We found Sirince to be a lovely, rustic village that simply exudes charm. We stayed two nights in the guesthouse. It is in the lower village near the market and provides arresting views of the village sweeping up the mountainside. Everyone in the village was very friendly..
we had a great time at ephesus. lovely day 🙂
Completely silent and peaceful.
It is really worth seeing. Restroom facilities at the entry are limited and very crowded. There are also restrooms near the exit and they are not crowded.
Our guide sat and chatted with us the entire way to Ephesus about Turkish history, lifestyle, and some chitchat. At Ephesus she gave as a solid, amazing tour.
We Just Wanted To Let You Know We Had A Wonderful Time. Ephesus Was Amazing !
Our group of 6 adults added this village to our day-long tour of Ephesus – and we're glad we did! It is a beautiful ride up the mountain to visit this lush Turk-Greek town. The small streets are lined with stand of families or small businesses selling a variety of wines, olive oil and products.
A private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful, clean city!
Our guide was a great guide full of historical knowledge as well as answering questions about the land and people.
I especially liked the little village Sirence that we visited. The people were so friendly and the village gave us the opportunity to purchase gifts to take home that were handmade.
It feels a little displaced as a town, but considering it was created for Turks who were forcibly repatriated in the 1920s, they've made a good go of it. Quaint and lovely. Quiet at night.
