Şirince village which was reportedly once called Cirkince (ugly) by locals who didn’t want to shara their beautiful village with out siders, sits on top of a mountain and continues to delight visitors today with its charm and beauty.

Famous for its fruit wineries and handicrafts, Şirince was a Greek village, prior to the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in the 1920s. Although the village is now inhabited by Turkish people, and the interiors of the buildings are now decorated in Turkish style, the outsides of the building have been preserved in Greek style. Although the village was settled in the 15 th century, most of what remains in the village today dates back to the 19th entury.
