Selcuk (Ephesus)

The small Aegean town that inherited the afterlife of Ephesus, once one of the greatest cities of the classical world. Walk the marble streets and the great theatre of the ancient metropolis, then climb Ayasuluk hill to the basilica of Saint John, an Ottoman mosque, and the lone column that is all that survives of the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders. A whole ancient world in a day, on foot.
