Selcuk
Selçuk
Selçuk is central town of Selçuk district,
İzmir Province in
Turkey, 18 km northeast of
Kuşadası, 3 km northeast of
Ephesus. Its name comes from the
Seljuk Turks who settled in the region by the 12th century.Selçuk is one of the most visited touristic destinations within Turkey, known for its closeness to the ancient city of
Ephesus,
House of the Virgin Mary and Seljukian works of art. The 6th century
basilica of
St. John the Apostle, which, some claim, is built on the site of the Apostle's tomb, is also inside the town. However with the vast majority of tourists only using Selçuk as a stopping point for Ephesus and not visiting the town itself, the old quarter of Selçuk remains generally undisturbed and undeveloped, retaining traditional Turkish culture and locality.

Selçuk
Selçuk ist eine
Kleinstadt in der westlichen
Türkei, 75 km südlich von
Izmir. Bis 1914 hieß der Ort Ayasoluk. Der Name Ayasoluk leitet sich von dem Namen der Johanneskirche (Hagios Theologus) ab. Aus nationalistischen Gründen, d.h. um den griechischen Ursprung des Ortes zu verschleiern, erfolgte unter den
Jungtürken die Umbenennung.
