Nisanyan Evleri Inn, Sirince

Nisanyan Evleri (the Nisanyan Houses) is the brainchild of Mr Sevan Nisanyan and his wife Müjde, who have created Sirince's—and one of Turkey's—finest places to stay.

Starting with an old house in a superb location at the very top of the village, they restored the house, modernized the services, landscaped the grounds, and produced a gem of an inn, worth going out of your way to experience.

In 2006, the Nisanyans (nee-SHAHN-yahn) added several rustic cottages above the main house, and near them, an exquisite swimming pool with views over the valley.

In fact, the Nisanyan Evleri has several different types of accommodations:

— The Inn, a restored Mediterranean village house with five rooms, all with private bathrooms. The excellent dining room with superb village and valley views is also in the Inn.

— The Ilyastepe Cottages, several charming rustic cottages on the hillside above the Inn, near the swimming pool.

— The Houses, several restored village houses rented by the day, complete with furnishings, a breakfast basket including fresh farm eggs, fresh-baked bread, and home-made country jam, daily housekeeping service, fireplaces and firewood, telephone, and central heating for chilly winter days.

Sirince (shee-REEN-jeh) is 7 km (4.3 miles) east of Selçuk and Ephesus, up in the hills, reached by a narrow, winding country road (about a 15- to 20-minute drive from Selçuk). Although there are public minibuses running between Sirince and Selçuk, it's certainly preferable to have your own car, especially as the Nisanyan Evleri is at the very top of this hillside village, a steep climb from the village center and main road.

Coming uphill and approaching the village, watch for signs and turn right onto an unpaved road just before entering the village (if you come to the Jandarma [gendarme] control point, you've missed the turn). Follow the narrow dirt track uphill, looking for the Nisanyan Evleri signs with the snail logo at several turns.
