The flag of Selçuk (photo) is white with the municipality's emblem.

The municipal emblem is an oblong rectangle with rounded-off edges. The blue border that inscribes the emblem is replaced in base by the writing "SELÇUK BELEDİYESİ" (Selçuk Municipality) in light blue letters. In the middle of the emblem is an orange globe, superimposed by a whitestatue outlined in blue. Behind the globe is shown the gable side of a temple with four columns, represented in white on an orange background. In chief is the writing "EFES" in orange letters forming a semi-circle. In base are 20 concentric blue arcs of a circle divided in four groups of five.
Efes is the Turkish name of the ancient Greek town of Ephesus, which played an important role in the early Roman Empire. The ruins of Ephesus, located on the municipal territory of Selçuk, are the main touristic attraction of the whole region and as such play an important economic role. The temple symbolizes the temple dedicated to Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the world in antiquity, today just a basement, mostly filled by water, and with just one column re-erected. The statue representing Artemis is shown in the local archaeological museum. The flag displays the version with "crown". The goddess was probably a local oriental goddess of fertility, which was subsequently transformed by the Greeks into a deity of their own. The arcs symbolize the amphitheatre of Ephesus, which has been almost completely restored.
