The nearby town of Selcuk is dominated by a Byzantine citadel, close to which is the basilica of St. John, built in the 5th century on the site of the tomb of the apostle next to the basilica is the Isa Bey Mosque with its typical Seljuk portal. The archeological museum should not be missed. It houses an impressive collection of work recovered during the excavation of Ephesus. The nearby Turkish Bath museum built in the 16th century shows Turkish life at the hamam (bath).The Ephesus International Festival is held annually.Also, during the height of the seanson, world-famous artists and orcestras give performances.
