The morning light hits sun-worn marble as your small group crosses the ancient thoroughfare toward the Celsus Library. Dust lifts off the stones with each step; the theater’s tiers arc up the hillside like an amphitheater of memory. This private day tour opens at the port or hotel and carries travelers through Selçuk’s most storied ruins, then into the quieter lanes of Şirince village.
