Sirince Village & Selcuk Bazaar Tour From Kusadasi
Description
Şirince is a beautiful hill town only 8 km (5 miles) east of Selçuk, near Ephesus, in the Aegean hinterland south of İzmir (map). It's famous for its olive oil, fruit wines, other natural products, and its atmospheric boutique hotels. A dozen small restaurants cater to day-trippers, hotel guests, and locals alike. Here are the sounds of Şirince: birds chirp, donkeys bray, goats baa, mourning doves coo, dogs bark, roosters crow, children play. A tractor passes. The call to prayer from the village's single minaret is a scratchy recording. Tourism has arrived, however, and on any pleasant weekend in the warm months, so will thousands of local and foreign visitors. Weekdays are not so crowded, but in any case, Şirince becomes a village again in early morning and evening, when the day-trippers are gone

Itinerary
This pretty old Greek orthodox village, 12 km away from Ephesus, was once Cirkince (Ugly). Indeed its habitants gave this name of purpose as they did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor to share the beauty of their village. Still after years, visitors undertsood that the village was not ugly at alland called it Sirince (Pretty). As the village is located on the top of mountain, anyone will enjoy the impressive wineyards and peach trees views on his way.

Loved this quaint little village and could have spent a lot longer there browsing the vast number of shops and stalls. Bought several things here at good prices. Enjoyed the wine tasting ( fruit wines) Look out for the “ice cream show”:where the guy hand you your ice cream on the end of a long metal pole….but the ice cream stays on the pole and you are left holding an empty cone! The ice cream was delicious by the way ….. after I at last got it!
We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit to our quaint village and had a great shopping experience! We are glad you found good prices on your purchases and that you enjoyed the fruit wine tasting. The ice cream show sounds like a fun experience, and we're happy to hear that you eventually got to enjoy your delicious ice cream. We hope to see you again soon! Best Regards Bergin Tours
