Hiking Trip - Anfeh Hike & Tour - Koura District

  • Our hike will be in Anfeh. Anfeh attracts a lot of tourists, for its beautiful picturesque landscape of small white houses, windmills, and salt marshes on its rocky beaches along the Mediterranean coast. Its historical monuments, old churches, and archeological site of its peninsula, make it one of the top touristic destinations of the Lebanese northern coast.

    First, we will stop in one of the natural beauties of Anfeh. A cave furnished and set up in quite a unique way.

    Then we will take the tiny paths in Anfeh, an old village rich in ruins and caves.

    There, you will visit a very old Byzantine church among other historical monuments. The Citadel of Anfeh will be an important stop in our program.

    The citadel is considered a Crusader remain, but it was an important place for many other civilizations. Many historical things like old graves, mosaic pieces, olive presses, and saltpans can be found in and around it. The citadel is characterized by its rock-cut trench (Al-Khandaq).

    Afterwards, we will take an easy path leading to Saidet el Natour, an old historical monastery, where you can take great pictures and enjoy the view.

    Note: This hike will be one level, a moderate one. It will mostly be in the nature and on the tiny streets of Anfeh.
