Selçuk, The Basilica of St John and the İsa Bey Camii

We stayed on the outskirts of Şirince, which by day is taken over by tourists as it is a picture postcard village, looking very much like a Tuscan village. It is also close to Ephesus and Selçuk. The best view was from our hotel just above the village.

Selçuk has the ruins of the very large Basilica of St John which is next to a 14th Century mosque (Camii) and 6th Century citadel. The town has the remains of a Byzantine aqueduct which now provides perfect nesting spots for storks.
