One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

A relatively small amphitheater, seating only 6000 spectators in 38 rows of seats. It was first built in the BC era but there were a series of improvements and expansions. During the early eastern Roman. A wall was later built between the seats and the stage to enable gladiator and wild animal fights. The arena is still in a state of disrepair and it is dangerous to try to access the seating area. Most of the area is fenced off but there is an entrance on the left side so you can view the interior.

I bit pricey to enter (€15) per person but if you’re around you definitely should visit. I recommend evening time. We went there after 6pm. This is a perfect time. Very very few people so you could explore the place in peace, without a rush and had it almost to yourself. This one of very few heritage site that you can literally walk everywhere and touch everything so you can experience the real ancient world. Amazing feeling to enter the amphitheatre trough main entrance onto the stage and to look up and around. You get the feeling from the Gladiator, when they were entering the Colosseum. You can almost imagine the cheering crowds. There is also restored Theatre which is also amazing. I love the way you see more than just few stones . You can actually see it as it was!!!. There are view cons. No clear directions as what to see or where to go. Little map or leaflet would be helpful. Also should be some clear signage to point you where to go next. Whole place feel a little bit neglected, broken lamps and decking. Overall you should really visit this place and enjoy the ancient city of Patara

Highly recommend visiting beach and walk to the ruins (in summer ideally starting from the sunset; the archeological site is open until 22).

Nice place.

Its very good

Good

(Translated by Google) A truly remarkable structure. It's gratifying that it has survived to this day in its ancient form. There are some collapses, but the overall integrity remains intact. (Original) Вполне достойное сооружение. Радует, что дошло до наших дней в древнем исполнении. Есть обвалы, но общая целостность сохранена.

Great historical place. Couldn’t go in as it closed as I arrived, but a fascinating history and satisfying walk round the shipyards which are not far away and very cheap for entry.

the red tower (kızılkule) is definitely a must-visit spot. the sea below is very clean, the view is stunning, and the tower itself tells a rich historical story — it’s truly wonderful. i highly recommend exploring both the inside and outside of the castle, as every part has something unique to offer. for me, this place will always remain a part of my childhood, and i deeply love it. it gives me an incredible sense of peace and connection. the view of the ships and boats during sunset is absolutely breathtaking. at the upper parts of the castle, you can also find different restaurants and tourist spots where you can take a break, enjoy the scenery, and fully experience the magical atmosphere of this historic landmark.

great place worth visiting. In addition to the history of the tower and ship yard there was an exhibition as a part of the 9th ALANYA INTERNATIONAL CARTOON COMPETITION with the topic "Living in a world with artificial inteligence". The exhibition was a great contrast to the surrounding history. Highly recommend.

Come here at the evening, the view is better and more cosy. Very touristy place, you can see it once but that's that. I did not go inside, so cannot comment on that. Seems like you can go around the defense walls which starts at the castle. You can go walk on the water nearby, don't miss that as the little stones are smooth for the foot and feels well.

Didn't go in but didn't look any spectacular from outside. The surrounding area is very nice

The cable car up was quick and easy. Great views to the cleopatra beach. Be aware there is a stepped walkway up to the fort from the cable car! Various veiwing points on the way up. Reasonable priced too.

Staff was generous let me in for free because I am disabled. There was an exhibition about AI inside. The view from up is breathtaking.

If you are near adana or mersin , give it a go.. nice place to take breakfast or simply cup of tea or coffee..there is a restaurant u can sit and enjoy the view and one of the passing train if you are lucky

I very much enjoyed the drive up and down, the views were spectacular and I've wanted to go there for most of my life, because my great grandfather worked here as a Prisoner of War in WW1.

It is definitely well off the beaten path but worth the trip. There is a nice cafe nearby for food and chai.

too far from Adana to go as a single attractive point but you may stop by a canyon nearby

An impressive historical bridge with stunning views! Varda Köprüsü, also known as the German Bridge, is a masterpiece of early 20th-century engineering. The surrounding nature is beautiful, and watching the trains pass over the high arches is unforgettable. A must-see spot for history lovers, photographers, and anyone visiting Tarsus or Adana.

Safety warning. You need to drive carefully to this place, the road is narrow, after driving for an hour in a narrow road you will be reaching a cafe where you can rest and enjoy the view of the bridge. Only sandwiches and drinks, no kebap lol. We left the area and had our nice grilled sucuk at ( Tekir Zirve Restaurant), located on the top of the mountain where the view is also amazing.

It is a very beautiful and picturesque place! I recommend you to visit.

The view of the falls is fantastic.. You definitely must see and take pictures when you're in adana or mersin it takes only 30 to 40 minutes to get there by car.

The view and location are very nice. It would be much better if they could organize the tables and seating a little more. The prices are a little high.

Tarsus Şelalesi is a waterfall located in Mersin, Turkey. It is a popular tourist attraction in the region, known for its picturesque setting and natural beauty. The waterfall is located in the Tarsus district of Mersin, and it is surrounded by dense forests and lush vegetation. It is fed by the Berdan River, which flows down from the mountains and through the forests before plunging over the edge of the waterfall. The waterfall is approximately 30 meters tall, and it is a popular spot for swimming, picnicking, and hiking. There are also several restaurants and cafes located near the waterfall, offering a range of local dishes and refreshments.

