Kirazli Valley (Cherry District) is one of my favorite region where some of the most
beautiful vineyards can be found here. This vineyard is one of them. The Wine
Paradise, is tucked away hidden behind a creek, away from the main road. The
winery produces a number of differents wines and in fact is probably the most
delicious wine in Aegean as well. This is a must- see vineyard. It's one of those
postcards shots- lush green grass surrounding with a rich blue mountain with a
set of perfectly jagged peaks, snow-capped, jutting between the background and
the sky.. So what better place to put a winery then here? The Aegean region has
some of the Turkeys best wines, in my opinion, so the combination of unbeatable
views and amazing wines is nothing short of bliss. 
Kirazli Village is 14km to Kusadasi city center. The name Kirazli (village with
cherry) comes from the cherry trees in the village. It is a traditional village where
you can experience the local village life.
Hidden from the crowds behind olive groves, cherry blossoms and vineyards;
Kirazli Village is one of the few non-touristy places left that offers accommodation
around Ephesus.
There are approximately 350 families living at the village, earning their lives from
farming and animal breeding. Being the first example at the country, the organic
farming is supported by the government. The main products of the village are
cherry, olive, fig, grape, walnut and wine. However except the tropical fruits,
every single type of fruit is grown around the village.
On Sundays, Kirazli hosts Turkey's first certified organic product market. An-
every year-increasing number of village restaurants are invaded by locals on
weekends for their special family type breakfasts and traditional regional dishes.
Although it is surrounded by all the touristy attractions , there are still no touristy
shops in Kirazli village. However, a couple of boutique hotels are busy all year
round.
There is one mosque, one primary school, one health clinic, a butcher, a bakery,
and three mini markets at the village. Public minibuses run every half an hour
between Kusadasi and Kirazli at day time.
