Cruise port to Sirince — wine, lunch, hilltop village
Sirince is the Greek-stone hilltop village 25 minutes from the Kusadasi cruise port — wine tastings (fruit wines and grape), white-house views, slow lunch. We get you there and back in time for all-aboard.
Sirince is the photogenic Greek-style hill village above Selçuk that locals visit for its fruit-wine tastings (peach, pomegranate, blackberry, melon — they make all of them) and the slow lunch culture at family konaks. From Kusadasi cruise port it's 45 minutes by road. We do a flat-rate round-trip: pickup at the gangway, drop at the village entrance car park, driver waits 3 hours free, brings you back.
Flat rate: sedan €40 (3 pax), van €60 (7 pax), minibus €85 (12 pax). Includes English-speaking driver, water in the car. Excludes wine tastings (€2–5 per tasting at the village shops) and lunch (€15–25 per person at the main konaks).
The sweet spot is a 4-hour shore call: 45 min drive each way leaves 2.5 hours in the village — enough for a tasting walk on the main street, a slow lunch with the church-and-house view, and the cobblestone market for olive oil + dried herbs souvenirs.
If you want Ephesus too (both are close), we do a combined 6-hour trip — Ephesus 2 hours + Sirince 2 hours + transfers — for €70 sedan / €90 van. Book via WhatsApp.
Frequently asked
What's the wine like? Is it actually good?
Mixed. The fruit wines are sweet — more like dessert wines than table wines — and locals make them family-style with varying quality. The grape wines (especially red) are surprisingly good for the price (€8–15 a bottle). Try 3–4 tastings before buying. Driver knows which 2 shops are the most reputable.
Are there toilets in the village?
Yes — there's a paid public toilet at the entrance car park (€0.50) and all the konak restaurants have customer toilets. Avoid the side alleys — there's nothing there.
Is Sirince stroller / wheelchair friendly?
Partially. The main street is cobblestone with a moderate uphill grade — manageable for a sturdy stroller but tough for a basic wheelchair. The konak restaurants are mostly upstairs. If accessibility is needed, choose Ephesus or stay in central Kusadasi.
