Claros (Klaros) was an ancient Greek sanctuary near İzmir, dedicated to Apollo. Famous for its oracle, it was one of the most important prophecy centers of the ancient world—comparable to Delphi. Visitors came from across the Mediterranean to seek guidance from Apollo through sacred rituals performed by priests in an underground chamber. Today, Claros offers a peaceful archaeological site featuring a temple, sacred spring, and impressive columns.

Located on Ayasuluk Hill in Selçuk, the Basilica of St. John was built in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian over the believed burial site of St. John the Apostle. Once a grand domed structure rivalling the Hagia Sophia, the basilica was a major pilgrimage destination in the Byzantine era. Today, visitors can explore its remains — including elegant arches, column fragments, and the symbolic tomb of St. John — all set against panoramic views of Selçuk and the surrounding countryside. The site offers a powerful glimpse into early Christian history and the region’s spiritual legacy.
