To get in, you can either take the train, which is slower but more economical, or the bus (dolmuç). In the otogar, which is located in the center of the village, you can easily go to Izmir, Pamukkale and other places of Turkey.

Get around

There are mini-buses (servis) to Sirince and Ephesus. To go to the House of Mary you may need to take a taxi .

Rented motorbikes can be a funny way to discover the surroundings of Selcuk. If you rent a bike note that both Sirince and the House of Mary are up in the hills.
