What an amazing experience to stand on the same shore as Jesus and the Disciples. It is a beautiful place and there are some well preserved sites. If you get to visit, take a boat tour, eat the St. Peter fish (Mango Tilapia) for sale all over and visit the historical sites.

"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.

The Patara Antique Theatre is a well-preserved historical site that offers an immersive experience for history enthusiasts. This ancient Lycian city boasts impressive ruins, including a grand amphitheater and Roman bath complex, showcasing remarkable architectural prowess. The theater itself is considered one of the best-preserved examples from antiquity, offering an atmospheric and picturesque view. While it was once located near the coast, the sea has since receded.
The acoustics here are incredible. We recommend arriving early to enjoy it. Patara is a unique place with history and energy. Very beautiful complex antique-city right next to the sand dunes and the sea. When you come here you will explore nature, antiquity.
Kristina T — Google review
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.
Vincent O — Google review
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

Kurşunlu Waterfall

Mentioned on

National reserve
Nature & Parks
Kurşunlu Waterfall is a stunning natural wonder situated in Kursunlu Nature Park near Antalya, Turkey. The park spans 587 hectares and boasts picturesque picnic areas alongside the Aksu River tributary. Visitors can revel in the tranquility of the lush surroundings as they explore well-maintained walking paths that wind through the verdant forest. The waterfall itself is a captivating sight, framed by vibrant greenery and offering a serene escape into nature.
kurşunlu waterfall is an incredible natural wonder with a stunning view. the wildlife is well-protected, and the paths are designed to minimize damage to nature. however, tourists and visitors often litter the area, and i think there should be more frequent warnings. especially in the forested picnic areas, there was a lot of smoke. despite the signs, people unfortunately didn’t follow the rules, which is a major downside. aside from this, it is absolutely a place worth visiting and experiencing.
Cemre — Google review
We were expecting a quiet and empty park from what we saw on google maps photos but it was very crowded and loud. Very nice place though with beautiful streams, falls and gorgeous trees. Ideal for family picnic as well with ducks, turkeys strolling around. Also cheap 75TL per person. Not so perfect for those seeking silence and pure nature
Karolina H — Google review
I had high hopes for Kurşunlu, but left a bit underwhelmed. The waterfall itself is smaller than expected, and the pond below was murky—not quite the turquoise dream you see in photos. What really took away from the experience was a professional photoshoot monopolizing the best photo spot by the water. It felt more staged than serene. The surrounding greenery is still lovely, and the park has potential, but it could use better maintenance and more mindful visitor management. A decent stop if you're nearby, but not a must-see in Antalya.
Laurence H — Google review
Its a really nice place to get a little break from the crowded city. Having a picnic, or just walk around a little. You can eat here a good gözleme or other types of small food. There is a coffeeshop in the woods with an amazing terrace. Worth to visit.
Tuska D — Google review
A very beautiful spot, especially if you appreciate natural scenery and waterfalls. The area isn't very large, but it's definitely worth a visit for the peaceful atmosphere and picturesque views. If you're in the area and enjoy nature, this place shouldn't be missed.
Oussama A — Google review
A very good place to visit, the people there are very helpful. Good thing that we came early in the morning so it's less crowded. The only downside is the transpo. If you are a tourist like us, it is hard to go back to where we came from due to the unpredictable sched of the minibus.
Ma. G — Google review
A beautiful relaxing place that is calming. The car park is free and the tickets were TL70 per adult. There are MANY stairs and paths to get lost on. There are the usual eating places.
A G — Google review
Waterfall itself is beautiful. Walking path around is beautiful. But you know temperatures in Turkey during summer months is unbearable, so why do you allow overly overly expensive restaurants to operate on the spot? I have great experience with Turkish hospitality for many years of travelling, hence it amazes me how greedy the restaurants are on top spots. Sure, we can pay little extra for convenience not carry own sandwich and juice but these prices are something so mind-blowingly extravagant, plus waitress service is appalling. Extra star for cheap entrance to the area of 75lira. Also, on the lower tiny falls I did my good citizen bit to clean out some plastic trash.

