Some respite in Selcuk

The weather in Central Anatolia, was hot and we thought we'd get a bit of respite when we arrived closer to the Aegean Sea. Though we didn't choose to stay by the sea in Kusadasi instead choosing the more village like atmosphere of Selcuk, we though the weather here would be cooler. The fact is we felt like melting Popsicles not even having sent a 1/2 hour roaming the ancient ruins of Ephesus.

Mum and Dad chose to spent the next two days just relaxing in the house we rented overlooking the Church of St.John in the village. We could of done the same as we were all starting to feel a bit touristed out. We did forego our plans to visit Pamukkale and Hierapolis as it all got a bit too much. We only managed a visit to Ephesus and spent the rest of our time chilling out.

We could of spent more time in Selcuk as there are so many things to see in the surrounding area. We had space to spread out here staying in a 4 bedroom house over three levels with a swimming pool to cool off. We definitely will be back!
