Hidden gem
Şirince village + Ephesus
Hidden gem — Şirince is a 700-year-old Greek-Turkish hill village above the Aegean coast, famous for fruit wine, traditional houses and zero crowds. We combine a 90-minute Ephesus visit (the must-see) with 90 minutes in Şirince — wine tasting at a family winery, lunch optional. Local cottage industry, real Anatolian feel, away from the cruise tourist rush.
