We wander the medieval souk, talking to the locals and getting greased up by people who seem to want to keep putting home made perfumes all over us. Smelling highly potent to the point where I am feeling nauseous we stop off for strong Turkish coffee and baklava (very sweet pastries), which Tripoli is famous for. Yummy!!!
Byblos (Jbail)
With its picturesque ancient fishing harbour, Roman remains, and crusader castle , this place is simply beautiful!
So imagine this…. sitting by this amazingly beautiful fishing harbour, the sun is setting, with the most melodic Arabic chanting for Easter playing in the background.
Have a lovely meal at Pepe the pirates Byblos Fishing Club, which used to be famed for its stream of famous film stars before the civil war.
After go and sit and in a lovely square eating crepes and smoking Shish pipe. The area is ‘buzzing’ with people paying pilgrimage for Easter at the numerous churches and temples in this town.
