Corinthian Travel (http://www.corinthiantravel.co.uk) would like to welcome travel enthusiasts online to discover the many aspects of Lebanon that make it one of the greatest secrets of the Mediterranean. Lebanon has a lot to offer the modern traveller from stunning scenery to coveted cuisine.
One of the many reasons that holidaymakers choose to visit this destination is the breathtaking scenery. Lebanon was known as the ‘land of milk and honey’ in the Bible and is considered by many to be the most attractive country in the Middle East. In winter and spring the mountains are snow capped, the valleys are thickly forested and have year-round running streams and rivers, along the entire littoral the coastal hills plunge down steeply into the deep blue Mediterranean which creates a stunning backdrop. Jeita’s magnificent grotto with its extensive underground caverns featuring enormous stalactites and stalagmites has been short listed for inclusions in the New 7 Wonders of the World.
For those who like to soak up the culture, Lebanon is a dream holiday destination to discover. Lebanon is located at a historical crossroad between Europe, Asia and Africa and is rich both culturally and historically. Lebanon is very ancient and in the 2nd and 1st millennium BC has and was the home of the seafaring Phoenician civilization – inventors of the Phoenician alphabet from which our own alphabet is derived. Roman conquest brought the pax Romana to Lebanon’s shores and has left a legacy of magnificent temples. The temples of Baalbek are amongst the finest ever built by the Roman and have been given UNESCO World Heritage Status. At the site the Temple of Bacchus is larger and more complete that the Parthenon at Athens! Later various Christian communities left their mark on the landscape building fine monasteries which cling to the cliffs in inaccessible valleys – most notably in the UNESCO World Heritage Qadisha Valley.
Lebenon has something for everyone including self confessed foodies. With hundreds of stunning restaurants and an enormous variety of regional styles and dishes you will be spoilt for choice. For many, one of the great pleasures of visiting Lebanon is gorging on the simply delicious food and sampling dishes which simply cannot be found outside the country.
Beirut has several wonderful places to stay ranging from the oriental grandeur and style of the all suite Albergo Hotel, to the luxury of the recently opened Four Seasons Hotel with its unbeatable sea views, and the contemporary chic of Gordon Campbell Gray’s magnificent Le Gray Hotel.
