On the south-west coast of the island is a fenced-off area
just behind the coastal path that you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s some
kind of military compound if you didn’t know what you were looking at. But with
a bit of background reading, I discovered that it was part of an archaeological
site and it should at least be worth a look at. What looked like a very well-preserved
museum from the outside soon turned out to be a bit of a desert within. Armed
solely with a mobile phone and a pamphlet given to me by a very bored security
guard, I attempted to make the best of what I could find and took a quick photo
of the map for reference. The mosaics seem to be well preserved and most of
them were enclosed in some kind of basic shelter. The highlight for me was
reaching the base of the lighthouse that we could see from our apartment
complex, but unfortunately it was forbidden to go in. I also enjoyed the nearby
amphitheatre.