You might get lost looking for it but follow the water. Beautiful and in the middle of the city.. small but still a breath of fresh air and great for down time or picnics

I saw many videos about the waterfall of tarsus on u tube and others sites that shows a huge waterfall but at the moment i got there i was disappointed cuz it's wasn't as i was expecting it would be

The Restaurant next to the waterfall has good food to offer and tastes good. The waterfall does look really nice and is a good place for people, who like to be close to Nature, besides that it isnt such a big place, but definetly worth seeing.

Very beautiful watercolor, nice restaurants where u can appreciate the view while enjoy good food.

A stunning mosque in the heart of Adana, it took 10 years from 1988-1998 to finish the construction of this serene magnificent complex. There’s a lot of greenery inside its premise which provides solace during the hot summers of this region.

If you are coming to the Mosque after seeing Taş köprü there is shortcut, an underground passage to the mosque but the passage stinks with urine and filth. You can make a bigger loop and pass through a traffic lights which are a bit far. But if you go through the underground passage the smell is terrible. Looks like an abandoned place. If you can bear the smell you can pass through it fast and reach the beautiful mosque that is worth visiting. I think municipal authorities should pay attention to this.

This is one of the greatest and beautiful mosque what I had ever seen! It's the second largest mosque in Turkey. There’re amazing views all around and exciting views inside.

Very beautiful mosque with awesome design and beautiful decorations. Very large interior and exterior surrounding yard. There is a huge park outside the mosque that has many activities for families and children. The mosque is also right on the river and a short walk from the old city.

This was my first visit to Adana. I explored the historical area around the clock tower, however the area near to this mosque was my favorite. It’s a big complex, the mosque it’s among the biggest most I’ve visited I. Türkiye. It’s supposed to be the biggest mosque between Istanbul and Saudi Arabia. The park around this mosque was my favorite place to walk in Adana.

It is one of the most important symbols of Adana, it has a fascinating structure and unique architecture, the Seyhan River flows past me, it is surrounded by the central park, which is a huge natural beauty, and it is one of the distinguished mosques that everyone should come and see.

Super nice and accessible. The inside is beautiful

A lovely historic bridge in the heart of the city, Adana. There are many historical places and museums around this bridge, so it is a lovely point to start visiting in the city 🥰

Adana Taş Köprü (Stone Bridge) was built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century A.D. It spans the Seyhan River (known in antiquity as Sarus) and is considered one of the oldest stone bridges in the world still in use today. Originally constructed with 26 arches, 14 of them are still visible and standing today. The bridge has been used by many civilizations over time, including the Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans, and it has undergone several restorations. Known for its architectural elegance and durability, the Stone Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks of Adana.

Nice view, especially when walking on it. The bridge has been built for more than 1800 years.

A beautiful, well-preserved bridge. You can stroll to the other end and back, just as people have done for many hundreds of years. A view of the huge mosque to the north makes for a nice view. There's not too much to do at the bridge, so I'd recommend next heading towards that mosque through the riverside park on the west bank there, as the nice part of town is in that direction. Though beware of aggressive beggars and peddlers at the mosque.

Nice view. I saw it when the river was dry. Still nice. Some traditional music players might be there. Adana Landmark!

The stone bridge is located in the center of Adana city. It is very crowded on holidays. Sometimes local music is played. The view of the mosque and Sihon river is very beautiful. You can take good photos. There is no entrance here, it is open to the public

The bridge still stands after all these years, it’s simple but beautifully constructed, unlike those ugly bridges today. On the opposite site of the bridge, take sometime to walk the old town and the Ataturk museum.

Very nice place to visit, beautiful view. The water spring has very delicious water. Don't forget to sit inside the water or at least put your legs inside.

Very busy joint , parking is abit of an issue. Park at the top. Parking is like 10 lira. Make sure to bring your bottles to fill up. The water is so pure and cold. They have a little market there. The tree is very old. It's a must see

Perhaps the biggest plane tree I've ever seen in my life, definitely several hundreds of years old. An absolute must see for everyone.

Locals mostly come for the holy water, but for a tourist there is nothing much to see. A good picnic place to visit with your family. But too crowded, eventhough it was drizzling when I visited there still a lot of people. They also sell some food that tastes just fine.

3000 year old tree. The legend says Moses and Hızır passed this location on the route to the Moses mountains, and Moses stabbed his staff to the earth. When it came back, there was a spring (with holy waters) and a tree, sprang from the wooden staff. Now the tree and the nearby spring are protected, and there are coffee shops around. It’s on the route to Vakıflı, so , why not ?

Nice gözleme. Nice tree. Very nice scenery. Bad road. Bad parking. Tiny souvenir bazar

2K old plane tree well maintained. Turkish coffee served under the orange trees was a great pickmeup. Story of the region is interesting and highly complex since the beginning of time.

Very nice museum. It has the biggest Mosaic collection in the world. Plan to spend at least 2.5 to 3 hours. It has a nice cafe to relax inside the museum as you exit. Parking was an issue for us. Besides the amazing mosaics spend some time at th sarcofagus section.

I couldn't imagine the amount of historical and archiological findings in this area. The museum was a trip to the history of the rigion. Amazing collection pf mosaic and marble sculptures. It is a must to see for Hatay visitors. Update: more sections are opened, and more mosaic is in display.

One of the great museums you can ever visit, huge and divers collection. Can't be missed if you in Antakya visting it is a must. However, it needs minimum two hours so make sure you have enough time when you go there.

An excellent museum with displays relating to all historic times. The collection of mosaics are incredible and there are some very well preserved sarcophagus. Well worth a detour to visit, also do not miss the the Hotel museum

One of the very most important museum in Turkey. It represent the life of the caveman and the life of the mythological histories.. There are lots of articles and objects belong to that lifetime and history. Make sure you hear all the history of the items. Dont miss it.. Also dont miss the "live your life" Mosaic..

