About this experience

Turkish cuisine can't be discussed without paying special attention to the Turkish breakfast. It's a truly unique start to the day, with a line-up of tastes all its own. Breakfast in Turkey isn't just a necessity; it's a traditional family gathering, a sit-down affair with a line-up of tastes all its own that you start looking forward to the night before.

First of all, this tour is self-guided. Sirince Village, this pretty old Greek orthodox village, 12 km away from Ephesus, was once Cirkince (Ugly). Indeed its habitants gave this name of 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 the mountain, anyone will enjoy the impressive wine yards and peach tree views on his way
