Selçuk (pronounced sel-tshouk) is a city in the west of Turkey. Located nearby are the Unesco-heritage ruins of Efesus/Ephesos/Efes, an ancient Greek settlement. Popular as a tourist destination, Selçuk has several hotels, but also boasts a few friendly hostels.
Hitching out
North/East towards Izmir/Konya
Walk to the north of town and start hitching on a patch of calm road. After about 10 minutes, you'll reach a big highway. Head left(west) for Izmir, or right(east) for Konya, Pamukkale and Kappadokya.
Accommodation and Sleep
There's several cheap hostels. You can also camp outside of town, in the nearby hills and mountains. Be mindful of snakes though.
