CAN AKIN - A.AYDIN BAYKARA - ASLI OKTENER KOSE - SIRINCE

Şirince'de Seni Bekliyorum


Ben Şirince'ye vardığım gün
Aydınlanacak bütün yollarım
Dağılacak üzerimdeki kara bulutlar
Yeşerecek gönlümde
Yüz yıllardır uyuyan çiçekler.
Güneşi kalbimde
Yıldızları kucağımda taşıyacağım.
Yeni bir başlangıca
Ve yaşamın manasına
Şirince'de varacağım.
Yıldız tozlarının düştüğü yerde,
Şirince'de yeniden doğacağım
Söz verdiğimi gibi
Şirince'de Kırkınca Pansiyonda
Seni bekliyor olacağım.

Mr Can AKIN

This pretty old Orthodox village, 12 km away from Ephesus and 30 km from Kusadasi, was once Cirkince ("ugly"). Indeed its habitants gave this name on purpose as they did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor to share the beauty of their village.

Still after years, visitors understood that the village was not ugly at all and called it Sirince ("pretty"). As the village is located on the top of a mountain, anyone will enjoy the impressive wine yards' and peach trees' views on his way.

Today the village is a perfect synthesis of Turk-Greek culture as of the 1920's: after the Independence War, people exchange between Greek and Turks has occurred and all those typical Greek houses, though they kept their original outside characteristics, have received the local layout inside. The most beautiful specimens are open to visitors. And even in the courtyard of one of them, one will discover a nicely restorated Orthodox church.

All the narrow streets of the village belong to the women, selling handcrafts of all kinds, olive oil. Another attraction of Sirince is its wine: try its taste in small cafés or in the former municipal school restorated.

Though Sirince Village is developing its tourism very quickly, it has been able to preserve its authenticity and the meaning of its name.
