Pick-up from your hotel and depart for Şirince Village.
Located just 12 km from Ephesus and 30 km from Kuşadası, Şirince is a charming village with a rich history and unique story. Originally named Çirkince (“Ugly” in Turkish) by freed Greek slaves who settled here, the village’s name was a clever trick to discourage others from discovering its hidden beauty. Over time, the name was changed to Şirince, meaning “Pretty,” which better reflects the village’s true character.
As the village is perched atop a hill, the journey offers picturesque views of vineyards, olive groves, and peach orchards.
Şirince is well-known for its homemade fruit wines, local olive oils, and organic produce. During your visit, enjoy strolling through cobbled streets lined with traditional houses, browsing local markets, and tasting regional delicacies.
The breathtaking natural setting and authentic village atmosphere make Şirince a must-see for culture and nature lovers alike.
