Finished all but 1 across where I have c-b-h- for the
clue - "Sent a message about Slovenian tourist destination".

Think the 'h' may be wrong from 3 down - "Girls from Israeli port brought over around one". I put 'Haifa' which is a lazy answer I know. Could be 'Leila' (el al?)

Can anyone point me in the right direction without telling me the answers? Thanks!

My answer to 3d was a girls name rather than an Israeli port. I'm not sure if it is right. But 1ac is cabled.

Thanks, but why cabled? Is there a Slovenian tourist destination I don't know about?

I can also make a girl's name for 3 dn, but not sure how it fits the clue and where the port fits in.

Thanks Joker.
I get bled but didn't know about ca meaning about. Usually it's re.

Ca abbrev.for Circa _ about in Latin.
Fairly common in crosswords.

Thanks too Joker!

Maybe that's why I don't manage to finish some crosswords!

patondor - the Israeli port is also a unit of area - backwards around "I" to form a girl's name
