A minivan tour from the port of Kusadasi travels through picturesque countryside dotted with vineyards and peach orchards. Visit Ephesus where your guide will take you on a downhill walk through the impressive ruins, highlighting the archeological treasures of this great city, considered to be one of Turkey's finest outdoor museums. Then travel to the lovely Sirince (she-RIN-jay) village. Visit the heart of the village to explore the wonderful local marketplace where handicrafts are sold and discover the Byzantine Church, which has been lovingly restored. A wine-tasting excursion affords the opportunity to sample the village's famous fruit wines and a lovely lunch in a private home is a uniquely personal experience hosted by friendly locals. Your meal ends with delicious Turkish coffee and a fortuneteller on hand to read your future in the remaining grounds. In Kusadasi, you have the option of browsing the bazaars and taking in a carpet-weaving demonstration.

Visitors to Sirince must negotiate uneven surfaces and many wooden steps. Dining rooms in traditional village houses occupy the second floor. This tour is not wheelchair accessible.
