Sarcophagus tombs at Simeha

Sarcophagus tombs at Simeha

Crusader castle at Simeha

Simeha, some of which sank beneath the Med in an earthquake, 2nd century AD. Glass bottomed boats will take you to see the sunken ruins

Sarcophagus tomb still protruding from the water after 1800 years

The rest of the village is still inhabited. Here children play marbles as I did 50 years ago. The little chap on the left is making mud pies (I'm not admitting to doing that!)

Simeha - mother and daughter

Simeha quay

Simeha. Of interest are the olive trees, planted about same time as the tombs were built, 2000 years old.

Carved theatrical masks at Myra. St Nicholas (aka Santa Claus) was bishop here.