Perge Ancient City

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Perge Ancient City, located just 18km north of Antalya, is a significant site in ancient Pamphylia. It has a rich history dating back to the Hittites around 1500 BCE and was inhabited continuously until the Byzantine era. The city was ruled by various powers including the Persians, Athenians, Alexander the Great, and the Romans.
Great half a day out. You can catch the tram and a taxi but getting a taxi back may be difficult. Carry water as there is only a cafe at the entrance and the park is quite big to get around bring an umbrella as shade is limited. Amazing for photos.
Michael M — Google review
My friend and I decided to visit Perge at the last minute, and it turned out to be a really great experience. We didn’t have tickets in advance, but when we arrived around noon, we didn’t have to wait in line at all, everything was quick and smooth. Tickets were 11 euros each, purchased on-site. I definitely recommend bringing water, as even in autumn the temperatures can be quite high. The site is beautiful, so bring sunscreen and a hat. Right outside the park, there are small shops selling hats and souvenirs. You can explore the whole park in about two hours at a comfortable pace, but if you’re like me and enjoy taking photos, videos, and reading all the inscriptions, you’ll probably need at least three hours. Signage inside the park is limited, so it’s a good idea to do some research beforehand or download information about the city’s history. There is also an area across the street from the main park that is technically outside the park but was open when we visited. Parking requieres a fee The site itself is incredibly well-preserved. Some sculptures, according to my friend who has visited multiple times, have been moved to the Antalya Archaeological Museum, which is currently under renovation. The museum houses original pieces up to 2–3 meters in size. We visited around noon on a weekday, and getting there was much faster than we expected. We thought it would take 45 minutes, but there was no traffic and we arrived very quickly. Overall, Perge is a stunning and well-maintained archaeological site and well worth a visit!
Gabriela H — Google review
Interesting but poorly managed site Perge Ancient City is an interesting and impressive place to visit, full of history and beautiful ruins. However, tourists are charged much more than locals for entry, which feels unfair. The audio guide wasn’t available on the day of our visit, and there are very few signs or explanations to help visitors understand the site. Additionally, the toilets were dirty and had no toilet paper, which was quite disappointing for such an important tourist attraction. Overall, it’s worth seeing, but the experience could be much better with cleaner facilities, clearer information, and fairer pricing.
Sandra C — Google review
Impressive place worth to visit. Ancient large stadium for 12K visitors is good. Long streets decorated by numerous columns. Pity that the theatre is closed for visitors. But one should visit the Perge in my opinion. November is a perfect time to explore. Just a few people around, quiet and not too hot.

One of the best conserved ancient city I have ever seen. It literally takes hours to really go through the site. Went there with a guide in the early morning. It was empty and we had the whole all site almost to ourselves. The Gate of Alexander, the main street and the Agora are mindblowing.
Johan S — Google review
We visited Perge Ancient City on a weekday and it was very easy to reach from the city center by tram. From the tram station, it’s about a 1.4 km walk to the entrance. The archaeological site itself is astonishing — the ruins are well-preserved and the area is incredibly impressive to explore. There is also a small café and a merchandise shop where you can take a break and relax. Overall, a beautiful and historic site that’s definitely worth visiting, especially with such convenient access from central Antalya.
Budi R — Google review
This is one of my regular ancient cities to visit because it is so close to the city center. It was lovely to immerse myself in the history while also enjoying the calm nature surrounding this city. It is easy to walk around. I would recommend you to experience it during sunset hours and climb to the scenic view area at the end of the main market street.

