Just 9 kilometres from the transport hub of Selcuk on Turkey’s Aegean coastline and situated close to the ancient city of Ephesus, Sirince - which means ‘pretty’ in Turkish - is one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations. With its dramatic mountainside setting and its famous vineyards and orchards, Sirince Village is a food and wine lover’s dream, playing host to thousands of visitors each weekend. The town’s unique (and legally protected) architecture - a sea of white buildings with red-tiled roofs - makes Sirince extremely photogenic, and it is a lovely place to walk around, full of narrow, twisting streets that lead visitors from shop to shop and cellar to cellar. If you need gifts for loved ones back home, the local wine, olives and handmade soap make excellent presents.
