Justin
The House of Virgin Mary is a very special and powerful place for the deep spiritual history. It was very inspiring to see the “Wall of Blessings”. There is no talking or photography allowed in the church itself. If you give an offering of 10 Lira, you are able to take a candle to light outside the church. There is also a very nice cafe situated conveniently at the entrance. Walking from Selcuk would be very difficult and take over 2 hours. You are able to get a taxi outside of the Selcuk train station for around 50 euros to include Ephesus and The House of Virgin Mary.

Is it actually Mary’s house or just a tourist trap? Jury is still out. Is it worth a visit for you to decide for yourself? Yup. They herd you through the house at a gallop so don’t expect to spend much time checking things out inside the house. Basically just a quick walk through of a tiny house. There’s a holy fountain and a wishing wall too. The whole site might take you 20 minutes to get through.

In Meryemana, Turkiye, the Virgin Mary's House is located. Reverant, quiet, with a prayer wall we stood in a contemplative mode, remembering the struggles of Jesus and the prophecy that was to unfold. I thought of the pain Mary and her sisters endured, but still after all these years Mary provides love and forgiveness to all those in need. These prayers and requests were represent at the prayer wall at Mary's House. It was symbolic of the needs from people all over the world. One gentle man touched my heart so, as he went around retrieving prayer notes that had fallen off the wall. He tenderly returned each note from the ground to the wall. A qentle act of kindness. There are no photographs allowed in Mary's House but prayer candles may be purchased there. Worth the visit!

Mary’s House on Mount Koressos (Mount Nightingale) near Ephesus is a serene and spiritual spot, surrounded by olive trees. Visitors can write prayers or wishes on pieces of paper or cloth and tie them to the wish well wall. The line can be long but moves quickly, and note that no photos or videos are allowed inside, preserving the sacred atmosphere.

Beautiful and sacred holy ground. Be prepared to do a lot of walking as most vehicles are not permitted close to the entrance. We enjoyed seeing the home of the Virgin Mary. The wall of intentions was moving and special. We enjoyed walking the grounds and looking at the landscape. Recommend dressing modestly or you will need to wear a covering. Photography is not permitted in the house.
