After I had seen everything in Selcuk, the small mountain village of Sirince was still on the agenda. Several locals had recommended it to me. The bike stayed at the hotel for now, a bus runs every 20 minutes from Selcuk to the mountain village (for about 35 cents). The narrow paved streets and the old houses in the Ottoman style were worth seeing, but everything has been adapted for tourism (lots of cafes and souvenir stands). Thankfully, there wasn't much going on here due to the season, but after a few obligatory photos, I didn't know what else to do. So back on the bus to Selcuk, load up the bike, and off to the east! I was able to cover the 100 kilometers to Nazilli in sunny weather and temperatures around freezing point. Apart from a small hill at the beginning, there were no significant climbs. A late lunch near Kösk was enough until Nazilli, where I arrived well before dark despite the trip to Sirince. English was not spoken here, but you always manage to communicate somehow. Due to a lack of real sights and my evening laziness, I skipped the sightseeing and had bread for dinner at the accommodation.
