They were constructed according to the Hippodamian plan, where streets intersect at right angles.

Its residents chose this name to deter outsiders and keep their village hidden. Over time, however, visitors discovered its true beauty and renamed it Sirince (“pretty”). Located atop a mountain, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of vineyards and peach trees along the way. Sirince is known for its wines made from various fruits like apples, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, peaches, melons, watermelons, cherries, and more.
