We had a wonderful time and everything was a great.
Thanks so much for the great day, and we hope to see you again
We were surprised at how few tourists or their buses were there at this time. We stumbled on a wine bottling plant which allowed us to watch…
Sirince is a beautiful village up the mountains with breathtaking sceneries. If you visit in May-June, walking in the village is enjoyable. Mulberry tastes exquisite from the many trees in the village. Shopping is lovely, there are many homemade jams, crochets, soaps, souvenirs, shawls, fresh herbs and spices.
The Terrace Houses are amazing. Our guide gave us a very nice little gift bag with some very thoughtful souvenirs(this never happened with our cruise tours) and brochures of other destinations in Turkey that look wonderful too. Thank you
Seeing how people lived nearly 2,000 years ago and how they took advantage of what must have been considered ultra-modern science is fascinating. The housing units, while literally piled atop one another, are still separate and distinct.
a wonderful guide and a driver
fui a turquia dos veces y las dos fueron muy distintas la primera vez tome un tour de dia completo con esta misma agencia fue maravilloso pero dejenme decirles que esta segunda vez tuvimos que tomar uno de solo medio dia ya que fuimos con un crucero y dejenme decirles que la verdad no fue una gran diferencia ya que sea dia completo o medio dia la atencion el la misma los coches son iguales y los guias tambien tengan la seguridad que volvere por una tercera…
esperame turquia, efesoooo
While this village has been discovered by tour groups, most groups depart around 4 pm. In the late afternoon and evening wandering through the bazaar tasting the local wines and talking with the locals is wonderful. Great experience of life in a small Turkish village. Good prices on many items like dried fruits, nuts and spices.
These are the most spectacular ruins that we saw when visiting Turkey. If you visit the country and have limited time, these are the ruins that you should visit. There is a lot to see at these ruins and you should allow several hours. We thought that the entrance was awesome, however there were much better sights as we walked through the place.