Titanic Deluxe Lara

Hotel
Outdoor Activities
Titanic Deluxe Lara is a modern resort that resembles an ocean liner and offers a variety of amenities. Situated in Antalya, Turkey, the resort overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and features lush gardens and soft sandy beaches. Guests can enjoy top-rated 5-star facilities for land and water activities, sports options, a world-class spa, and diverse dining experiences. The resort also provides day and night entertainment for relaxation and recreation.
This is our first time on holiday in Turkey and staying at the Titanic. What can i say, the hotel is amazing and great for all ages. I have a 9 year old and 3 year old and both have had an amazing time. The water flumes are brilliant and the pool staff are great and attentive. The lifeguard Seyit is amazing with the kids and on the ball. We enjoyed his splash lessons and show he put on. We have been served by amazing poolside staff also. Drinks delivered to you on rollerblades and the amazing Eyüp made sure our cups were never empty. He was very polite and honestly amazing poolside service. The food in the restaurants is fab. A great selection for everyone and the lunch time Italian Al a carte was a personal fave. We also ate at the fish restaurant which was amazing. We were extremely full. We got a room upgrade when we arrived which was a lovely surprise and gave us some more space. We stayed in the annex part by the pool which was nice and quiet for the kids. The hotel is lovely and clean and we will definitely rebook for next year.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 We had a lovely stay at this beautiful hotel. Everything was spotlessly clean, the food was brilliant with plenty of variety, and there were lots of excellent facilities. The kids’ club was one of the best we’ve experienced — clearly a lot of thought has gone into how the hotel operates, and it shows. However, there are some areas that could be improved. The biggest issue for us was noise. The rooms are not very soundproof, and we struggled to sleep because we could hear everything from neighbouring rooms and corridors. Some guests were inconsiderate, with children running around and loud voices early in the morning. It would really help if the hotel placed notices reminding guests to keep noise levels down, especially during night hours. Another issue was smoking and vaping — both guests and staff were doing this around the children’s pool and bowling area. Designated smoking zones would make a big difference here. We also noticed that a few staff members looked disengaged at times, and one cleaner in the restaurant was walking around with a broom but not actually cleaning. In addition, there were no lifeguards present at the pools, and no wristbands or visible security measures in place, which felt concerning. Overall, the hotel has a lot going for it — great food, facilities, and family-friendly features — but addressing the noise and a few operational issues would make it truly exceptional.

We have had the most amazing stay at the Titanic hotel. The facilities are brilliant and the food is plentiful. We are particularly fond of “the roller skate” bar man. We never had to leave our sun longer and were never without a drink in hand! My children particularly enjoyed the slides, although they found the main pool a little too cold at times. All the staff were so helpful….from the bar staff to the cleaners. The hotel was kept beautifully clean and tidy too. We shall definitely be back!! Thank you for the most wonderful stay 5*

Really loved our stay here, however the rooms can do with some improvement - they’re smaller than they look in the photos and the shower always always leaks. My child fell multiple times from the water leaking out of the bathroom. I had to lay towels everywhere and call maintenance but there’s a flaw somewhere there. Pools were lovely, So was the kids area! However, food was tasty but after 5 days there it became boring and repetitive. Menus need to be varied, most of the food is the same everyday. Also much smaller food hall compared to some of the other Antalya hotels. The location of the hotel is excellent, shops nearby, taxis, everything. And service and staff were really nice. The beach was gorgeous. I would go here again- thank you!

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..
Kerem T — Google review
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!

Church of St Peter

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Church of St Pierre is a significant historical site located in Antakya, Turkey. Carved into the side of Mt. Staurin and dating back to 1100 CE, it is one of the world's first cave churches and holds great importance in Christianity. It is believed that St. Pierre held the first religious meeting here to spread Christianity, making it a center of Catholicism and a pilgrimage site for Christians. The church also houses a museum and offers stunning views of the city.
Very old and historical church. Located on the hill so you have to walk to the top. The access if very easy. Actually, the inside is just a cave. I think the attractiveness is the rich-history behind this building.
Muhammad L — Google review
Claimed to be first cave church. Interesting to visit but not worth the fee of 8 eur.
Aleksey P — Google review
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.
Сергей П — Google review
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.
W G — Google review
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.

