The town of Amioun derives its name from the Aramaic language, meaning “the place of the Greeks.” Amioun is located on the top of an ancient hill dating back to before the 2nd decade B.C., and the town was called “Amia’’ during this period.Amioun is home to several old vestiges, among which are the Saint Georges Church, built over the ruins of a Roman temple, and the Mar Fawqa Church, with Byzantine paintings dating from the 12th to 14th centuries. The old Saint John Church was built on a rocky plateau overlooking the town, and close to this church are a number of caves carved into rocks that were used as cemeteries and date back to the Roman and Byzantine period. Other historical churches include: Saint Focas Church, distinguished by its Byzantine drawings; Mar Sarkis Monastery; Mar Sema’an (Saint Simon) Al-Amoudi Church; Mar Ghala Church; and Saint Barbara Church, established during the 17th century. Near to the town’s Serail stands an old cemetery transformed during the Middle Ages into a sanctuary for Saint Marina. Remains of a Roman temple, “Jib Louqa,” can also be found in Amioun.

The town’s name is derived from the Semitic language, meaning “the stone’s nose,” in reference to its coastline, which projects into the sea in the shape of a nose. Anfeh is distinguished by its maritime environment, with a variety of plants and water creatures and diverse and high quality fish resources. Anfeh is home to a heritage area near the beach known as “Taht Al-Rih,” in addition to numerous salt flats. On the coast are spread the remains of caves, temples, towers, oil presses, and trenches carved into rocks. Three important churches stand on Anfeh’s coast: Saydet (Our Lady) Al-Rih Church, a small, ruined Byzantine church with old paintings inside; Saint Catherine Church, a renovated church dating from the Crusader era and located in the middle of the village; and a church for Saint Simon Al-Amoudi and the Saint Michael, which was established during the 17th or 18th century. Anfeh is also home to Saint John Church, surrounded by some rocks with inscriptions about the works of early men who inhabited the area.

The origin of the town’s name is “Beit Ishtar” (“the house of Ishtar”). The name was later modified to “Ba’achtar,” and then the word “Dar” was added. Ishtar is the Goddess Astarte, and the ancient temple here, dedicated to Astarte, has been transformed into a Christian shrine for the Virgin Mary. The town has several relics relating to Astarte, the goddess of fertility, such as the cave sanctuary of Mar Elias, where according to legend the prophet Elias hid after he killed the pagan priests. In addition, the village has several ruins from the Roman era.

Some researchers relate the name Kfar Hazir to the Phoenician god “Ouzir” or “Ouziris” (which is the God Adonis). Therefore, the meaning of the name would be “under the protection of the God Ouzir.” Kfar Hazir has several caves and cemeteries dating back to the Roman era, as well as numerous sarcophagi. In addition, Kfar Hazir is home to the Saint Theodore Church, built during the Roman era, and possibly constructed over the ruins of a temple dedicated to the god Ouzir.

The town of Kousba derives its name from the Syriac word meaning “silver and money.” Kousba is home to an old structure known as Al-Nawous Palace, as well as vestiges of old churches and monasteries, indicating that the town was inhabited by Christians before the 11th century. Among the notable monasteries in Kousba is the Monastery of Saydet Hamatoura, located in a rocky area facing Kousba across the valley. The monastery was established in the 10th century over the ruins of a pagan temple. The road to Saydet Hamatoura is a holy road, traveled by pious believers. In a nearby cave, believers hang their personal belongings on a tall, calcified structure, praying that it will aid in fertility. In addition, Kousba is home to the Saint Dimitrios and Nicolaos Monastery, which contains a mihrab (prayer niche) decorated with a lovely, Byzantine-style wall fresco that was very common during the 12th and 13th centuries.

Al-Bohsas derives its name from the Semitic language, meaning “the place with pebbles and small stones.” However, the name sounds Arabic in origin and may be derived from the Al-Bohsas beach, which is littered with pebbles. The area is characterized by the cultivation of citrus trees, olive trees, almond trees, and vegetables. There are no major historical or religious vestiges in the village.
