Today, visitors can view its hillside theater, portions of which are covered with shifting sand dunes. The ancient harbor is now a marshy area. Nearby are the ruins of a lighthouse, and the sandy beach. Other ruins include a triumphal arch with three gates, baths, basilica, temple, huge granary, and a necroplis with tombs.
