Can anyone help me please - my wife and I would be very interested in visiting the Virgin Marys house - is this in Sirince or Selçuk?   Also how far is this to drive (from çalis) and roughly how long would it take?

It is in (near) Selçuk. It takes roughly 4 hours to drive to from Çalis. We did it last year and stayed overnight in a pension in nearby Sirince (an ex greek village with stunning views). Would recommend this as it gives you time to have a look around Ephusus as well.

The dates have changed again it is now the 20th and 21st Wed/Thurs February and you have a choice in Izmir.  You can choose either a city sight seeing trip or a shopping trip.
It has got to be good value for £60 and the hotel in Kusadasi looks pretty good too. :)

To anyone who did not go......Tough you missed a good couple of days!
Seriously it was most enjoyable, obviously on such a trip the company is important and we had some good fun. We did however cram an awful lot into two days....Selcuk, The Virgin Mary's House which was incredibly tranquil at this time of year, Sirince.... lots of wine tasting and looking remarkably like Kaya Koy but still very much alive.  A good quality Hotel in Kusadasi for the night perhaps a little too much on the outskirts but fine for the one night. The two faces of Izmir... the modern and the older Konak area.  The trip is being rerun again in early March for anyone who wants to give it a whirl. There is also a trip to Capadoccia but that is still very much in the planning stage. :)

This trip was good fun and we got to see a lot withinn the 2 days.
It was a small friendly group and winter time was a perfect time to see these places without too many tourists about.
Thr trip is running again 5th-6th March.

They arranged it while you were offline on purpose linda.
They wanted the coach to get there without crashing.   :D
