INFORMATION ABOUT SIRINCE VILLAGE
This pretty old Orthodox village, 12 km away from
Ephesus, was once Cirkince ("ugly").
Indeed its habitants gave this name on purpose as
they did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor
to share the beauty of their village. Still after
years, visitors understood that the village was
not ugly at all and called it Sirince
("pretty"). As the village is located on
the top of a mountain, anyone will enjoy the
impressive wine yards' and peach trees' views on
his way. All the narrow streets of the village
belong to the women, selling handcrafts of all
kinds, and olive oil. Another attraction of
Sirince is its wine: try its taste in small cafés
or in the wine stores on your walk up to the top.
Though Sirince is developing its tourism very
quickly, it has been able to preserve its
authenticity and the meaning of its name.

lunch, entrance fees)
