Selcuk Hotels - Reviews and Rates

They in vite you into their shop. Offer you tea, and something in air ****s with your will power and before you know it your selling your house to afford elaborate beautiful Turkish art....and you say to yourself, 'its so cheap compared to back home', and 'when am i goin to come back'. Stupid tourists!!!

Kusadasi, Selcuk At last, we're in Turkey! After a short, sunny ferry crossing, we arrived in Kusadasi (Kushadasee), a sprawling modern city. We began walking toward the hotel referred to us by Costas in Samos, when a man pointed to the card David carried, saying, "That's my hotel!". It was Yusuf from the Anzac Golden Bed Hotel up the hill from ...

Well, it's been exactly four weeks since I left Denver. I'm heading tomorrow for the third country, seventh lodging (first apartment rented), seventh plane flight, and first subway, to count just a few things. I'm gallantly resisting the temptation to compare places and experiences, to say one place is "better" than another. That's really not th...

The big reason to come to Selcuk is to come to Epheses but the usual way to come to Ephesus is to come to Kusadasi - usually aboard a big cruise liner where you are disengorged along with 10,000 of your fellow travelers and make your way via buses to Ephesus for a day of ruins and a cheap lunch before re-boarding your boat an continuing on.  We...

my tour plan got swtiched around and i ended up seeing the ruins of priene, miletus and didem today. i'll see ephesus tomorrow, which i think is good, because these three ruins would probably have seemed pretty bad after seeing ephesus. the tour was good; we had a small group and a good guide. in their haydays the cities of priene and miletus we...

Took the night bus down to Selcuk to see the ruins of Ephesus a ruinded city of ancient Anatolia. After finding a nice little pension, which after we went in and asked the owner how much and took a look at the room, he almost started crying when we left, the price was right, but we just wanted to see another place, but we are both softies at hea...

After a long bus ride broken up by about 30 minutes on a ferry I arrived in Izmir an hour later than planned. Unfortunately this meant that I missed the last regularly scheduled bus to Selcuk, meaning I had to either wait ~5 hours for the next bus or pay $80 for a cab. I waited, finally arriving in Selcuk at 2am. When I eventually woke up that a...

Finally, the long-awaited day tour to Ephesus. There were supposed to be four Ephesus, the first Greek city was built in about 1000 BC. Ephesus used to be the chief port on the Aegean but like we learnt in real estate: location, location, location....as the harbour silted up, the city lost its location advantage and declined. I saw a lot of supe...

Amazing ruins, sweet markets and NICE people! Seriously, is everyone this kind? Oh, and by the way, Ephesus makes a cheap beer called "Efes" which is pretty much equivalent to the good ol' American Bud light, but of course we feel cooler taking a sip, since it is Turkish after all! During our 2 day stay, you would all be happy to know that we tr...