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.
Wajeeh D — Google review
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.

Rosh HaNikra Grottoes

Park
Geologic Formations
Rosh HaNikra Grottoes is a stunning natural wonder located on the Israel-Lebanon border. Visitors can take a steep cable car ride down to the grottos, where they can witness the breathtaking sight of bone-white limestone cliffs meeting the deep blue sea. The wave-sculpted cave mouths and turquoise waters create an awe-inspiring experience.
The site was really worth seeing. 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. Beautiful views, gondola takes you down to the grotto entrance area. We also paid to take a golf cart on our own along the seaside where you can choose to swim. 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. Unique cave formations created by the sea. Amazing view of Israel's northern coast. All within a stone's throw of the Lebanese border. Arrived at the end of the day but still managed to see the caves and ride the cable cars. The caves were very impressive and the tide was coming in so the sea sounded like thunder. Well worth a visit🥰🥰🥰

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
Emir H — Google review
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.
Cedric M — Google review
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.
David O — Google review
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!
Nahshon — Google review
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.
Rabie M — Google review
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.

Baháʼí Garden Haifa

Mentioned on

Pilgrimage place
Nature & Parks
The Baháʼí Garden in Haifa is a must-see attraction, drawing over half a million visitors annually. It features 19 terraces with geometric flower beds that ascend to the stunning domed shrine on Mount Carmel. The gardens offer gravel-covered paths and breathtaking views of Haifa Bay. To make the most of your visit, consider joining the free Panorama Tour for an informative experience about the Baha faith, garden structure, and beliefs.
A must see if you are in Haifa. One ofvthe most beautiful places I have been to, the entire environment is like a work of art. During normal visiting hours you can go to the top, middle area (near the shrine) or bottom just to look around. But if you want to walk down the garden you need to book a free tour ahead of time, which isn't really that big of an issue. The tour only covers the top levels of the garden to the shrine, but they offer multiple a day in multiple languages (English, Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian). At the end of the tour you can even go inside part of the shrine. They also had an evening event while I was there where you could freely walk around the lower levels at night. I don't know how often they do these events, but it was definitely cool to be able to see the whole gardens start to finish, even if it had to be done in two parts. Highly recommend this location if you are in Haifa.
Ezra D — Google review
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.
Giovanni — Google review
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.
Benjamin P — Google review
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
David E — Google review
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.
Fiona V — Google review
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.
Trevor — Google review
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.

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.

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
Danielle I — Google review
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.

A real treasure of the nature in the land of Israel. From above, you only (hardly) see a green line on dry volcanic hills. But as you come up and descend to a narrow canyon, you find yourself in a rain forest, with huge trees, lians, waterfalls, and traces of wild creatures. Indiana Jones themed park? No, it's real.

The stream is beautiful, majestic even. The waters are clear and the trail is very nice. However, you cannot enter it at the main site to swim, so if you’d like to swim you should visit the Syrian tank site next to the main reserve

Absolutely stunning! The beauty of the north in all its glory, amazing scenery, fresh cool water, a dazzling waterfall, very well preserved, rich historical background, and many more things to enjoy...

Beautiful and very different in our landscape. It's reserved also very well. Great for families as there are also short and long routes. Due to the Corona you need to reserve in advance your visit, inside its not crowded at all. There are two sites to visit, going between is by car or hiking within the reserve.

