Latakia

View over Latakia
At Saladin Castle
Latakia is a city by the Mediterranean Sea, with Syrias biggest port.
You can feel it is a coasttown. Here you find roads lined with palmtrees, many cafes, restaurants and bars and trendy people.
North of the town are some really nice beaches. And close are the historical and interesting places Ugarit and Qala'at Salah ad-Din (Saladin Castle).

 Lovely castle ruins and nice beach. But what a horror you had with that first hotel. I would have changed too!

 Wow... the ruins of Saladin's castles. Read in history book and saw the movie "Kingdom under Heaven" featuring Saladin as a merciless yet merciful leader.
