Following Ephesus, we headed to the beautiful village of Sirince, known for its mountains, olives groves and vineyards.
The village was apparently settled by freed Greek slaves who named the village Çirkince (meaning "Ugly" in Turkish) to deter others from following suit. The name was changed to Şirince (meaning "Pleasant") in 1926 by the governor of Izmir Province.
