I'm planning to go back to Ephesus ,Turkey. As I searched the web, I found the Terrace Houses in Sirince had appeared on the internet. It brought back a flood of memories. Climbing the hill in the mini-bus from Selcuk to find myself in the cool of a village square: being taken, on foot, through narrow streets, to a low roofed, white-painted sirince house with shuttered windows: waking to sunshine slicing the shadows and the sound of donkeys braying: breakfast in the garden with bread from the baker who forgave my attempt at Turkish with a smile and a friendly shrug. Ephesus was a hot 20 minute taxi-ride away. But what a spectacle! And how pleasant to retreat up the hill in the cool of the evening: to drink local wine in a Şirince restaurant overlooking the darkening streets of an almost traffic free town, awash with a sense of the past lazytravelerOxford, Oxford, UK Feb 26, 2007 |

THE STORY OF TERRACE HOUSES
Sirince Terrace Houses is a family run enterprise consisting of 3 heritage cottages overlooking the magnificent valley of Sirince, in other words, Ephesus on the hills . Olive House, Fig House and Grapevine House all have their own distinctive character and were lovingly restored over 6 years. Our visitors come from all over the world to enjoy these fully furnished homes full of rustic antiques from around Turkey. Each house has a wood burning fireplace, luxurious bathroom, comfortable furnishings, a well equipped kitchen and large double beds. Music, filter coffee and a selection of teas are provided to make you feel at home right from the start and we supply our own organic olive oil for you to use in the kitchen. In the summer you can enjoy candlelit dinners under the sky in Terrace Café with unmatched views across the village to the hills beyond. In the winter you will be greeted by a fire and the cottages make an ideal romantic weekend break. Sirince Ephesus Houses are a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding hillside providing endless walks as well as being ideally placed for guests to visit the many historic sites in the area.
