About This Issue

Issue VII of a travel magazine series from Türkiye. Above the town of Selçuk, a short drive from Ephesus, stand the ruins of the great church the emperor Justinian built over the traditional tomb of St John the Apostle, and the walls of Ayasuluk Castle. This issue walks the nave and the tomb, the baptistery and the carved monograms, climbs to the castle, and ends with evening in the town below.

24 pages of photographs taken on 16–17 October 2026, arranged hour by hour in the order we walked, with history drawn from the information panels at the site. Designed with a classical Greek-key motif throughout.
