Excavations of a 6th-century pilgrimage port featuring intricate mosaic floors, a baptistery, and cliffside tombs.
During early Byzantine times, this windswept cape was an important maritime hub for pilgrims sailing between Constantinople and Alexandria. Excavations have revealed three grand 6th-century basilicas.
