During the afternoon, our tour continued into the quiet village of Sirince, that was originally inhabited by Ottoman Greeks and called it Çirkince, which means sort of ugly, in order to deter outsiders to come. During the exchange of populations following World War I, Turks from Greece were moved here and changed the name to Şirince, which means charming. Nowadays, it is just a quiet (maybe not do if all the visitors from the cruise ships come along) village that is famous of fruit wines it produces.