The museum was moved last year to here. Previous place of this museum was in city centre but not big enough but new place is more bigger but far from city centre. I love the chronological path in the museum first path starts with cage life of humans and ends with modern day. Mosaics are well preserved and mosaics were like photographs. The only disadvantage of this path I couldn't find path milestones as described it was complex for me to understand how designated path goes. I started area 1 and I found myself at area 13 after 30 minutes but I think that was my fault that's why I give 5 star. When you see 480p resolution mosaics you understand why I gave star.

An impressive museum with a variety of exhibits about the area's very old history. I have been to many museums in Europe and this one could easily be in one of its capitals. The finds from the Hittite period are particularly impressive, as is the quality and massiveness of the mosaics from the Roman period. Worth it!

Claimed to be first cave church. Interesting to visit but not worth the fee of 8 eur.

If you were expecting something incredible - you will be disappointed. If you were expecting something epic - this is not about this place. This is one of the places where Christianity was born, just a cave in the rock where Peter preached, just a place, beautiful in its own way, but these are definitely not the great churches of the Middle Ages. This is a greater place, one of which Christianity began.

This place, although is small, should be visited for the historical value that it has. As the first church in the world, and another historical site in a city that dates back to the first civilised city-states of the world. It is better to have the museum card as it gives access to all museums and historical sites of Turkey for 1 year.

The church is a small hall in the mountain. You need to know a bit of history and significance of the place to enjoy the atmosphere, have a look at the city view and tolerate the groups of religious tourists ( not to mention a rather expensive entry fee) Take your time to go around the church (opposite direction of the main entrance). You shall find an amazing number of tunnels dug in the mountains and the figure carved into the mountain. Unfortunately, the path is not marked and cleaned, but it is definitely part of the amazing history where people had to prepare escape ways to flee religious persecution.

Amazing place. Worth visiting in Hatay. Tourist fee 8 euro.

Nice place to visit, returning back to the Apostles time and feel the history. The entry fees is high compared with other museums.

Easily accessible and worth a visit, but only if you're passing as there is not a great deal to see. Do not miss the Hatay archaeological museum and the Hotel museum, they are a must visit!!

Nice waterfalls with ancient historical connection. Lots of shops selling touristical items snd some restaurants.

Nature is spectacular and the water is soo refreshing. The place is nice, my experience with the restaurants there was not good at all, but the place is amazing

It might be a very nice place to see but the scene yaş been blocked and turnet to a mess by the cafe's and restaurants which are very worse, untidy and the roads are very bad and dusty. I thing the whole area should be taken under the control by the Government, Ministry of Tourism and the Municipality, otherwise and at the present state, it is shame of municipality.

Amazing place, the food and Nargila is not that good there, you can have a table in the cold water, near the water falls and enjoy the nature, there is also a small market were you can buy some good gifts , the place there is full of cars especially in the weekends you give your car to someone to park it for you and then continue walking to the cafes. Most of the cafes there serve wine and raki. The prices is fair.

It was surely an amazing piece of nature but the waterfall ways were filled with mass of concrete and dozens of restaurants and vendors are now sorounding the water. Some restaurants placed their tables right into the water so you can cool yourself both drinking and having your feet in icy water. The overall concept is kinda vulgar, the trash around isnt being collected properly so you dont want to walk away from the main routes. The decoration of some places is quite absurd... combining everything... Anyway it was a nice walk and we cooled ourselves after superhot Antakya.

A place where you can spend a time in a lovely place with sound of falling water that surrounds you.. belive me you dont wanna miss this one. Ow by the way you can also buy some souvenirs there...

One amazing spot which should not be missed. The fact, you can take off your shoes step into fresh water and enjoy delicious food, this place is amazing for ending the day.

An absolutely breathtaking experience. The Barouk Cedar Forest in the Shouf Biosphere Reserve is a place of peace, history, and natural beauty. The highlight for me was the massive cedar tree known as “Lamartine”—a living monument named after the French poet who was captivated by these ancient giants. Standing beneath it, you really feel the weight of time and nature’s majesty. The trails are serene, the air is crisp, and the whole forest feels like sacred ground. A must-visit if you’re in Lebanon—this is the heart and soul of the country.

The Shouf Biosphere Reserve in Barouk is Lebanon’s largest nature reserve, encompassing approximately 550 km²—about 5.3% of the country’s territory. It is home to around 25% of Lebanon’s cedar trees, including some of the oldest and most majestic specimens, such as the renowned “Lamartine” cedar.   Visitors often describe the reserve as a peaceful sanctuary, offering well-maintained trails suitable for all ages. The Barouk Cedar Forest, a part of the reserve, is particularly noted for its serene atmosphere and the unique shapes of its ancient cedar trees.   Beyond its natural beauty, the reserve plays a crucial role in conservation, hosting 32 species of wild mammals, 200 species of birds, and 500 species of plants. It also serves as an Important Bird Area and offers educational programs and guided tours to enhance visitor understanding of its ecological significance.   Whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a nature enthusiast, or someone seeking a tranquil retreat, the Shouf Biosphere Reserve in Barouk offers a rich and rewarding experience.

A must visit place of nature, showing how old, big and powerful trees that must make us humble. The place has guide and fees for entrance. It has toilets down at the entrance only, so void up everything before climbing. Distance between entering and high up reaches 700 meters. Some roles are there so try to stick to it. Hug the trees, they are 3500 years old.

