It was originally built by Greeks, but after the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in 1923, the village was settled by Turks from Thessalonica. Today, Sirince prospers through agriculture and tourism, with its locally produced olive oil, wine, and various fruit, as well as its well-preserved Ottoman Turkish architecture. As you wander through the village, you can't help but be struck by the beauty of its old wooden houses with their red-tiled roofs, a characteristic that adds to the village's distinct charm. The air in Sirince is fresh and crisp, and the restaurants offer fruit-flavored wines that are unique to the region.
