Ephesus Full Day Tour - The House of Virgin Mary

It's been 28 days since I updated this space. Been wanting to do this post for the longest time!

This Ephesus tour has so much photos, that I need to be so picky to select them for the post. Coming to place it is as though my bible comes alive. Since I've been reading so much about Ephesians. We booked Ephesustours.biz, its a private tour so just my husband and I we paid USD178. It comes with extra pickup charge USD15, lunch is included and a free Ephesus book.

So the first place they took us is to The House of Virgin Mary. They came and pick us up at the hotel. Our tour guide is called Banu, together with her is the driver, I forgot his name but they came in a Mercedes Van which sits up to 12 pax. So it's super empty when it's only my husband and I.





The House of the Virgin Mary with no queues! No photography or speaking is not allowed. There were candles that could be placed in a protected area. There was a holy spring which is said to have healing powers.


Outside the shrine is a particular "wishing wall" which tour guide told us that we can write our wish and tie it to the wall. I'm not so sure how hygienic is this.


If you can spot the strand of hair they use to tie their note. It's a tad gross.



There's nothing much to see around in this place, other than the church and that wishing wall. At least I can said that I've been there.
