4 Best Hotels in Selçuk, The Central and Southern Aegean Coast

This friendly, cozy spot by the Ephesus Museum is popular with budget travelers and families, and offers a rooftop terrace and shady garden along with simple but tidy rooms. The service and location get high marks. The courtyard restaurant is open to the public as well as guests. 

The old gate opens to reveal a charming small courtyard where on the terrace, and above along the shared veranda of the restored building, are the twelve clean, comfortable rooms—each beautifully decorated with an Ottoman flourish and ornaments. Views over the plain behind Selçuk can be enjoyed by guests coming upstairs, while the courtyard is the place for breakfast and relaxed drinks. In cool weather, meals and drinks move indoors to the lounge decorated with more items from the hosts, Erdal and Nazmi's shop around the corner in front of St. John Basilica. Short walks also lead to the museum, shops, and restaurants in the old town and transport points.

This tiny family-run hotel charms visitors with its plush rooms, intimate atmosphere, and helpful staff. Each of the seven rooms is named after a different Greek god or goddess, and each has its own distinct characteristics: sloped wooden ceilings in the upstairs room, a hammam-style bathroom in the garden-side family room, a marble Jacuzzi tub and fireplace in the honeymoon suite. Breakfast features homemade jams and local olives.
