years

Selcuk is located in Izmir, Turkey. It is a small town that existed in the Byzantine period. It is the only place to go to Ephesus. Ephesus is a large city established by the ancient Greeks in Asia Minor. It is very prosperous. Selcuk is full of history, and the small town of Selcuk today is part of ancient Ephesus. The Old Town of Selcuk has remained largely untouched and undeveloped, preserving traditional Turkish culture and local character. This is a small town surrounded by mountains, with many climbing roads. Walk slowly in this ancient town in the afternoon, and when you are tired, drink a cup of Turkish black tea with nut snacks in a small shop by the roadside. This kind of lazy feeling is very comfortable. In addition to the ancient city of Ephesus, there are some interesting places to visit: The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus is considered one of the wonders of the ancient world. This is the ruins of the temple in the ancient city of Ephesus, Turkey. Now there is only one column built by archaeologists. Ayasoluk Castle is located on the north side of St. John's Church, on the top of Ayasoluk Mountain. It was originally built by the Byzantines in the sixth century and later rebuilt by the Seljuks. The part that survives today was built during the Ottoman Empire. You can climb to the top of the mountain to overlook the surrounding panorama. Shirinje Village, an ancient town with red tiles and white houses, is located in a ravine about 4 kilometers east of the small town of Selcuk like an idyllic place. If you have enough travel time, you can experience the Turkish countryside and appreciate the old Ottoman houses. Transportation: From other cities in Turkey, you can take a bus to Ephesus, or you can drive here, which is more convenient.
