Hi John, In Selçuk, I can highly recommend Homeros Pension. The family is very nice, there is a pleasant rooftop terrace, the place is spotlessly clean and I had no trouble parking the car on the quiet street right in front. 2 nights, IMO, is minimum, you do need more than a day to catch it all in: Mary's house, Ephesus, the great little museum in town, the Tomb of St John & Basilica, the Isa Bey Mosque, and the very pleasant town of Sirince nearby (where we had a great lazy lunch and a very pleasant afternoon - very good shopping!). There is a little square in front of the museum that has a tea house by the pond/fountain - it was great for people watching and we stopped there each afternoon for borek and tea. Selçuk was one of my favorites stops in Turkey - we added a night to our original two. Also a good place to try a real Turkish bath, with a women-only day. Good place to see storks nests & storks too.