Beautiful parks setting. Places to picnic. Unique location of a cave shrine to the Greek god Pan. It's fascinating that Jesus chose this place to tell his disciples who He was, that he would build His church on "this rock", meaning Himself as Jesus, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. As such, the pagan people beloved at that time that this location was an entrance to hades because of the seemingly bottomless pool of water in Pan's cave.
Sherri D — Google review
This place is great! I'll start with the downside - there are many stairs to go down and then up. If you are old or disabled that might be a problem. Otherwise it is great fun. Most of the walk is near the gushing water, in the shade, with nature all around. And there are also platforms right over the water that yoi can stand on and be really close to the stream. It was great for me, my wife and 2 children, ages 1.5 and 4.5.

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!

Permanently Closed
Religious destination
Nature & Parks
Centre International Marie de Nazareth is a cultural complex located near the Basilica of the Annunciation. It is managed by Chemin Neuf, a Roman Catholic community from France, and serves as a space for ecumenical work and inter-religious dialogue. The center features an archaeological site with ruins dating back to the First Temple period, a rooftop garden offering panoramic views, and a café.
Go here! Visiting the center will add to your experience of Nazareth. The best part: the very friendly and smart receptionist guy who will tell you about the ruins and architecture of ancient Nazareth. The 4 videos about the story of Mary and Jesus are interesting if you don't yet know the story. Otherwise you will not learn anything new. The view from the roof terrace is very nice. A good quiet spot to enjoy the sun for a few moments. Entrance fee is donation based.

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 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.

Church of the Annunciation

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Church of the Annunciation, a modernist Roman Catholic basilica, was built in 1969 on the believed site of the Annunciation. The Franciscan-run church stands out in the Old City with its lantern-topped cupola. It's one of two churches claiming to mark where Mary received news of giving birth to Jesus. The church features icons of the Virgin Mary from around the world and offers electric candles for lighting, an eco-friendly alternative.
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. 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. Amazing place and a must visit church when you are in Nazareth. People can go in a quiet place inside and pray. There are also a lot of religious artworks displayed outside from different countries. The thing i liked more was the collection of Maria portrait from all over the world. I strongly recommend to visit it and maybe take some pictures at night, because with all the lights on it's amazing.
Alex D — Google review
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.

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.

The Sea of Galilee, also known as the Kinneret, holds great significance as a Christian pilgrimage site where Jesus is believed to have performed miracles. Travelers can explore the surrounding areas such as the plain of Armageddon and the ancient Biblical city of Megiddo. The stunning pastoral vista from the southernmost point offers a breathtaking view of the sea with the Golan Heights in the backdrop.
What an amazing experience to stand on the same shore as Jesus and the Disciples. It is a beautiful place and there are some well preserved sites. If you get to visit, take a boat tour, eat the St. Peter fish (Mango Tilapia) for sale all over and visit the historical sites.

"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.

The Israel Children's Museum, established in 2001, offers a unique and interactive experience for kids. With hands-on exhibitions and activities, children can learn through storytelling, imagination, and sharing. The museum features guided exhibits that provide educational and social opportunities for visitors of all ages. From workshops tailored to different age groups to immersive experiences like the 'Invitation to Silence' program, this museum offers a diverse range of activities that cater to both kids and adults.
Great, unique workshops for kids, for each age range there's a different coarse. Great place to take the kids - innovative, immersive, and interactive. They have "paths" with different themes for various age groups, including adults. The experiences are extensive, (2 hours the beatles one), so don't expect action all the time, but you and the kids will have great moments. Great opportunity to understand how a blind person feels. Really have an appreciation for what they go through. Dialogue in the dark is an amazing experience. Inspirational and unique.

Great place for swimming. Lots of fun to be had here as the water is comfortable year round. The day was comfortable warm and the water had the right temperature. And the colour of the water I found spectacular. Fantastic mountain retreat with crystal clear freshwater and an amazing back massaging waterfall. The place has a large pool suitable for swimming. It has numerous colored fishes. The open space is of grassland and a suitable place to spend time. The reflection of trees in the water is breathtaking.

