    MORE INFO

    Batroun is a historic Lebanese coastal town known for its old souk, Phoenician sea wall, churches, beach clubs, seafood, lemonade, wineries, and lively summer nightlife. It feels more relaxed and resort-oriented than Beirut while retaining road access to Byblos, Tripoli, and the capital. Internet and utilities depend heavily on the exact property, and regional security conditions can change rapidly. Batroun suits couples, creatives, diaspora residents, and remote workers with secure foreign-currency income and flexible contingency plans.