I recently visited the Cedar Biosphere Reserve, and it was truly an awe-inspiring experience! The natural beauty of this sanctuary left me speechless. The abundant flora and fauna created a serene and captivating environment. The staff was extremely friendly and informative, offering simple yet informative explanations about the reserve's conservation efforts. Walking along the well-marked trails was a delight, and the breathtaking views from the observation decks were a highlight. I was delighted to spot various wildlife, like colourful birds and graceful deer, in their natural habitats. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable journey. I appreciated the clear signs and easy-to-follow maps, ensuring I didn't get lost in this vast paradise. Overall, the Cedar Biosphere Reserve is a perfect destination for nature lovers of all ages. Whether you're a seasoned environmental enthusiast or just seeking a peaceful retreat, this reserve won't disappoint. I left with a sense of wonder and gratitude, knowing that such protected places exist for future generations to cherish and enjoy. A definite must-visit!

A stunning and massive reserve — a must-visit! Unlike the Cedars of God in Bsharri, which is much smaller, this forest is huge and full of beauty. The entrance fee is only $5 as a contribution, and it’s totally worth it. There are many trails to explore and breathtaking views all around. I highly recommend visiting, especially for nature lovers. If you’re planning to go hiking, make sure to go early in the day to enjoy the experience fully.

Amazing Lebanon! – ancient cedar trees over a thousand years old, set in a majestic mountain Barouk landscape and truly awe-inspiring place in Lebanon. A natural wonder that must be seen and visited!

Wonderful preserve. They have so many tracks. We took the shortest one because i had my children with me. There is so many things to do. They have a bunch placed under an old cedar tree where you can have a panoramic view of the preserve and from there you can listen to the sound of silence.. what a pleasure.. i loved it sooo much.. on our way to the lake we could see the baby cedars tree named after famous and none famous people how founded it.

Beautiful caves on the border between Israel and Lebanon. A great combination of turquoise water with white rock. A little pricey, but worth a quick visit. Partially accessible, the tour inside the caves is not wheelchair accessible.

Beautiful caves with clear blue water, and a pleasantly cool atmosphere inside — a perfect escape on a hot day. The beach just south of the caves is equally captivating, with plenty of fish and seabirds to watch. Entry is around 45 shekels for adults

Beautiful scenery at the northernmost point on the Israeli coast, just before the Lebanese border. Suggest you to go there early to avoid the masses, as the little cable car that will get you down has quite limited capacity.

As a native of this gorgeous area I feel privileged to share my review on this place. It's not my first time and definitely not the last, this site is a one of the gems of Israel. It is located at the north coast, a rare combination of men made and nature you have the chance to see a breath taking view, as well as go into the grottoes and walk through them. If you feel you want to see more, you always take a cart or a car and drive along the coast line and hopefully take a dip in the sea.

Beautiful natural wonder! On a clear day, you can see a very clear landscape of the sea and the beaches. Down the cable car and you get to see the waves crashing into the grottoes. Pretty fascinating. Best to order online and collect the tickets from the counter, as it is slightly cheaper One thing I would not recommend is the electric bike. It is a bit pricey, and the beach can be accessed by driving easily. Also note not to have too high expectations of the cable car. As you can see, it’s a really quick 30 seconds journey. It is meant to bring you from the top to the bottom quickly, not really a full view of the whole sea!

Location: at the top northeast of Israel, few meters from the border with Lebanon. Parking: lots of parking options. One of the most beautiful places to visit in Israel. If you like nature with sea you will enjoy the view and the walk along the coastline. There is not much to do there, you can take the cable car down where you can get to walk along the chalk cliff that opens up into an amazing grottos. You can also get into a theater that will display a movie about the place and how nature created such a spectacular cavernous tunnels. It is recommended to check their site for opening hours and also to buy tickets in advance.

Right next to the Lebanon border, this location is a beautiful hidden gem in Israel. Most of the grotto is a series of naturally formed tidal caves. The views are amazing from the top and inside the caves. However, the cable car going up and down is very limited in capacity. Our tour group ran into a school field trip, and had to wait over an hour.

First of all the entrance is free, which is a great plus for a place like this. Very nice view and beautiful gardens. Unfortunately isn't possible to visit the gardens on your own, but you have to wait for the guided tour (available in Jewish, Arab, English and Russian). A big no from my point of view is that you must stick to the high pace of the guides, so you have a very little time to enjoy the place and take some pictures, furthermore, the guide does not wait the group for the explanations, so if you waste one minute to take a photo, you'll miss the explanations about the place, the religion, etc.

The best thing to do in Haifa! The gardens are immaculate and run completely by volunteers. My husband and I went on a guided tour which was free. I definitely recommend going on the tour as this is the only way to view the upper terraces. An absolutely beautiful, peaceful place.

Some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. The Bahai faith is extremely welcoming and kind as you walk through the gardens at their holy site. Highly recommend going.

The Gardens are beautiful. First the top level is free to all great views of the Haifa bay and the Baha’i gardens and shrine from the top. However if you really want to experience the gardens then get tickets in advance. If you are in Haifa it should be a must. The tour is about 60 minutes. It is 750 steps down. You will have a guided tour in English if you want and can stop at about 4 levels. You cannot walk back up the steps. You can take a bus 136 -7 stops (I think you need a Rav Kav. Like a metro card to board the bus) to return you back to the top, or walk through the German Colony Blvd and get a taxi. It a bit of a walk but there are cafes along the way back to the Carmel mountain

An ordeal to get there unless by taxi or you're very, very fit to walk there as it's all uphill. Taxis are extremely expensive unless you can get a group together to share the cost. The view from the top, however, is fantastic, providing panoramic views of the Haifa Bay area.