National park encompassing the substantial & well-preserved ruins of an ancient Roman city.
Spectacular place to visit. Spent a good afternoon exploring in the heat and the shade. It was exciting to see the excavation. I visited the bathhouse and public latrines area. The main street was exciting as well. I didn't climb the hill and focused my time in the town.

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.

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
Alex D — Google review
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!!!

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.

Arafat Mausoleum is a modern and engaging museum that offers valuable information about the Israeli occupation and Palestinian history. It serves as an interesting monument to the renowned fighter for Palestinian rights and the establishment of their country. The site is impressive, clean, and almost free to enter, making it worth a visit for those with historical interests. Although there may not be an abundance of information available, it still provides a worthwhile experience for visitors seeking to learn about this significant part of history.
Beautiful museum, which does a thorough job explaining the struggle of the Palestinian people since the beginning of the Israel state. Everything was well done, very informative, definitely worth going to learn more about the Israel/Palestine struggle and to learn more about the ongoing effort of the Palestinian people

This is an excellent and well done museum. It mix very good between audiovisual and text contents. The first part is dedicated to the origin of the conflict between Israel an Palestine. Very explicative and necessary to understand the causes of this conflict. The next parts combines historical issues and the life of Yasser Arafat. I recommend that you spend at least three hours to see the whole museum and take profit of all the resources.

I had a wonderful experience here from start to finish. The ladies at reception were friendly and helpful. The interactive map in the orientation room is SO COOL, and the artwork is a masterpiece. While I already knew a lot about the P-I conflict, I loved the way they laid out the history/timelines, and talked about how other countries played a role. The poems that are weaved in between artifacts and information add a whole other dimension. I also appreciated the narration of the section about the siege. The guide gave short and simple blurbs/facts about the layout and each room, so I understood exactly what I was looking at.

Be sure to visit early and with fresh legs. There is a lot of information on offer. The museum attempts to provide an objective view of the political situation of the past half century. The museum is new, has numerous exhibits and of course is the resting place of Yasser Arafat. My only critism is that I wanted to rest after an hour or so - please provide some seating to rest.

This museum was interesting but it was more of an exhibition display rather than a museum, but it did contain lots of historical information about the history of Palestine. It’s worth checking out if you have time in the city. The tomb is guarded 24/7 so it’s interesting to see that in real life.

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman is a captivating showcase of classic cars, motorcycles, and even a private plane from King Hussein's personal collection. It offers a fascinating blend of vintage vehicles and Jordan's rich history. The museum features an impressive array of vehicles used by members of the royal family, including Sherif Hussein bin Ali, King Abdullah, King Talal, and King Hussein. Visitors can marvel at rare and fast vehicles like the Stirling Moss as well as iconic Rolls Royces and motorcycles.
Very clean organized cool museum, 5 stars all the way. Cars are rare, each car has a story that involves the late king Hussein Bin Talal (طيب الله ثراه). Some cars I lived old enough to see it in person when we lived in Dabouq close to Hashemiya palace. He had good taste in cars.

Chetan L — Google review
The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman, Jordan, is a must-visit for anyone interested in cars, history, or Jordan’s royal heritage. Established in 2003 by King Abdullah II as a tribute to his father, King Hussein, the museum showcases over 80 vehicles, including rare classics, motorcycles, and modern sports cars, some dating back to 1909. Each car is impeccably maintained and accompanied by detailed historical context, photos, and multimedia that tie the vehicles to key moments in Jordan’s history, from royal processions to diplomatic gifts like a 1956 armored Cadillac from President Eisenhower. Highlights include the Mars Rover from The Martian, filmed in Wadi Rum, and iconic cars like the Ferrari F40 and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren “Stirling Moss.” The museum’s air-conditioned, well-lit space in Al Hussein Public Parks makes it a comfortable visit, even in summer. The layout is intuitive, and the staff is welcoming, often greeting visitors with warm smiles. It’s not just for car enthusiasts—even non-gearheads will enjoy the storytelling, which offers a unique lens on Jordan’s modernization and royal legacy. I spent over an hour captivated by the blend of automotive craftsmanship and historical narratives. Entry is affordable at 5 JOD for tourists (3 JOD for residents), though the Jordan Pass isn’t valid. It’s open daily except Tuesdays from 10 AM to 7 PM, with free parking available. My only critique is the slightly remote location, so plan for a taxi or car. Overall, it’s a fascinating, well-curated experience that’s worth fitting into your Amman itinerary, whether you’re a car lover or just curious about Jordan’s past.

