When you take a private tour to Selçuk, you will be amazed at the vibrancy of the city and the ancient ruins there are to see here.
It would not be wrong to say most people think of the ancient ruins of Ephesus when you mention Selçuk but that is unfair on this town as it has more to offer any tourist.
One of the pretty impressive sights to see as you approach Selçuk is the ancient fortress on Ayasoluk Hill that looks down over the town. It was this fortress that was built to protect the Basilica of Saint John.
The fortified walls are mainly from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods and within the fortress there are 15 towers and grand gates to the west and east of the fortress. There is much to see here and well worth a visit.
Another interesting thing about Selcuk is that there is a Roman aqueduct running all the way through the centre of the city. It is clear that this town is built on history!

For excellent sightseeing tours, it is well recommended to visit the little town of Sirince that is located around 8 kilometres ‘over’ Selçuk. We say ‘over ‘ because it is up in the mountains and the views to be seen on the journey there, is worth the trip alone.
Don’t be surprised to see more Storks here than most other places in the Turkey. Selçuk has become a favourite with storks as a nesting place. They have taken residence on the disused minaret of a mosque in ruins, on the one remaining column if the Artemision and the pillars of the Roman aqueduct during the months from April to September.
If you are really interested in sightseeing tours to such places like archaeological sites then from Mid March, through to early November are the best times. The intense sun is not beating down on your head as much, and this can be dangerous to some causing dehydration and sun stroke. It is also cheaper these months and the winter months. Flights and accommodation prices increase during June to August.
During peak season, the average amount of money needed per day for 3-star food, accommodation and excursions per person is about $225.00. It is a lot less during the off season. This is just a guideline, there are cheaper or more expensive hotels and restaurants, so how much you want to spend will all depend on your budget. To get around the town or go to other nearby towns or cities, the public transport is very cheap.
Research your destination thoroughly. Before entering Turkey, check if you will need a visa, if you do, these are easily attained online. Turkey has two major religious holidays during the year, and many places are closed. However as tourism is crucial here, most tourist attractions including Ephesus remain open, they are just extra busy. Wear flat shoes if going on a sightseeing tour to Sirince.
The weeks of July and August are the hottest in Turkey with temperatures rising above 33 degrees Celsius and virtually no rain. June and September have temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, April, May and October’s temperatures from 22-27 degrees Celsius. January, February, December are the coldest months with temperatures around 14 degrees Celsius and a good bit of rain.
