SIRINCE
VILLAGE
This small village 7km through the hills from Selcuk is attractive for its setting among fruit
orchards, old-fashioned stone houses with red tiled roofs, and narrow streets. It is also
famous for its home-made wine, and lace made by the local women. Once known as Kirkince, the
village was built the Greeks around 800 years ago and since the population exchange in 1924 has
since been inhabited by Muslims from Salonica. The village has a few guest-houses and
restaurants, and is popular with foreign and Turkish tourists to experience a taste of
traditional village life in a peaceful environment. |
