Tartus is Syria's second port city, known for its relaxed beach atmosphere, the medieval Old City, and the gateway to Arwad Island — Syria's only inhabited island. The surrounding area includes Krak des Chevaliers (one of the world's best-preserved Crusader castles) and scenic mountain villages. A rental car from Tartus gives you access to the entire coastal region and nearby inland attractions.
Tartus is 85 km south of Latakia along the coastal highway and about 250 km from Damascus via Homs. It's a favorite summer destination for Syrian families and returning diaspora, particularly in July and August.
