Camlik Locomotive Museum

This is Turkey’s largest railway museum, home to around 33 steam locomotives, as well as passenger and freight cars, vintage water towers, a turntable, and various rail tools. The collection spans engines built between the 1890s and the mid‑20th century, from countries like Germany, England, America, Sweden, and Czechoslovakia. Visitors often explore inside some of the engines, where plaques give technical details, and there’s even Atatürk’s personal rail carriage on display.

You’ll be walking on gravel paths and across old rail tracks, so wear sturdy shoes. Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat because while some areas are shaded by trees, others aren’t. Photography is encouraged, and the old locomotives make excellent subjects. The site is family‑friendly and especially enchanting for train enthusiasts and children. Take your time, there’s a lot to explore and quite a few hidden corners.

From Selçuk town center, the museum is about 7 km away in the Çamlık village. You can reach it by taxi or private car in around 10–15 minutes. Local minibuses (dolmuş) also connect Selçuk with Çamlık village. There is parking near the museum. Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the historic station building and the wide display area with the locomotives.
