After Palmyra, probably the most impressive ruins to be found in Syria, Apamea boasts a great location and has some surprises to be found.
I had not realized before visiting that it would be so extensive. The cardo seemed to become always more endless, but I finally reached the end at Antioch Gate. I then had some great views from the many standing columns, looking over the barren agricultural lands that were scattered with remains of Roman houses. I visited the Roman villa and the remains of the cathedral, before meeting a very curious and affectionate Syrian man who started to hug me and babbled away in Arabic, which I unfortunately could not understand. Hours after I had planned to leave Apamea, I started walking down, saw some of the mosaics that had been recovered at Apamea, before heading to Hama.
