Selcuk

Ayasuluk Castle
Although the castle was built in Byzantine times, most of the remains are from the Selçuk and Ottoman period. The castle has two gates, one being a memorial gate on the west and the other on the south. The walls were fortified with fifteen towers. A large section of the wall has been restored.Legend has it that St. John wrote his gospel in one of these towers.The hill was defended by this well-fortified castle in the Early Christian, Byzantine, and Selçuk periods. The part of the wall still standing is from the Early Christian period and was restored in Selçuk times. The main gate in the wall was borrowed from Roman design and was built in the 6th century. Within the castle are a chapel and numerous cisterns. This old Byzantine church was later used as a cistern.
Since Selçuk is a small town, it is a simple thing to find one's way around using the map. The museum, the Tourism Information office, hospital, PTT, local government house, City Hall, pharmacies, bus terminal, and train station are all central. St. John's Church, the castle, Isabey Mosque and the Temple to Artemis are within a short walk. . At some distance are: Ephesus, 3 km, Mary's House, 9 km, Sirince village, 8 km, Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport, 60 km, Ephesus airstrip, 3 km, Çamlik Locomotive Museum, 7 km, and the Belevi Mausoleum, 14 km. Restaurants, as well as shopping for carpets, jewelry, and leather goods, are all near the town center.
Camlik Steam Train Museum
Camlik Open-Air Rail Museum The Museum is situated  around 10 km. from Selçuk and lies within boundries of Çamlýk village. It is situared in an area of 16 acre. Ataturk had his headquarters here and kept his special white train at this station during Aegean manoeuvres, controlling them by being in close proximity to the coast. The Museum which has  one of the largest steam engine collection in Europe displays 25  50-80 years-old- steam TCDD (Turkish Railway Company) locomotives.  
THE AQUEDUCTS One of the first attractions that can hardly be missed on the way in to Selcuk are the Aqueducts . These were built in the Byzantine period and their function was to deliver spring water from the hill to the east of the city, to the new settlement beginning on Ayasuluk Hill. The Ephesians had started to drift away from the city of Ephesus and those relocating on Ayasuluk obviously required amenities.  It is interesting to note that some of the stone used in the building of the Aqueducts was obviously stolen from the older ruins. This is most obvious in the carved marble blocks at the base of the structure.  I wonder which would have bemused the laborers building the water ways most; the fact that we are interested in looking at their water system, or that we are also curious about the buildings they destroyed to utilize the stone. If water works do not interest you, you will still enjoy watching the storks that nest in them.
