This is the biggest city we have been in for awhile, and although we were warned by other cruising friends, the prices for everything were correspondingly high. We stayed a few days longer than planned, mainly to do a 2,500 hour servicing of our engine. It has been running perfectly, and we would like to keep it that way. We made a quick visit to the archeological museum which was interesting but a bit overdone in the multi-media department. Each gallery was devoted to a different topic but had a similar presentation format which didn’t work to well for us. There was an interesting exhibit with a replica of a Phoenician trading vessel found in the waters nearby.