If you are in Israel, definitely make an effort to go here. The tour is interesting, the religion itself is interesting enough to learn about. Anyone from any background or creed can take something away from this group of people. In terms of the actual gardens themselves, they are some of the most immaculately kept and diverse plants that you will ever lay your eyes on. Everything is kept perfectly, down to the stones on the ground that you are walking on. As you descend, you will feel yourself appreciating the beauty more and more as you look back at each level that you pass. Take the time to explore the gardens and learn a little about the Bahai people You will not regret it.

During the month of November, the gardens are a burst of bright color in a city with very few gardens blooming. Exquisitely manicured, the gardens are beautiful with many plantings of bright reds and other amazing colors. There are nineteen terraces that extend up the northern slope of Mt. Carmel. The golden dome Shrine of the Bab, is the resting place of the Prophet Herald of the Bahai faith. Impressive.

Gorgeous location, despite not spotting many birds at this time. A wonderful place to picnic and spend the day. A golf cart is recommended around the track, but bare in mind it has to be returned within 1.5h.

A wonderful and unique place. A birdwatcher's dream specially during migration time.

A unique place for cycling and hiking

It's perfect at all seasons. If you rent binoculars or have an amazing camera,you can spot amazing creatures nearby.

Very peaceful not a lot of ppl on a Thursday afternoon. there were some birds to watch, though its out of season (june). A lot of nutrias, donkeys and gamus. Enterece is free, and its possible to rent an electric car or bike. I used my electric skateboard and the route was very smooth. Beautiful sunset and everything is very green.

Very interesting and worthwhile place to visit in Spring or Fall. Here's some background: When the State of Israel was declared in 1948 the Hula valley was a swamp plagued by malaria. In 1951 an extensive engineering project drained the swamp in order to enable agriculture. The swamp became a flourishing region with settlements, orchards, fish ponds and other crops. In 1995 1,000 dunams of land in the Hula valley was reflooded. The valley is located on the Syrian-African rift and today is visited by 500 million birds of 390 species in spring and fall. You can see the birds there, as they migrate from Europe to Africa and back, 15,000 of the 35,000 cranes spend the winter in the Hula park. This has made the area an internationally acclaimed area for bird watchers. The nature reserve is named after the Hebrew word for the sea bulrush found here, Agamon Hahula. This is the nothernmost point in the world where they're located. In addition to the birds there are interesting plants and animals. I saw a Coypu (Natria)- semi acquatic rodent. Some endangered species have been reintroduced. Entrance to the Hula Agamon is free. There is a 10km paved trail that goes around the area. Bicycles and golf carts are available for hire, and there are also guided tours. I knew that the main migration season was over when I dragged myself out of bed on a gray and dreary day to drive up North to the Agamon Hahula. Upon arrival it transpired that the next guided tour would be in 3 hours time and we didn't want to wait. We opted to hike the trail and I am pleased that we did because we would have missed some of the things we saw like the Ibis and Coypu. We heard a lot of birds and saw some, particularly cranes and Hoepoe birds. I am sure there are many more in migration season. We found an abundance of fruit like mulberries and figs. As we reached our car after the hike it started to rain!

If you are a bird fan, thats one of the best places in Israel for birds watching, migrating birds from Africa to Europe and back, mostly water fowls stop here to rest before continuing their journey

a really beautiful well groomed garden in an amazing slice of nature with a strong and important connection to Jewish and Israeli history. the garden itself and the surrounding panoramic views are something to behold, and the fact this is the final resting place of Baron Rothschild and a memorial to other Rothschild family members make this place a worthwhile destination. very enjoyable on a day with good weather. not to mention entry is free (though parking is not).

Beautiful park as always! I've visited many times, and it never fails to leave a great impression. The flowers are colorful and well-kept, the trees and green areas are lush, and the roses smell amazing. It's a lovely place to walk around, relax, and enjoy nature. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the water areas - they could use a bit more care and maintenance. Still, it's a wonderful and peaceful park that's always fun to visit.

Perfect visit for the open space, we'll maintained gardens combined with the modern history of Israel (well, compared to the rich history of the land, I'd say late 18th-20th century is modern:) It's 30nis for private car, so best to join and not drive each with thier own car. There is the site website which gives lots of info about the gardens and the connection and history to Baron Rothchild, which is buried in the gardens center. The trail is well paved and will fit anyone including wheelchairs. There are organised toilets at the entrance and water fountains inside. No pets or food allowed in the fardes, but yes to the outer trails. These are memorial living gardens and not picnic area. Outside the gardens there are trails which are also great to hike and some take you westward to amazing views over the Mediterranean. You can spend half a day mixing a hike to the cliff and then the quite pastoral gardens + coffee break or breakfast at the dairy restaurant there. Great with kids too, perfect for couples and a must place if you stay in Zichron Yakov (or if you want to have a day tour to this area - then Ramat Handiv, then Zichron and throw in a visit to one of many good wineries in the area). Note, there are openings hours, it's not open all the time. I think it's best visited toward late winter- spring as the gardens are at thier best. But there is lots of trees and shade so also during summer. The outer trails - they do not have shade so hot summer days is less advised. The whole place is very well managed and there is a usefull information point near the entrance at the parking lot with maps etc.

