Walking
From the center of Byblos, head towards the main road that runs parallel to the coast (Jbeil Street). Walk northeast towards the roundabout at the entrance of the city. At the roundabout, take the exit towards Aannaya. Continue walking straight for about 2 kilometers until you reach the village of Aannaya. As you approach the village, look for signs directing you to Monastery Saint Maroun. The monastery is situated on a hill and is visible from the road. Follow the signs, and you will find the entrance to the monastery.
Public Transport
From Byblos, you can take a shared taxi (servis) heading towards Aannaya. These taxis can be found near the Byblos bus station or on the main street. Make sure to specify Aannaya to the driver. The journey will take approximately 15-20 minutes, and you will be dropped off near the entrance to the village. From there, follow the signs to Monastery Saint Maroun, which is a short walk uphill.
