In Byblos, you'll explore an ancient coastal city bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean. Stroll through its narrow cobbled streets and admire its impressive harbour.
There you will see the impressive ruins dating back to the Neolithic period, for which the area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site .
