Sirince lacked the huge tourist crowds we experienced on our cruise. We visited Ephesus and then had a nice relaxing lunch in Sirince. They had a market area with friendly vendors, quite content to say hi and let you peruse the goods.
This is a true Turkish mountain town that is full of history. While we were there, the town was preparing for a wedding later that night. There are merchants, and little places to eat, mixed in with small bed and breakfast like hotels. The streets are cobblestone, and the hills are steep. You will see tablefuls of Turkish men, enjoying…
We did a private tour of Ephesus, The Terrace Houses and Sirince Vilalge and it was an amazing day and the views in Sirince were great. We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. The private tour was by far one of the best we have ever had, and was comparable to the larger ship tours.
I have never had a better tour guide than Selcuk Senkan. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable.
We would definitely recommend this private tour

We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour.
One of the highlights of our 10 day cruise was a trip to Ephesus and Sirince. This is a lovely little mountain village in Turkey where people go about their business and are willing to welcome visitors without any pretensions, commercial tourism or pushy sales tactics. Wonderful little old town square with coffee places, shops and bistros.
