A cute village whose vendors purvey products made by local artisans - Sirince is a picturesque village (located near Ephesus) has history dating back to Hellenistic period. It was originally settled by Greek slaves and bustling with tourists. Its municipal building now holds a museum that has a collection that’s local in nature as well as the Artemis Restaurant. There are stalls and buildings surrounding the main park selling local artisanal crafts and home-made food products such as preserves and syrups made from pomegranates and other fruits indigenous to the area. Grapes for wine are also grown in the valley below the village. One can either shop or relax at tables or in chairs scattered throughout the park and enjoy a cup of Chai.

Amazing experience - The tour was - in my opinion - the best of all we took in our stay in Kusadasi. A place with an unique charm that definetely has to be visited: the streets, the colors and the people make the visit an incredible experience. The guide Gül was the friendliest, who showed us the important points of the village. We enjoyed a lot making coffee in the typical way and tasting different wines. A lot of little stores with beautiful and typical things to buy.. shopping worth it!
The village is only 25 min away from the city.. so if you are looking for what to do in Kusadasi, Sirince has to be on the top of the list.
A big thank you to Gül, the best guide ever and the driver to bring us safely!

Special trip to beautiful Sirince - Nice trip to the very special and beautiful place with Guide Gul Demir ( the guide) and Turan ( the driver) who welcomed me very nice and made everything to feel me very comfortable and welcome! We made the original Turkish coffee, taste special local Turkish wine ( the best part of the trip), went to the museum and shopping is so good! A lot of local products (and not expensive) food and beautiful spots where you can see the village, really nice! The driver Turan is also very friendly and I felt me safe with these people, really nice time. I definitely would like to do this trip again.

Selcuk Market & Sirince Village - We started this trip at Selcuk Market. It’s a local market and they sell lots of clothes, fruit, veg, nuts and spices. We brought some sweet delicious strawberries today, as they were in season. After that, we went to Sirince. We brought some local black mulberry wine and also non-alcoholic grape juice with a touch of mustard. After trolling in Sirince we went to an place were they sell jewelery, specialised in Zultanite. It was a very nice trip, thanks to our tour guide named Filiz. She was very kind, such a sweetie, has lots of knowledge in the places we have been. On our way in the bus, she also gave us lots of information about the nature and surroundings in that area. We rarely do tours, but we highly recommend this company and tour!

Very Good - I had a very fun day with my girlfriend. The bus driver Kamal is a friendly guy. We had a very good tour guide Filiz that know a lot of things about Sirince Village. We went to a local market in Selcuk what i realy like. Filiz walk with you through the village and tells you a lot about the village. We also have some free time to walk and explore by our self. After the tour they bring you back at your hotel. I really recommend you to do the tour with Filiz and driver Kamal.
