About Ephesus
Sirince
SIRINCE,
This pretty old Orthodox village, 12 km
away from Ephesus and 30 km from Kusadasi, was
once Cirkince ("ugly"). Indeed its
habitants gave this name on purpose as they
did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor
to share the beauty of their village.
Still
after years, visitors understood that the
village was not ugly at all and called it
Sirince ("pretty"). As the village
is located on the top of a mountain, anyone
will enjoy the impressive wine yards' and
peach trees' views on his way.
Today
the village is a perfect synthesis of Turk-Greek
culture as of the 1920's : after the
Independence War, people exchange between
Greek and Turks has occurred and all those
typical Greek houses, though they kept their
original outside characteristics, have
received the local layout inside. The most
beautiful specimens are open to visitors. And
even in the courtyard of one of them, one will
discover a nicely restorated Orthodox church.
All
the narrow streets of the village belong to
the women, selling handcrafts of all kinds,
olive oil. Another attraction of Sirince is
its wine : try its taste in small cafés or in
the former municipal school restorated and
today the best restaurant of town "Artemis".
Though
Sirince is developing its tourism very quickly,
it has been able to preserve its authenticity
and the meaning of its name.
