Discover the colossal ruins of the Basilica of St. John, built in the 6th century under Emperor Justinian I over the believed burial site of John the Apostle. Located on Ayasuluk Hill in the heart of Selçuk, this historic sanctuary was once one of the largest and most revered pilgrimage churches in the Byzantine world.

Stand on the grounds of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Located in the fertile plain just outside Selçuk and Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis (Artemision) was once a monumental marble sanctuary four times larger than the Parthenon in Athens. Dedicated to the Anatolian mother goddess of fertility and wild nature, this grand temple attracted pilgrims, merchants, and kings from across the Mediterranean before its eventual destruction. Today, visitors can stand among its historical foundations and admire the iconic solitary column pieced back together from original marble fragments.
