House of Virgin Mary
Selçuk, Turkey Shrine
Best suited for devout Christians and Mary devotees seeking spiritual experience. Worth visiting if interested in early Christian history. Not ideal if purely secular or uncomfortable with prolonged queuing in religious spaces with strict behavioral rules. Expect 20-30 minute queues during peak season; low season is quieter. Wear modest clothing; no photography inside (strictly enforced). Walk from Selçuk is 10 minutes or taxi ~50 euros. Budget 20-40 minutes for the full site. Donations fund candles. No talking or photos allowed inside.