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman was a truly enjoyable experience for me as an automobile enthusiast and admirer. The collection is impressive—not just in terms of the variety of vintage and modern vehicles, but also in how it reflects Jordan’s royal history and connection to automotive culture. From classic Rolls-Royces and rare motorcycles to cutting-edge concept cars, every exhibit is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully curated. What made the visit even more captivating was the storytelling—each car is tied to moments from King Hussein’s life and Jordan’s journey, adding a unique historical dimension.

A nice street in Amman full of old shops and restaurants. We went there for a walk and spent almost 2 hours jumping from one store to the other. Lots of shops who sell authentic stuff and many restaurants also serving all kinds of food

It may have been good. The old picture looked nice, it's nothing like it anymore, total waste of time, don't waste your time going to Rainbow Street.

A worthwhile destination if you’re looking for a little vibrancy in an otherwise monotone city. It’s not earth shattering, but has lots of little shops, bars, restaurants and liquor store. Time well spent.

Spent an afternoon on Rainbow Street and it was such a fun experience! The street is full of unique shops, cozy cafés, and great restaurants, making it the perfect place to wander, eat, and soak in the atmosphere. Whether you’re browsing or just people-watching, it has a lively, welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Amman.

Had heard a lot about it, but honestly found it a bit overrated. It’s a pleasant place for a walk, with a decent selection of shops and restaurants along the way. I did manage to pick up some nice souvenirs, which was a highlight. Overall, it’s a nicer and more relaxed experience compared to the busy city center, but not quite as impressive as I expected.

Sights & Landmarks
Amman Citadel is a renowned archaeological site in downtown Amman, boasting remnants of past civilizations and several notable buildings. Just below the Citadel lies Al-Balad, the old Downtown area where visitors can explore traditional Jordanian delights like rugs, cloth, kunafeh, Hashem (hummus and falafel), Zaatar, and perfumery stores. The citadel houses Jordan's Archaeological Museum with ancient assemblages from historic places around Jordan.
The Amman Citadel is a truly remarkable site that combines layers of history and culture. Walking through the ruins, you can feel the connection between ancient civilizations — from the local traditions to the legacy of the Roman Empire. The location itself is breathtaking, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of Amman that makes it a very special place to visit. In addition to the ruins and the view, there is also a well-organized museum on site. The museum is filled with fascinating artifacts and very important historical pieces that reflect Jordan’s rich cultural heritage. It adds great value to the visit, as you not only see the structures but also understand the history behind them. I highly recommend visiting the Amman Citadel — it is a place where history, culture, and stunning views come together, and it should be on everyone’s list when exploring Jordan The Amman Citadel is a truly remarkable site that combines layers of history and culture.

Our visit was on day 1 of Jordan pass, quite cumbersome. Rest of the experience was great, thanks to our guide giving in depth details of multiple era of transition this site has witnessed. There is a small museum having locally recovered treasure, and it’s one the best range of museums articles to experience right at the place of its recovery.

