We reach to Ephesus. Ephesus, was the second largest city in the Roman Empire over 250.000 people in the 1st BC. The House of Virgin Mary, is a place where according to the beliefs of many people Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her last years of her life. Sirince Village, this pretty old Greek orthodox village, 12 kms away from Ephesus, was once Cirkince (Ugly). After years, visitors understood that the village was not ugly at all and called it Sirince (Pretty). Temple of Artemis or Artemision, also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek Temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. It was located in Ephesus and it was one the seven wonders of the world. The Isabey Mosque, constructed in 1374 – 1375, is one of the oldest and most impressive works of architectural art remaining from the Anatolian Beyliks. In the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to Kusadasi. Stores to Visit: Carpet Village Leather Factory

Sirince Village Tour From Kusadasi & Selcuk

Sirince Village Tour From Kusadasi & Selcuk

3
Şirince is a beautiful hill town only 8 km (5 miles) east of Selçuk, near Ephesus, in the Aegean hinterland south of İzmir (map). It's famous for its olive oil, fruit wines, other natural products, and its atmospheric boutique hotels. A dozen small restaurants cater to day-trippers, hotel guests, and locals alike. Here are the sounds of Şirince: birds chirp, donkeys bray, goats baa, mourning doves coo, dogs bark, roosters crow, children play. A tractor passes. The call to prayer from the village's single minaret is a scratchy recording. Tourism has arrived, however, and on any pleasant weekend in the warm months, so will thousands of local and foreign visitors. Weekdays are not so crowded, but in any case, Şirince becomes a village again in early morning and evening, when the day-trippers are gone

Shore Excursions: Private Sirince Village & Basilica Of St. John Tour

Shore Excursions: Private Sirince Village & Basilica Of St. John Tour

If there is a place called heaven on earth, Sirince must be a part of paradise. Dido Sotiroyo, one of the famous Greek writer who was born in this village but had to leave at the age of seven after the exchange agreement in 1925, says these words about Sirince. Road to the village through olive and tangerine trees decorated with old Greek houses at the end of winding road and delicious scent of home made wine of grapes welcomes you as a surprise in the beginning of your journey. Despite a century of restoration, the once-great basilica built by Byzantine Emperor Justinian (r 527–565) remains a skeleton of its former self. Nonetheless, it is an atmospheric site with excellent views, and the best place in the area for a sunset photo.

Was a great tour! My only thing was the guide had a low speaking voice so hard to hear and the rug demo was a bit long and pushy. Other than that fully enjoy the old town and hot sand Turkish chai. As well as Ephesus was wondwrdul
