    a few months ago, while booking our air b&b I googled "what to do in Phoenicia" and the Mystery Spot was the first thing to come up. Now ive done a bit of traveling and sometimes a place that looks great can be kinda gimmicky, so this was my fear with this location, BUT now that I have been I can promise Mystery Spot was easily my favorite part of our trip.

    The owner was there, she was funny and kind and very knowledgeable! Another highlight was a shock, the layout! it was so easy to walk through and get lost in each room, everything was organized and easy to look through. I can't say enough how much that helped, I hate feeling like a bull in a china shop so feeling comfortable walking around was a big factor for me.

    My partner and I purchased our first antique and have our eye on our next purchase here, giving us an excuse to come back to the beautiful little paradise that is Phoenicia.

    Thank you Mystery Spot! You all helped make our holiday extra special. Hope to see you soon!

    Very pretty trails. Extremely difficult trail — which I loved. We hiked up to the great ledge and found an absolutely incredible view!! Lots of rocks so wear hiking shoes and the path could be wet especially after a rain

    If you are beginner, like we were, this hike may seem somewhat difficult and, well, endless. At many points we felt that the hike was longer than the 3-miles posted. The trail starts off flat, yet slowly ascends the skirt of the mountain. About 1/3 of the way, the trail turns to a winding/curving trail. The firetower itself was 4 stories high and the views were incredible.
    I caution everyone to bring essentials up there.

    This once was a beautifull Catholic Church that alone begins to tell a little piece of history of SHandakan. You can't help to feel a little sad as you wonder why the church is no longer a church? The story of Shandakan is interesting and worth a visit .

    I had been to Phoenicia many times, especially during leaf peeping season and for dinner at Brio's restaurant but did not know about this hidden gem. After dinner walked across the street to the Playhouse and saw an awesome play. The theater is small (approx 160 seats) and has a lot of the original decor. The staff were super friendly and the talent in the play was great - honed actors/actress not just local fill ins. Tickets were very inexpensive. It was a wonderful 2 hours detour!

    Good views from the Phoenicia observation site. The only problem is the poor trail marking, especially at the start. We've wasted some time wandering around, even were thinking about aborting the hike, when luckily saw a returning couple so we got back to the trail. A lot of markers are placed parallel to the trail so they can be seen only while passing by instead of showing the path. Well, that can be considered as making the hike a bit more adventurous...

    They are just an amateur group of people trying to do something bigger than them. No good voices, no good orchestra at all, no good acting skills, no scenography, to me was just a waist of time. Fortunately a thunderstorm interrupted the show and I escaped! Sometimes a thunderstorm can be helpful!

    The 1st thing that hit you is the greatest smell of home made incense. The prices are very cheap comparing with NYC. We bought honey, toys, crystals, inches, candle and so onnnn.
    my fave store ever!

    Tender Land Home is a sophisticated shop offering the most unusual and elegant crafts, jewelers, wearables, gifts and home goods in a warm and inviting venue. Dave, the owner, is friendly and helpful (and he even offers giftwrapping!) A road trip to Phoenicia must include a visit to The Tender Land Home!
