Kirkinca Houses & Boutique Hotel

Kırkınca, as Kirkinca Houses & Boutique Hotel calls itself, offers two ways to stay in Şirince. In the village, ten rooms in stone-and-wood houses in the heart of the lanes; in the hills, six mountain cottages with a pool. The same family, the Gülgüns, has run the place since 1999. Come to experience Şirince at your own pace, twenty minutes from Ephesus.

A family story

The family's story in Şirince goes back to the population exchange between Greece and Turkey: its roots are in Thessaloniki. Welcoming guests began in 1999 and grew into a family business. The Gülgüns present hospitality as a family tradition.

Two ways to stay

In the village: ten rooms. Each has its own character and story, between stone walls and wooden ceilings: Zakkum, Gül, Kemerli, Taş, Sedir, Defne, Lale, Dilek, Ceviz and the Morsalkım house. The Zakkum room, for example, sleeps three adults, with a double and a single bed, and looks over the village.

In the hills: six cottages. The Zeytinli, Kayalı, Taş, Ağaç, İncirli and Lavanta houses sit in the countryside around a garden and a pool, away from the village. The right choice for a family or a longer stay.

The official rates include breakfast for two and are per room or cottage, per night.

Food and yoga

• a restaurant with a view and an unhurried village breakfast;
• a stone-walled yoga and meeting room opening onto nature;
• the pool at the cottage estate.

Location

The rooms are in the heart of Şirince village, 8 km and about 12 minutes from Selçuk; the cottages are in the hills, away from the village. Ephesus is about twenty minutes away, İzmir airport about an hour. See our Ephesus, Selçuk and Şirince page.

In October 2026, for two nights from 1 to 3 June 2027, the cheapest room cost about €133 a night for two adults, breakfast included and non-refundable, including taxes and fees, or €266 for the two nights. The hotel also publishes its own seasonal rates in Turkish lira on its website.

Sabaro's view

Who it suits: couples who want to sleep in the village; families and longer stays in the cottages with a pool (see family).

Highlights: the choice between village and hills; the cottage pool; a family welcoming guests since 1999; a rating of 4.4 out of 5 on Google (309 reviews).

Good to know: in the village, the lanes are steep and cobbled; the cottages, further out, require a car. For a spa and hammam in the village, see Markiz Konakları.