Gan Hanadiv - The generous's garden, named after Baron Rothschild, next to Zichron Yaakov, an hour from Tel Aviv. Lovely gardens with a few ponds and fountains and the tomb of the Baron and his wife. Lovely for a Saturday stroll with the kids. Next to it, there are a few nice easy trails, and Zichron Yaakov with some good restaurants.

Very beautiful park for a short 30-60 minutes hike. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The plants variety is ok - they could add more exotic stuff. The "smells" garden is awesome! Officially the entrance is free but you would likely arrive with a car and will need to pay 25 NIS for parking.

Great walk for all ages and energy levels. Stopped here on Shabbat morning around 915am. We beat the crowd and heat. We only went to the memorial garden as my dad has issues walking (due for knee replacement). Beautiful gardens.

Ramat Hanadiv is a stunning garden that offers a peaceful and relaxing experience. The variety of plants and flowers is impressive and the well-maintained paths make it easy to explore. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A must visit in Damascus. For women, make sure to bring your own Abaya to wear before entering and praying at the mosque.

So much history and beautiful architecture. Was not busy when I visited. I could walk around and enjoy the art.

This is such a different, beautiful mosque with a long history - a mix of Persian and Ottoman detailing, so quite different from the blue ceramic tiling you see in other mosques. The courtyard and minaret are breathtaking. The inside is very spacious as well and can accommodate lots of visitors and prayers. Females are given brown cloaks to wear.

Loved it. I love the Israeli park system but this one in particular was a little annoying. It seems they’ve allowed to much of the world to deep into the antiquity; the amphitheater was dressed up for a concert and every where you turned there were concessions blasting junky western music.

We attended a performancr of the כבש ה-16 The site is very organized and copes well with the large crowd. If you are interested in a specific prrformer, it is definitely worthwhile to see it there.

Beautiful place. Very nice atmosphere and view. There are events here sometimes, so that’s fun. The restaurants are very expensive. I’d recommend taking a stroll there. If you only want to go into the grounds without going into the park itself, it’s ₪18 just to get in, so I’d advise going after 16:00 or 17:00, depending on when the park itself closes

Beautiful and rich in preserved history. If you like history, archeology and having a glimpse into how people in the past lived, these Roman ruins will give you a great view. It is worth the stop to see. This is an impressive Roman era ruin. It is vast and beautiful because it was a right next to the Mediterranean Sea. I enjoyed seeing all the first century arches, the ruins of Herod’s palace and bathhouse, the hippodrome, and the amphitheater. Going here is like walking into history. Paul and Peter from the Bible spent significant time in this place. Even if you are not a history buff, it is easy to imagine people living here and their way of live. It's also a home of amazing restaurants and craft galleries. A must visit.

A very well maintained historical archeological site allowing you to get a glimpse into the ancient Roman world. There is a lot of parking and the view of the see together with the remains is really special. The place is clean, has toilets, and many places selling food. The downside is that on sunny days large part of the park has no shade and it can be challenging and a bit too hot, eapecially with children

Love love love this city. So much to see and do. History and artifacts are everywhere. Definitely pack a hat, comfy walking shoes, sunscreen and water as there is lots of walking and exploring to do and it gets quite warm with little shade. Nice places to stop and eat overlooking the water but make sure to book if you want a window seat. Really cool place and a must see if you are in Israel. Highly recommend.

Went for a day trip here. Takes about 2 hours to explore it all. Can spend more time to relax by the port in restaurants within the park. Ruins from the Roman times..the view is enhanced by the sea besides. Two beaches nearby to add to the trip. Worth visiting for sure when in Israel or when a short one day vacation is what you are looking for.

Great place. Don't know how much of the original is still there. Great to see that it is still being used for concerts even today. Very impressive structure and would recommend checking it out if you are in the Caesarea National Park.

Very nice and interesting theater. Family friendly place, but you’ll need to keep your children very closed to you. There are no area for children to play, is better for ages and people who likes architecture and history. Historical site that is part of biblical events that helped to expand the message of faith. (Teatro Romano de Cesárea Marítima)

This place was so cool!! So much better than any review we read. Worth the day trip out to see.

An ancient Roman theater, well preserved through all the years. Today the theater in use for concerts of various artists, the acoustics of the ancient Roman builders still in effect.

Impressive theater with history. Try a concert here must be great.

Nice place. Historic place. Informative

Nice concert venue. If you’re going there for a concert, maybe try packing a pillow or something soft to sit on like a jacket because the stone seats can be kind of painful after a while. As a visit during the day, it’s nice but nothing to write home about. But definitely would appreciate cleaner toilets.

The rooftop provides a good view to Nazareth. Worth the visit to get some valuable historical insights on Nazareth as well.

Been there saw it from outside. Very close to the nazereth old market. Looks like an impressing house. Next time we'll come in the open hr's to visit.

I visited the center awhile back and wanted to write a review to encourage others to visit. An excellent multimedia biblical movie, a stunning presentation. Visiting the center was absolutely worthwhile (which is opposite the Basilica of the Annunciation of Mary). A very informative and beautiful experience. A must see!

A must visit place for tourists here in Nazareth. It's just right across the street to the Church Of The Annunciation. I'd recommend everyone to watch all 04 (15 minutes each) video clips in 04 different theaters before walking all the way up to the top level where you'll have a wonderful view of Nazareth from the above.

The Maria story is a must see, astonishing multimedia experience and powerful message.

