Selcuk

We got to Selcuk, found Garden Camping just below the citadel, and set up for a few days' rest. I took a number of walks into and around town, but we did not do any sightseeing in earnest for three restful days.

Selcuk has a well-known Saturday market, indeed one of the

largest weekly markets I have seen anywhere; produce

departments in groceries and supermarkets are relatively

small in Turkey; most Turks buy their produce at markets

such as this one where there are hundreds of vendors; of

course there are garment districts, hardware districts,

houseware districts, and on and on



Aquaduct ruins in Selcuk

It's a regional center but also a tourist town--with its own

major sites and Ephesus just a few kms away; also host, in

the winter, to Turkey's major camel-wrestling (camel vs.

camel) tournament

Cat in a bowl; not a small cat either

More local ruins, near the St. John Church

A small local amusement park

Everyone has satellite TV...

The citadel, currently undergoing restoration; the

campgound is right below it