Panoramic Views and Ancient History at the Amman Citadel.. Perched on one of Amman's highest hills, the Citadel offers a captivating blend of history and breathtaking views that you won't want to miss. It's a must-visit when in the city, providing a magnificent panoramic outlook that includes the iconic Roman Theatre nestled in the valley below. The contrast between the ancient ruins on the hill and the bustling, modern city stretching out below is simply stunning. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with clear pathways and well-preserved structures that give you a true sense of walking through history. The most striking of these is the Temple of Hercules. While only parts of the colossal statue remain—most notably a giant stone hand—they give you a powerful insight into the scale and ambition of Roman architecture. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for an incredible vantage point, the Citadel is a rewarding experience. It provides deep insights into the history of Amman, and you can easily explore it with or without a guide. The informational signs are excellent, but a guide can also bring the stories to life with more detailed historical context.

The Amman Citadel is one of those places that takes your breath away not just because of the views, but because of the history that surrounds you. The ancient ruins are incredible to walk through, from the Temple of Hercules to the Umayyad Palace. It’s amazing to stand among structures that have been there for thousands of years and imagine all the civilizations that once called this place home. What I loved most was the mix of beauty and serenity. Stray cats wander the site, lounging in the sun or following visitors around like little guides. The view from the top is absolutely stunning you can see all of Amman spread out below, a blend of old and new. There’s also a small but fascinating museum at the Citadel that holds artifacts dating back to prehistoric times. If you love history, culture, or just a good sunset view, this place is a must-visit.

Amman Citadel is an Archiological site which has ruins from various civilizations. The site has a long history and many historical landmarks, dating back from bronze age (1200 BCE), to Roman period, Byzantine period and Umayyaad period (661-750 CE) are there. The site was mostly abandoned afterwards until the late 19th century. The site is mostly in ruins now, but very interesting to visit it. Every important part is explained in boards in English and Arabic. The Jordan Archaeological Museum was on the Citadel hill has many beautiful collection of artifacts from all periods of history. Citadel is the most important part of Amman, must visit place.

Nice to walk around and have a look. The cafe was nice to sit down afterwards. But the people inside trying to sell things or try to trick you by insisting on guiding you or tell you «fun facts» then following you and asking for money ruins the mood abit.

Odeon Theater

The Odeon Theater, an intimate amphitheater constructed by the Romans in the 2nd century, offers 500 seats for open-air concerts. It is a significant venue for cultural events such as the Al Balad Music Festival, showcasing independent music projects from the Arab world. The festival provides a platform for emerging local Arab bands to engage with established musicians and present their work to Arab audiences.
Excellently preserves Roman theatre. Entry cost is cheap and includes the very interesting Folk Museum. Climb to the top of the theatre and get a feeling of what it must have been like to see a play almost 2,000 years ago. It’s also very lively with families

Part of the Roman theater of Amman. I filmed here numerous times. I always enjoy the acoustics. The government needs to do more to boost this place and bring in more tourists.

The Odeon Theater or the Winter Theater is a small Roman amphitheater located in the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, where the Great Roman Amphitheater is also located. It was built in the second century AD, before the construction of the Great Amphitheater, to accommodate about 500 spectators. The Odeon Theater was mainly used for musical performances. Archaeologists believe it may have been roofed with a wooden roof or temporary tent to protect the audience and performers from the weather. It is believed that the severe earthquake that struck the city of Amman and the regions of the Levant in 1927 was the main reason for the demolition of a large part of it, especially its high facade. The amphitheater and the surrounding area in the Hashemite Square have recently been restored, where concerts and poetry seminars are held today.

The Odeon is a small 500-seat theatre. Not to be confused with the large Roman Theatre that stands right next to it, on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza, while the Odeon stands on the east side of the Plaza. Very nice, tidy and clean old ruins, that is kept in good shape.
Ziad A — Google review
Right next to the Roman theatre and a great deal smaller! Thought it wasn’t included in the Jordan Pass but the guard asked and we said we had it and got in for free. It’s a lot quieter than the Roman theatre - come here if you are avoiding the ruckus and keen on admiring the ancient Roman architecture.

This is like a compact version of the big Roman Theater next to it. But, it seems to be in better condition (restored?) and feels more welcoming. There are some funky acoustics if you stand at the center of the arena.
