How to get there
Kilisealti Pension is located near the village entrance in a
quiet street opposite the schoolhouse. It is a 10 minute walk
(steep!) or a 1-kilometer drive (bumpy!) to the Nisanyan Inn,
which is on top of the hill on the opposite flank of the village.
To reach Sirince, use the (well-marked) road turn at the North
end Selçuk. The 8-km Selçuk-Sirince drive is one of the prettiest
in the whole country.(more road info...) |

The Little Guesthouse under the Church Steps
| Kilisealti Pension will be closed for the winter until March 31, 2008. Nisanyan Inn and the Houses are open as always. |
 Kilisealti
Pansiyon means The Guesthouse Under the Church. It takes its name from
the steps of the former church of St Demetrios, now a ruin, which stands
on a height at the village entrance of Şirince. The 7-room guesthouse
came into operation in 2004. It offers a low-key, inexpensive
alternative to Nisanyan House.
 Kilisealti
Pension offers six friendly, cozy and bright double rooms and one two-room suite. Rooms 4 and 5 together occupy a separate house, and they share a bathroom. All other rooms
have private shower and WC. The suite (room 7) has a double bedroom and a living room with a sofabed that converts into a comfortable second double bed. The guesthouse is centrally heated in winter. There
is a pretty courtyard shaded by a vine canopy and some tangerine trees,
and a grassy garden full of flowers. They command a postcard-perfect
view of the village.
 Two young women, Gülden and Ferda, run Kilisealti Pension with smiling hospitality. The guesthouse has a separate desk and telephone (898
3128) if you want to contact it directly. You can place your online reservations
through the Nisanyan House website. And of course Kilisealti guests are
welcome to make free use of the Nisanyan House facilities - the swimming pool, restaurant, library
or broadband internet connection.
