Description
The Byblos archaeological site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and holds layers of civilizations dating back to 8800 BC. It was a major Phoenician port city, known for its trade with Ancient Egypt, particularly in cedar wood. The Byblos Ruins are a nice place to watch birds. Good chances of spotting Νεκταρoπoύλι της Παλαιστίvης, White-spectacled Bulbul, Ερημομουγιούδι, Φοινικοτρύγονο, Μαυροτσιροβάκος and (Ευρωπαϊκός) Φλώρος, but many more birds can show up here, especially during spring migration. See the birdlist below.
