Our Town
Nestled into a verdant valley on the cerulean sea called the Aegean,
a valley which has been home to an ebb and flow of civilizations
large and small over millenia, lies the present day Turkish town of
Selcuk.   Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, and Seljuk Turks
are just the most prominent of cultures to have inhabited this site,
clustered around the timeless hill of Ayasuluk and adjacent to the
ruins of Ephesus, the ancient capital of Asia Minor - Ephesus, named
for the warrior queen of the Amazons, the legendary women who
predated us all here.

Now a pleasant jumble of farmers and business people, tourists and
travelers, and a growing expatriate community relocating from
around the globe, Selcuk is a vital and real Turkish town where one
can see remnants of ancient wonders, sample fresh local produce,
eat a wide variety of delicious Turkish cuisine and shop at
hassle-free shops, such as our Bazaar Bayar.  Leave the congested
coastal tourist traps and visit us in Selcuk - and learn what true
Turkish hospitality and culture is all about.

About Us
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry,
laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each
other, we may even become friends."
