Sirince VillageSirince Village, a pretty old Orthodox village 12 km from Ephesus, was once known as Cirkince (“ugly”). It is rumored to be named Ugly to keep foreigners away from this quaint village and keep its small-town charm. After many years, visitors discovered that the village was not ugly at all and called it Sirince (“pretty”). Today the village is a perfect fusion of Turk-Greek culture. After the Independence war, the two governments organized a population exchange between the Greeks and Turks. What was once a Greek settlement is now occupied by mainly Turks. The Greek Houses remain, though they have now received the local layout inside.

All the narrow streets of Sirince Village belong to the women, selling handcrafts of all kinds and olive oil. The main attraction to Sirince is the grape and fruit wine. It is famous all over Turkey and definitely to be tried at one of the small cafés or in the former municipal school that has now been restored

After the tour in Hierapolis, there will be a break in which you can spend your time swimming in the Ancient Pool(aka. Cleopatra Pool). Please note that swimming in the pool costs an extra fee. The Cleopatra Pool is warmed by hot springs and littered with underwater fragments of ancient marble columns. It is possibly associated with the Temple of Apollo. The pool provides a rare opportunity to swim among antiquities to visitors! During the Roman period, columned porticoes surrounded the pool; earthquakes toppled them into the water where they lie today. If you want you can walk to the natural warm water terraces which were formed by the hot water that contains calcium. The temperature of the water is about 35 degrees.

You can see the gleaming white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, located next to the ruins of Hierapolis. The extraordinary effect is created when water from the hot springs loses carbon dioxide as it flows down the slopes, leaving deposits of limestone. The layers of white calcium carbonate, built up in steps on the plateau, gave the site the name Pamukkale (cotton castle). After the tour, you will transfer to your Hotel to Pamukkale
