📍 Destination Overview
Batroun, one of northern Lebanon's oldest coastal towns, was founded in Phoenician times. Known for its harbor ruins, old walls and the Crusader-era church of St John the Baptist, presumably his birthplace, it boasts natural limestone rock pools carved by waves, summer spots to swim and dive amid fine wine and seafood.
