Sidon
Lebanon
Sidon's Sea Castle, built by the Crusaders in the 13th century on a compact island just off the Mediterranean coast, is the centrepiece of this Lebanese city's walkable historic centre, which also holds a concentration of churches and a lively café and restaurant scene. The third-largest city in Lebanon and capital of the South Governorate, Sidon sits roughly equidistant between Beirut and Tyre, with mountains visible inland.
