Sirince was originally a Greek settlement before the population exchange between the two cultures transpired in 1923. Very little traces of the original heritage remained these days. It's a picturesque village nestled in the mountains. It's certainly a very popular destination judging by the numerous shops that lined the main streets catering to tourists and the busy thoroughfare packed with buses. It's a short drive from Selcuk but a car is a must if you choose to use Sirince as a base.
This was the last leg of our trip before heading back to Izmir to fly back to London.
Notice the original version of floral harem pants. They bear little resemblance to the Uniqlo harem pants I was wearing at the time!
