Walking
From the Byblos Fishing Port, head south on the coastal road (Byblos Street) towards the old souk. Continue straight until you reach the entrance of the Byblos Castle. Once you are at the castle, turn left onto the main road (Riyack Street). Walk straight for about 1.5 kilometers, and you will see a sign for Chateau Rayak on your left after you pass by several local shops and cafes. The winery is located at St George's Street, Riyaq.
Taxi
If you prefer to take a taxi, you can easily find one at the Byblos Fishing Port. Tell the driver your destination: 'Chateau Rayak, St George's Street, Riyaq.' The drive should take around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on a price before starting your journey or ask the driver to use the meter.
Public Transport
Locate the nearest bus station in Byblos, which is typically near the old souk or the fishing port. Take a bus heading towards Riyaq. Inform the driver to drop you off at the closest stop to St George's Street. Once you get off the bus, walk along St George's Street, and you should find Chateau Rayak within a few minutes on your right.