The chapel is beautiful, and the people are too. Come for a coffee, quiet prayer, or an informative tour/multimedia show about the life of Mary of Nazareth. One of my favorite places in all of Nazareth.

The French community of the "Chemin Neuf" (New Way) takes care of the site built on ruins of a 1st century house, the neighbors of the Holy Family? offering a multimedia show on the life of Mary of Nazareth. A beautiful chapel sits on the roof top of the building facing the basilica of the annunciation. On the premessis a small artisanal shop & a Caffè (possible to book a meal in advance).

It's a must see for Christians and general public. However it is isolated in the middle of Nazareth which is currently suffering from bad management and disfunctual city services. Hopefully the city will improve and this beautiful site will shine again. Don't forget to bring something to cover the shoulders as respect to the holy site.

In my opinion, one of the most impressive and amazing churches in the world. The visit to the Church of the Annunciation is powerful and interesting, the structure is amazing. The church was established at the site where, according to one tradition, the Annunciation took place. The church has a variety of works of art in different styles from all over the world.

Beautiful, amazing, spiritual and peaceful place! As a Catholic being able to visit the place where The annunciation happened to the Virgin Mary was a simply wonderful and religious experience. The church is beautiful, on the exterior you can see images of the Virgin Mary for all different countries, worth to enjoy each one of them.

One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment. Another thing that I liked is an alley with the paintings and mosaics to the church from all over the world 🌎 One can find donations from the South America, India, and my homeland Ukraine 🇺🇦 It feels really good to find things related to your country when you are that far from it, especially when your country is under attack from the terrorist russian state. If you plan your visit in advance, I also recommend to bring coins and cash for the donations to support the church.

Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth, also known as The Catholic Church of the Annunciation, is the most impressive and spectacular site in the city and is considered to be one of the most holy churches for Christianity. Basilica of the Annunciation an outstanding building in the center of town, is built where it’s believed the house the Virgin Mary was. On the lower level is the most holy place – Mary’s cave, the cave in which, according to the Catholic-Christian tradition, Mary was visited by Archangel Gabriel and told her she is destined to carry Jesus in her womb.

a very special place with unique story. the church itself quite new and was built upon the ruins of the origins of st. mary...many illustrations from around the world were sent here for display and you sense that this is a piece of history. there is no entrance fee and many pilgrims come here for spiritual charging.

The most impressive church I’ve ever seen. It is modern, huge, tho it still preserve the old trails from Jesus’s time. Also, in the church’s yard, there are icons from all around the world, and it’s interesting to see different cultures picturing the holy family in their own way. You can visit the church for free, there is no fee.

Very interesting to learn how they discovered these ruins. The entrance fee is very cheap and they assign you a volunteer that gives you a tour either long or short depending on your time and it’s included with the entrance fee. I’m really happy to have insisted to come here.

It’s always a grace to come to these places and this one is especially precious as there has been so much invested into the archeological sight as well as into the new buildings. The church is especially stunning and build and created in stunning art and excellence. It is absolutely worth it going there and seeing and experiencing it first hand!

A very large spread out site on the sea of Galilee. Lots to see and learn. There is a local church body that also meets on the site and we met some people speaking in teaching so cool stories that helps bring available to life in a new way.

Second time I visited! This time, the mosaics, the painting of the woman touching the fringe of Jesus’ garment, the sculptures and the view from the chapel over the Sea of Galilee really hit home! I will be back for sure!

Fascinating place of archaeology, of a synagogue dated to the first century ac. Very good restoration and preservation of the building and it's surroundings. All people who have an interest in the history of this area, where Jesus and his disciples walked around will enjoy this site.

Thank you Celine and Father Kelly for such an informative yet passionate tour, thank you for your heart for Jesus. Magdala is certainly a place you can’t miss when visiting Galilee region. Scan the QR code here to schedule a guided tour.

Amazing place, considering the five stars but need to wait until construction is complete to get a full picture of the place. So much information to take place and such an important place, especially in this day and age, to truly recognise and commemorate the amazing woman of The Bible! The lady who seems to run the church was so relaxed, we had a fantastic chat with her and she is full of information and made the experience truely amazing! We learnt so much about the woman of The Bible and how many go unnoticed and somewhat unappreciated. The church was amazing, full with so much artwork mainly by woman, but also an amazing portrait by a male about the miracle that took place when the old woman touched Jesus' feet.

One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

Quiet no easy to get to in the south end of Netanya! You do not hear the lifeguard yelling all the time which is a good thing. Fairly clean area and lots of parking!

We had such a nice time! The life guards were great! Lots of chairs and tables. Clean beach and great water!

A very nice and wide sandy beach, the parking is only a short walk from the beach. Mostly clean with all typical facilities, toilets, shower, restaurant, chairs and parasol rentals. Surf club with surfboards to rent and surf lessons.

Long beach, nice, but not the best in Netanya

One of the best in Israel. Restaurant is closed for renovation until July but good food served. The sand is fine. Expect waves and have fun.

Great beach lovely atmosphere

Good sand with a bit of small rocks on it

Great with kids, mainly self swimming kids. A good thing would be to bring non slipping water shoes. There are verity of pools, and shades to sit next to them. The lifeguards talk too much and too loud unfortunately. My kids 6,9 really enjoyed it!

Beautiful hidden gem. Wonderful place for families and groups to spend the whole day. Free “dr Fish Spa” at many of the water entrance areas. Various pools for different swimming abilities. Will be packed in July and August but later September onwards was perfect!

