Nice experience! - The driver, Adam, picked us up at the hotel on time.
The guide, Erdem, was very relaxed and funny. He spoke English and Dutch. He told us a lot of interesting facts about the town and the shops we went to.
He showed us lovely shops and didn't push us to buy something.
Very pleased with this trip!

Beautiful hilltop village and bustling town bazaar combination make this a great trip for all ages. - We were picked up by our guide and driver spot on time, in a modern air conditioned minibus vehicle.
We were the only two travellers that day so were privileged to have a personal tour with Eren Tozlu, our guide which was interesting and great fun.
Sirince is a beautiful village with steep streets, which were a bit of a challenge for my husband - but our guide kindly made sure he rested as necessary and arranged a Turkish coffee experience for us, where the coffee was brewed in hot sand which was brilliant. We also had a wine tasting of the locally produced fruit wines.
It was then back in the minibus to Selcuk where we visited the weekly bazaar - a huge Saturday market for locals, plus a few tourists, where we engaged in a little good humoured bartering/bargaining for a few well priced souvenirs.
There was a great selection of items to buy from traditional tools, cooking equipment and towels to clothing, inexpensive jewellery, and pottery plus wonderful spices, herbal teas and fresh fruit and vegetables. So worth a visit if you are looking for goods or souvenirs at better prices than the Kusadasi shops.
We were then returned to our hotel having spent an interesting, enjoyable and very different day out.

A cute village whose vendors purvey products made by local artisans - Sirince is a picturesque village (located near Ephesus) has history dating back to Hellenistic period. It was originally settled by Greek slaves and bustling with tourists. Its municipal building now holds a museum that has a collection that’s local in nature as well as the Artemis Restaurant. There are stalls and buildings surrounding the main park selling local artisanal crafts and home-made food products such as preserves and syrups made from pomegranates and other fruits indigenous to the area. Grapes for wine are also grown in the valley below the village. One can either shop or relax at tables or in chairs scattered throughout the park and enjoy a cup of Chai.

Amazing experience - The tour was - in my opinion - the best of all we took in our stay in Kusadasi. A place with an unique charm that definetely has to be visited: the streets, the colors and the people make the visit an incredible experience. The guide Gül was the friendliest, who showed us the important points of the village. We enjoyed a lot making coffee in the typical way and tasting different wines. A lot of little stores with beautiful and typical things to buy.. shopping worth it!
The village is only 25 min away from the city.. so if you are looking for what to do in Kusadasi, Sirince has to be on the top of the list.
A big thank you to Gül, the best guide ever and the driver to bring us safely!

Special trip to beautiful Sirince - Nice trip to the very special and beautiful place with Guide Gul Demir ( the guide) and Turan ( the driver) who welcomed me very nice and made everything to feel me very comfortable and welcome! We made the original Turkish coffee, taste special local Turkish wine ( the best part of the trip), went to the museum and shopping is so good! A lot of local products (and not expensive) food and beautiful spots where you can see the village, really nice! The driver Turan is also very friendly and I felt me safe with these people, really nice time. I definitely would like to do this trip again.

Selcuk Market & Sirince Village - We started this trip at Selcuk Market. It’s a local market and they sell lots of clothes, fruit, veg, nuts and spices. We brought some sweet delicious strawberries today, as they were in season. After that, we went to Sirince. We brought some local black mulberry wine and also non-alcoholic grape juice with a touch of mustard. After trolling in Sirince we went to an place were they sell jewelery, specialised in Zultanite. It was a very nice trip, thanks to our tour guide named Filiz. She was very kind, such a sweetie, has lots of knowledge in the places we have been. On our way in the bus, she also gave us lots of information about the nature and surroundings in that area. We rarely do tours, but we highly recommend this company and tour!

We went to a local market in Selcuk what i realy like. Filiz walk with you through the village and tells you a lot about the village. We also have some free time to walk and explore by our self. After the tour they bring you back at your hotel. I really recommend you to do the tour with Filiz and driver Kamal.
