While planning a trip to Ephesus, I chose to stay four days in Sirince, above Selcuk. As stated by so many TA contributors, it can be crowded with tourists and some of its original charm may have been lost due to its current popularity. Having said that, I enjoyed my time there.
el tour privado de medio dia me vino como anillo al dedo ya que no tenia mucho por que tome un crusero desde mi pais a izmirna y fue toda una travesia me gusto mucho el coche era de lojo todo fue perfecto gracias a tods….
Este era un atractivo casi se me pasa, pero mi vuelo lo recomendó. Estoy tan contento de haber ido! La visita de las ruinas fue bastante espectacular y amplio, con una re-promulgación de los gladiadores al final de la excursión. Las ruinas fueron de cerca, no acordonada y la verdad es que se podían tocar!!! Yo estaba especialmente enamorado de la biblioteca ruinas no en todas partes se pueden tocar aca incluso nos piden que toquemos las ruinas por que dicen que se siente y entiende diferente, tambien quiero aprovechar de dar las gracias a todos que trabajaron para hacer este tour privado inolvidable. Tambien quiero recomendar este tour por que realmente aparte de ser comodo es muy economico ademas tambien existe la opcion de hacerlo a la manera que uno quiere puede cambiar las horas de entrada y salida a los museos o cambiarlas por la hora de almuerzo, no hay que olvidar que la comida turca es muy rica yo ya la habia probado antes pero no tanta variedad alla en turquia fue un descontrol 🙂 creo que subi mucho de peso pero la verad lo vale a concho, ademas de eso despues de la excurcion compre un libro de cocina turca y en castellano para seguir haciendolo en mi casa. como dije al principio gracias a todas las personas que hicieron posible esta magica visita a efeso….
After reading good reviews, we decided to take a day trip to Sirince, which is only an hour drive from Izmir. Although the village is nice, I felt overwhelmed by tourist attractions, shops and sellers everywhere. We heard that there would be a lot of wine houses. So we were especially looking forward to the wine tasting.
A beautiful mountain village set amongst acres of natural fruit trees. Production of various fruit wines which can be freely sampled at the various shops located within the village, bottles of wine for sale at very reasonable prices. The access roads are rather scary as tight narrow hair pin bends & sheer drops at either side of the steep, windy…
The tour of the ruins was quite spectacular and extensive, with a re-enactment of the gladiators at the end of the tour. The ruins were up-close, not roped off, and you could actually touch them! I was especially enamored with the library ruins.

Thank you Yesim for an incredible time. Your knowledge is most impressive. For anyone who reads this and is planning a trip to Turkey, you can not go wrong with using this company. We were never rushed or pressured into buying anything and even got to see a fashion show. This is something I never thought I would enjoy but it was pretty cool. When going to Ephesus do not miss out on the Terrace Houses they are most impressive and unbelievable. They are the homes of the very rich of the day with indoor hot and cold water, heated homes, indoor bathrooms and even a sauna with heated floors. The rug making tour was very cool, the lunch was awsome and got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Thanks
We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour.