We went midweek in May and again early June. Not crowded, the water is comfortably warm, crystal clear, an amazing shade of blue. The grounds are well kept, plenty of shade available. There's even a section where no bbq's are allowed, which is quite refreshing. Just about as close to paradise as you can get. Take plenty of water, swimming gear and sandwiches or buy at the shop.

Visited it on workday at November (weather conditions were perfect). The place was very quiet The water absolutely clean Super recommend I suspect that at peak season it can be overcrowded.

I recently visited Gan Hashlosha and had a fantastic experience! The natural beauty of the park is truly mesmerizing, with its crystal-clear pools and lush green surroundings. It's a perfect spot for families and nature enthusiasts. The facilities were well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed a relaxing day here, picnicking by the water and exploring the gentle streams. If you're looking for a serene escape from the city, Gan Hashlosha is definitely a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

Sheer magnificence. Our children’s favourite spot in Israel. We had to go back twice because they couldn’t get enough. Go when it’s warm enough to swim. No way you could ever be disappointed.

One of the best water holes in all of Israel! It would be wise to bring water shoes, sun screen, and of course, a lot of liquids. Be sure to keep an eye out for the small fishes in the pools. They like to nibble.

I've been to Beit She'an three different times on three different trips to Israel, usually in the late afternoon. It was very interesting, especially from the top of the hill, but also very hot, even with the strong wind that always seems to be blowing. The park is bigger than it looks so I would recommend carrying lots of water, more than you think you would normally need. The last time I was there they had installed beautiful stainless steel cold water drinking fountains in a few spots which I thought was just amazing.

Extraordinary Roman town, with middle east largest theater. If you come during the summer, bring plenty water, this place is hoter than Kuwait. Plan no less than 3 hrs to see most of the site, bring a hat beside water, there are water coolers on site at the entrance mainly

Nice spot to see some ancient history! It was great to be able to see what a city would have looked like. If you do stop in be sure to check out the Egyptian ruins at the top of the hill overlooking the entire city. Lots of remains of ancient ruins like the colosseum, public sanitary, the theater, the city etc, etc. The architecture is amazing and what’s left of the buildings tell an amazing story about its greatness. Extremely good Roman archeological site….for its shape and all well preserved ruins (many mosaics, good theater,….) it is absolutely at the level of Rome forums

Beit She'an's history spans millennia, beginning in the Chalcolithic period and featuring over 20 layers of settlement on its ancient tell. It was a significant site for the Canaanites, Egyptians, Israelites, Philistines (where King Saul's body was displayed), and Hellenistic Greeks, who renamed it Scythopolis. The city flourished under the Romans and Byzantines as a provincial capital but declined after a devastating earthquake in 749 AD, leaving behind extensive ruins of its Roman past. The work done here is first class, the ancient columns has been stood up again and the amphitheatre has been rebuilt. The explanation signage is excellent

Now this place was it! Back in the day!!! Theres a latrine with marble seats for your 🍑 and marble floor for your feet! It's very clear it was a hot spot for trade and for entertainment!!! Unlike the town on the hill right next to it....the short hike up is completely worth the view! Go here if in Israel!

Stunning remains of over 20 layers of civilization. Most notable are the recent Roman ruins. One can picture chariots heading up and down the main street. The 7000 seat theater is mostly standing and the original public bathrooms are nearby, what a gas! There is an entrance plaza, a large bathhouse, streets, shops, a bridge, a ritual compound and more. An earthquake in 749 shook the Roman temple and the huge columns fell. They still lay there and it's hard to imagine that this is all real and not replicas. Amazing experience.

Caesarea Philippi was a Roman and we're pagan ceremonies to the god pan were performed. Jesus visited it this site , it has become an important Christian pilgrimage destination. And where Jesus states: I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Important initiative for the preservation of Ramallah’s historical heritage! A great place to visit to understand the history of Ramallah and Palestine. The man who owns and runs the house is incredibly welcoming and friendly. There are also art exhibits downstairs.

This is one of the few houses in Ramallah remaining built in the classic Ottoman era style. It represents the beginnings of an effort to preserve Ramallah’s cultural heritage in the face of rapid development.

Zahran is doing a great work preserving the culture and nature all by his own which is really very inspiring. The place is a must for those who want to know more about Ramallah.

Ramallah has been “modernising” a lot and when you’re in the city centre you can’t really find much heritage sites, however this place gives you a good sense of the original life styles in the old days. The person running it is a volunteer who is of the 5th generation I believe that owns the house. It used to be a building shared by three families and their animals under the building. The structure of the building is kept the same but refurbished gently. He is a great host and offered us drinks and full explanation of the site as well his other projects. He is an independent Palestinian that is stuck between the Settlement of the Israelis and the “power struggle” of the Palestinians which allegedly due to corruption. The building has paintings and hand crafts for sale as memory which are beautiful and not too expensive. His future plans are to build a cultural library on top of the building. Definitely worth seeing.

Gallery displaying Palestinian artists with some paintings and various crafts for sale. Owner is classy and a great host.

Cozy museum, or rather a family home. The entrance there is free. On top of the free tour, the owner offers you tea or coffee and a lot of stories to carry with you back home.

Dar Zahran is one of my favourite places in Ramallah! It is a very interesting place, where you can learn more about the Palestinian culture and heritage. The owner is a very nice host, always available to provide information about this beautiful historic building. It is worth visiting also for the art exhibitions and the gallery with old pictures of Ramallah. Highly recommended!
