Şirince

If you like wine and cute Aegean villages, Şirince has both of those things. Snug in the mountains and an easy bus ride outside of Selçuk, this tiny town is known throughout Turkey for its fruit wine. Şirince was originally a Greek village, so it differs from the architecture of much of Turkey and is super photogenic if you want to snap some pics for the Insta. It’s a super popular tourist spot for locals, with narrow, cobbled streets and little wine shops dotted all along it where you can sit and order a taster of the different fruit wines that are available. It’s a great way to spend an evening after a morning spent exploring castles.
