You can get a candle for a small donation to make a wish or prayer with outside the house. It was presumly the house where Mary resided until her death. ...
Clean and modern. They've got the tourist thing down and it's great. No fast hustle, just give the pitch. We didn't need any carpets, but one guy had a brother who, for the prevailing rate of 60 euros would take us up to the Virgin Mary house and show us to some good rug & leather & pottery factories. It was great! Raymond drove really well and really fast and we got up to the Virgin Mary ...
We elected to just visit Kusadasi as it was at the port and we could walk to it from the ship. Visited the market place and bought a Turkish silk rug, beautiful but expensive. But this is why we travel to find new and beautiful things not to spend money and time on getting to the place which we have already paid for with the cruise. ...
I say again: The Celebrity excursion would have been the best way to visit this beautiful place. We didnt get further than the markets and the shops. Next time better. ...
Our guide Ky was wonderful...even loved the rug demonstration. There was no pressure to purchase. Found a great little cafe to try Turkish coffee with free WIFI. ...
