Sirince is what I had expected all over Turkey, small villages with old houses, small shops with local specialities (try the fruit wine, there are free degustations) and a few restaurants.
In fact, although nothing spectacular, it was one of our highlights in Kuzadasi region. Try the Turkish Pancake, Gozleme, its cheap and delicious.
my children and I had a great time thank you
our guide yesim efficiently guided us through the crowds making sure that our small group of 8 arrived before the larger buses thus allowing us to get the full experience. our lunch at the carpet school was both tasty and enlightening none of us actually understood the process of collecting silk or the painstaking job of making those beautiful works of art. We wish that we were there to purchase but not this time.
Excellent. Pick up on time. Selcuk our guide, very knowledgeable. Fabulous lunch. Well done.
I would definitely recommended, amazing
The Virgin Mary’s home was interesting, but the tour of Ephesus was fascinating and very memorable. Fortunately our tour contact suggested we also visit the Terrace Homes, another great experience. Our guides were personable and gave us great insight into that period of time. We had a lunch of Turkish favorite dishes in a beautiful outdoor setting.
So much of the area is preserved, and visible. The Terrace houses are amazing, with tiles and frescoes in situ.. must see..
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…
A private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
