It is reached by a delightful road that drops down 700 meters over two huge steps of rock to the sea. Tourists go down to Apollonia in the afternoon, after they have spent the morning in Cyrene. Both places were cities long ago, and they are full of interesting and beautiful ruins. There is more to be seen in Cyrene on the ground, you understand.

Swim under water as much as you can, with your eyes open. Look down. First you see a street, with houses and shops on both sides. Their roofs have fallen in, but the walls are standing. Some shops have a big stone table a counter perhaps and stone shelves. At the end of this street you e to a square. It has a wide pavement all around, and some buildings open directly on to the pavement. Were they cafes? Did the waiters put tables and chairs on the pavement in summer long ago?
