Selçuk Hotels and Accommodation
Selçuk, located in the Izmir province of Turkey, is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the country, although many travelers use it only as a stopover on their way to the ancient city of Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary. Because of this, the old quarter of Selçuk has escaped the ravages of tourism and still remains largely undisturbed. The town, as well as its surrounding area, is dominated by Ayasoluk Hill, where several historical buildings grace its slopes, including the Isa Bey Mosque and the Grand Fortress. The 6th century basilica of St John the Apostle, which some believe to be built on the apostle’s tomb, is also inside the town. A fascinating mixture of various historical periods, Selçuk is a pretty and charming town with picturesque narrow streets and colorful bazaars. It offers good, clean accommodation at a number of hotels where visitors will be made to feel comfortable and welcome. EasyToBook.com offers some great deals at discount hotels in the town, combined with the ease of booking online.
A stay in the province of Izmir must surely include a visit to Ephesus, the greatest outdoor museum in Turkey and only a few kilometers away. This huge archaeological site includes the remains of the Library of Celsus, whose façade has been carefully reconstructed from its original pieces, the theatre, and the tomb and fountain of Pollio. Close to Ephesus is the House of the Virgin Mary, both a Christian and Muslim shrine. Many believe that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by Saint John, and that she lived there until her Assumption into Heaven. On a completely different note, a winter visit to Selçuk could include the annual camel wrestling championship, which takes place every January.
