Step back in time with Mitamo Journeys as we explore one of Turkey’s most ancient and spiritual landmarks — the town of Selçuk in Izmir Province, filmed in stunning 4K during May 2025.

🏛️ The Basilica of St. John
Located on the slopes of Ayasuluk Hill, this magnificent basilica was constructed in the 6th century AD by Emperor Justinian I over the believed tomb of St. John the Apostle, one of the closest disciples of Jesus. As we walk among the ancient marble columns, arches, and preserved ruins, we ask: How have these structures survived for over 1400 years?

🏰 Selçuk Castle (Ayasuluk Fortress)
Towering above the basilica is the Selçuk Castle, offering sweeping views of the Aegean countryside and the town below. With its Byzantine and Ottoman layers, this hilltop fortress reveals centuries of history and defense strategy — from stone walls to hidden towers.

📍 Why Visit Selçuk in Izmir?
Selçuk is a historical gem just minutes away from world-famous Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis. It's a place where ancient history, early Christianity, and local Turkish culture meet. Whether you’re a history buff or a casual traveler, this site will leave you in awe.

🍴 Turkish Aegean Lifestyle & Local Foods
Throughout the tour, we capture the daily life of Selçuk — charming streets, warm locals, cozy cafes, and delicious Turkish food. Don’t miss out on Aegean delights like zeytinyağlılar (olive oil dishes), local cheeses, gözleme, and Turkish coffee.
