The historic village was founded by Greeks in the 15th century. It was also an important settlement during the Ottoman period. However, during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1924, the Greek population of the village migrated to Greece, resulting in a decrease in the Greek population.

It is a village located in Selçuk district of İzmir, Turkey. Situated in the Aegean Region, it is renowned for its historical and natural beauty. Şirince is characterized by its stone houses, narrow streets, and famous vineyards.

After December 21, 2012, the supposed end of the Mayan calendar, it was claimed that the world would come to an end, and Şirince village would be unaffected by this catastrophe. The year 2012 attracted considerable attention from the media.

The supposed end of the Mayan calendar led some to develop a belief that the end of the world was near. However, it is widely accepted that this prophecy had no basis in reality and lacked scientific evidence. When December 21, 2012 arrived, no catastrophic event occurred, and Şirince village continued as usual.
