Justin
The Temple of Artemis is a wonderful attraction in Selcuk. How often does one get to see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?!? It truly is must-see attraction in Selcuk. Although it is ruins today, it is quite easy to imagine what the vibrant temple looked like in its prime. It’s a quick, flat, and scenic walk from the bus station. Highly recommend!
Petru
The Temple of Artemis is impressive in its own way, and the fact that it’s free to visit is a nice bonus. It’s not as well signposted or advertised as other sites, but it’s absolutely something you shouldn’t miss. There isn’t much left standing today, but that single column — and the massive stones that make it up — really make you stop and think. Knowing there were once around 120 of these columns here, over 2,000 years ago, is genuinely awe-inspiring. Even in ruins, it’s a powerful place to see.

The Temple of Artemis, once located in Ephesus (modern-day Turkey), was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, renowned for its grand size and exquisite architecture. Dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis, the temple was rebuilt around 550 BCE and featured stunning marble pillars, intricate sculptures, and a massive altar. Though only ruins remain today, the temple's legacy endures as a symbol of both religious devotion and architectural ingenuity.

Excavations are going on but we are free to roam around most of the site. No improved surfaces so be careful if you are mobility-impaired. It's best if you read up first before visiting because there's not much for a novice archaeology tourist to work with. But you do get an idea of the size of the temple that is hard to distinguish when viewing from St John's basilica or from the highway.

Also known as Temple of Diana is Greek . Large site and can be seen from near the car park. Excavations still going on. It was most magnificent and largest building in Greek world - a wonder of the Ancient World with massive size and huge columns. Nearby parking available. Walking on gravel access road not easy for some. No entry fees. If lucky you can see Storks nest on top of columns, blooming shrubs. Need hat, comfy shoes, water.
