   You will make the journey a little further out of town to visit the small Greek Village of Sirince. Once known as Cirkince or 'ugly', the inhabitants called it this in the hope of deterring others. It is now aptly name Sirince which means 'pleasant'.

You will be taken through the small cobblestone streets that are now lined with markets and locals selling their homemade goods.
