I went with my friend for a two days vacation. Our main destination was Kasab which is a nice small city one hour from Latakia (80 KM). Latakia itself is 3.5 hours from Damascus.

We left Damascus on Friday 5:00 AM and were in Latakia by 9:00 were we had a lovely breakfast in a restaurant called Samakmak. We then went to Kasab were we rent a nice Villa. We spent the day cursing around in Kasab which is really amazing, mountains are surrounding you and fresh air is ruling the place.

We had dinner in a place called Rabweh and it was one of the most amazing grilled chickens I had in my life.

Next day we waked up on this beautiful scene of clouds going down and sinking in the mountains. We went to Al Samra early in the morning and what can I say about Al Samra. Clearly one of the most amazing spots in Syria Mountain meets the sea in a perfect harmony, too bad it's not very popular amongst tourists and even amongst Syrian

Al Samra is like 20 minutes away from Kasab and they have one restaurant but surly the best restaurant in the whole area. I had the most amazing breakfast of my life.

It was all home made breakfast full of fresh food and fresh vegetables we really didn't want to leave the place because it was AMAZING that's how it should be described

We left Samra then went back to the villa were we packed then went back to Latakia,. I forgot to say that the road from Kasab to Latakia is breathtaking and you really don't feel that it's been an hour to arrive

We went to fresh up at our friends' house then went to one of the best restaurants in Syria which is Abo Dourid

I remember going there with my friends 6 years ago were we had fish and I can swear that I can still smell it. We were there by 3:00 were we ordered fried and grilled fish both were really amazing and the restaurants now have a nice surprise which is grilled knafeh

OMG it was and will be for ever the most amazing Knafeh I had in my life so thick and so rich of cheese and because of the way they grill it on coal it was really rich in flavor and not really that fatty . It was delicious God bless Abo Dourid.

We left Latakia at 7:00 going back to Damascus and were there by 11:00

Two days from heaven that what I can say about them.  I still have a lot to say about the trip because in a way it changed my life for ever and inshalla for the best and I would like to thank all my friends who shared this amazing experience with me.
