• Tel Dor. An archaeological site with a long and rich history.
• Haifa. This beautiful port city is located on the slopes of the picturesque Mount Carmel. Various confessions coexist peacefully here. From afar, you can see a temple with a golden dome – the Bahai Shrine. On the top, there is a beautiful view of the gorgeous terraces of the Bahai Gardens – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Akko. An impressive city, where you should take a boat trip at sunset. Behind the old walls, there are many beautiful streets with cozy cafés serving very tasty hummus. You can see horse-drawn carriages in the streets. The museum city tells about the history since the Crusader period. The old fortress offers the best view of the green valley of the Jordan River.

If you're interested in the Christian history of the Holy Land, you should visit:

• biblical Megiddo;
• Magdala – the hometown of Mary Magdalene;
• Nazareth – the hometown of Jesus – and the Church of the Annunciation;
• the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord's Prayer;
• baptismal sites on the Jordan River in the south of the Sea of Galilee.

In the pastoral mountains of Samaria, you can see fantastic archaeological findings, which confirm biblical narratives.

Galilee

Galilee is a region with a long and rich past, important for Jewish history. The biggest freshwater lake in the country is the greatest natural wealth of Israel. Galilee is popular among both pilgrims and travelers, who love outdoor activities. On the western shore of the lake, there is the Tiberias resort. Here you can enjoy delicious local food with Lebanese and Mediterranean flavors. There are wineries with very good Israeli wine. It’s interesting to stay in a kibbutz; for example, Nof Ginosar that is located on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Explore:

• Rosh HaNikra grottoes;
• Tel Dan Nature Reserve;
• Tanur waterfall;
• beaches in the Western Galilee: Bezet and Achziv;
• Artists' Quarter in Safed;
• the old town of Rosh Pina;
• Agamon Hula Nature Reserve – a paradise for ornithologists and nature lovers, where you can endlessly watch a lot of birds that are resting on Hula Lake on the way to Africa.

You should spend more than just one day visiting the attractions around the Sea of Galilee.
