I literally just found you a few days ago. I'm going to be cruising solo from now on since my sweet husband went to Heaven. Thank you so much for sharing your cruise with us! And to know you go to see Ephesus is so exciting! I'd love to do that cruise! I can't wait to see your Israel video! Enjoy! 🙂
First of all so sorry to hear about your husband. My deepest condolences. I’m glad you found my channel and are enjoying my content! The Israel cruise was so amazing - from all the wonderful ports to the amazing ship. I would highly recommend it! Thank you for watching. 😊
I really enjoyed this video. It's amazing to see where the Bible took place. I never knew Mary lived in Turkey. That was so cool to see her house. I don't mind the voice overs they're just as good.
Sounds like a fantastic cruise! I've been to the House of Mary, so spiritual, Ephesus was amazing too... I love all that history too... Turkey was a beautiful trip for me, will do it again... Try a land trip with Gate 1, great prices...
Loved visiting Ephesus….Kusadasi…I was amazed back in the 80s and they are still, uncovering so much more. But when you scanned the toilet seats it really brought back memories and My amazement of the system they had way back when. Thx for taking me back🚢😊
Too cool! I’ve been waiting to see this one! We’ve booked the same tour for our cruise on Odyssey, but with lunch included. I love the biblical history of it all…I can’t wait! Thanks Zach!
Beautiful, and loved the music you used! Some authorities hold that the ever-Virgin Mary returned to Jerusalem before she completed the course of her earthly life at the age 72, while others, equally strong in arguments, say she remained in Ephesus to the end.
Hi! Thank you for your informative videos. I’m currently planning a Mediterranean cruise (Greece, Croatia, Turkey). What is the best time of year for mild weather (low to mid 70’s)?
We enjoyed some great smoothies at the Spa Cafe. Add a bagel and it's breakfast! We often ate breakfast in Luminae (because we could!), but also found the main dining room quick, efficient, and excellent.
Do you have to obtain a E-visa while in Türkiye for one day on a cruise? The cruise line that we are going to be sailing with was saying in the documents that we do not to obtain a visa for a day with arrangements. What does that mean? Like an excursion? Are you still able to walk around the port town freely and then return to the ship whenever you feel the need to? It’s seems a little confusing. If you have any information on this that would be great?
You usually do NOT need a visa when visiting via cruise ship. However, please check directly with your cruise line to see if they can add some clarification so you will have everything you need.
Was there in 2016, Ephesus first, then the House of the Virgin Mary. Both were beyond our expectations and would like to return. Our guide was amazing.
Love this cruise. Mines Jerusalem, Turkey, and Alexandria! Doin guided tours Israel for Nazareth and Galilee and and Mary’s House & Ephesus thru celebrity and Alexandria thru Celebrity. And thank you FOR THE TIP ON WATCHING FOR PRICE DROPS!
Very interesting that John is absolutely the latest gospel written, I believe written in the 300 ad but others will say a little earlier but not much, and it's the only one to include this woman Behold thy son thing. Which is the Perpetual virgin, which is in the entire Gospel of John is the Perpetual virgin virtual disciple of Jesus. Whereas in our oldest Gospel of Mark; Mary is one of the people in Nazareth who is saying that Jesus isn't who he says he is; and by far Jesus's most currently pertinent quote where he says a prophet is never a prophet: especially in his own town; around his own people; and his own family
Is Eden on all of the Celebrity Ships? Thank you so much for this wonderful looking food and I want to know how it tasted to you. Enjoy and I will be waiting for our next excursion. Stay safe. Amen

Just got back from this exact same excursion on Celebrity Beyond; nice way to relive it. Thx
Thank you for this informative video… Sounds like you're having or had a great cruise🚢
Thanks for watching! Had an amazing cruise.
What a brilliant way to see this part of the world - even that view in the morning sold it to me - wow!
Thanks for watching! It’s such a beautiful place.
Thanks for sharing this! You've helped me to put Ephesus on my bucket list.
Great video, as always, Zach. Appreciate your respect for the guides and the sites…your momma raised you well! 😉
Looking forward to more.
Thanks for watching!
Again, awesome video. Who did you use to book the excursion?
I booked through Celebrity.
I really enjoyed this video. It's amazing to see where the Bible took place. I never knew Mary lived in Turkey. That was so cool to see her house. I don't mind the voice overs they're just as good.
Thank you so much!

Loved your insights and commentary around the sites Zach 🙏 looked amazing! Had a giggle at the “Genuine Fake Watches” sign in the markets 😂
Thanks for watching! As soon as I saw that sign I knew it was going in the video. 😂
God Bless Turkey Country , - God Bless The Turkey People's, - Thanks All, ..... Cheerio.*****.
Thanks, Zach. I‘LL be visiting Kusadasi on NCL in October, so this was great information!
Hi Zach! Another great video! Yes, we definitely want to do a Mediterranean cruise on Celebrity (again!).
Thanks for watching!
Been here ❤incridible 🙏

Thanks for watching! You will love it. It’s so beautiful there.
Cannot wait to go to Turkey, thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching!

Hey, great video. What camera you using to video?
My iPhone 14 Pro Max!
Hi! Thank you for your informative videos. I’m currently planning a Mediterranean cruise (Greece, Croatia, Turkey). What is the best time of year for mild weather (low to mid 70’s)?
Hi there. Great choice! I would recommend September and October as the weather will be cooler. It can get quite warm there in the summer months!
We enjoyed some great smoothies at the Spa Cafe. Add a bagel and it's breakfast! We often ate breakfast in Luminae (because we could!), but also found the main dining room quick, efficient, and excellent.
Oh man if I had Luminae access I would be there every meal lol!
Can men wear shorts to the Virgin Mary site?
Great stuff man!
Thanks so much!

You’re going to have an amazing time! Guided Tours Israel is amazing - had a great three days with them!
Kuşadası (Kush-ada-suh) very good place 😊
Did this itinerary on Apex a few years ago. Magnificent.
Adriatic Sea is branch of Mediterranean
We were in the Aegean Sea. However the cruise lines classify it all as “Mediterranean” for the most part. Thanks for watching!

Wow! We are in Turkey! Yah
We sure are! Woohoo!

Eden is only on the Edge class ships.
@@chuckvee6408 Oh, okay. Thank you. Amen
Thanks for watching!
Zach, are you retired?? If not--what work do you do that allows you so much vacation time?
We're you not allowed to film inside Mary's home?
No videos or photos allowed inside
can you give credits to the music, I’d like to find it. Thank you
Genuine Fake Watches! Cracks me up. Great video as always.
Lol I knew as soon as I saw that I had to include. So funny! And thank you! 😊
Props to Turkey because they could have just destroyed all this stuff over a thousand years ago
Safe?
Yes
I spotted a sign at the market “Genuine Fake Watches”… haha
Haha yep! That made me laugh. 😂
