Quote from article ....
The ministry's website recommends tourists visit a range of locations including Palmyra, a few miles from the frontline with IS, and Old Aleppo, which has been the scene of the heaviest fighting this summer and is roughly divided between rebel and regime forces.
Seems safe enough to me ... must just be a matter of been sensible then and of remembering to pack your SPF Factor 30 and an inflatable dinghy to soak up the cultural , scenic trip back home via Greece.

If you go to Syria without clearing it first, you are going to get into so much trouble, which is eminently sensible, given the current situation.

Re: Syria
May be the first seeds off a message of hope...who knows, but think we should Assad over this even if we think hes not nice...remember LibraSeems the Rebels(IRA type)have lost East Aleppo at last and with the help of the Russians... and with good will from the west the country can again become civilized(Not like S/A who behead a woman for going to a market to buy food without a male present))
