The journey was nice once you get off the motorway with smashing views once you get up high. I was very very surprised at the state of dress (undress) of many people at the open air mass. This is a christian holy site and as such deserves respect. Many women had extremely low tops on showing half their breasts, other had strapless dresses. Shawls were provided inside the church for covering up but the code of dress was not enforced. I have visited Muslim sites and christian sites in Israel and code of dress is enforced and quite rightly so. So please Mass-goers at The Virgin Marys House in Turkey ..... cover up! There was a definite spiritual feeling at this church, a peaceful soft gentle warm embrace. The tissues on the wall were not for me though. Lovely view of ephesus on the way back down.
