SELÇUK
Selçuk is a small town 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 known for its closeness to the ancient 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.
The annual camel wrestling competition takes place in Selçuk in the Winter, at the site of the ancient stadium at Ephesus.
