SAYDET EL-BAHR CHAPEL

By continuing to walk in these small streets where the old houses are destroyed and then replaced one after another by other larger and more concrete, one finds the chapel of Saydet el-Bahr, or Notre-Dame-de-la-Mer recently restored. It would have been built on the ruins of a Byzantine church. Its icons date back to 1813. There, a small terrace under arcades allows you to admire "the wall of the sea" (220 m long), still a great quarry of Roman and Greek times. Beautiful view and a very restful place, not to be missed. There is also a distinction between the basins of the old Phoenician harbour carved in the rock which were used to collect salt.
