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 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.

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.

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.

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).

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 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... This is a trail you owe yourself to visit at least once, suitable for the whole family. The choices of trails vary from half an hour, up to 3 hours total. Very highly recommend!

love the place! I would recommend coming sometime in early spring because then all the flowers bloom and its just really beautiful! There are several places to take pictures and breaks, and the way the hike is built is immaculate. In conclusion, 5/5 would totally go again!

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.

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.

There is a short and a long route. Routes are circular. Both run along the shade. Perfect for a hot day. Bring plenty of water, a hat and comfortable shoes. In addition to the water, there is also an ancient part of the city that has been preserved and a lookout view. There is a souvenir shop at the entrance to the park.

Trails for all ages — both short and long — suitable for strollers as well as for experienced hikers. There’s a small wading pool for those who want to get wet. A beautiful, shaded spot.

Small but beautiful nature preserve. Easy trail. Walked by streams, trees and some ancient ruins. Saw birds and small reptiles. Was originally one of the first places visited in Israel 20 years ago. Very happy to see it again.

Amazing place that has such a rich history. Gives good insight to how Old Testament cities were built. The fact that there is a 4,000 year old structure still there that Abraham would have visited is amazing alone. A must see for anyone on a pilgrimage trip.

This is an incredible nature park that follows one of the tributaries to the Jordan river. Lots of history here as the tribe of Dan moved north against the law and there are remnants of a temple and an ancient gate. Beautiful walking trails through nature along a fast flowing river

This is more than just a nature reserve. Yes, it has a walk through a park area with beautiful scenery and a flowing stream, but it is much more than that! This site contains several important archeological finds. It has walls and remains of a city and settlement that date to more than 1,000 BC in the nation of Israel. They have uncovered the temple built by King Jeroboam after the kingdom was divided. Walls, tombs, houses, places of worship and much more have been discovered, giving more validity to the accurate history recorded in the Old Testament. And you can walk through those ancient streets! They also have uncovered a gate to a city which dates around 2,000 BC to the time of the Canaanites who lived there before Israel. This is an incredible walk through time and history in a beautiful setting! Well worth a visit!

Update: Been there again this October and again I really enjoyed it. Ideal as a weekend family activity. Always green, always streaming, perfect for a Family trip One of the best Nature Reserve in Israel, no matter when, even in the dry Summer of Israel, but of course the best is in Winter, after the strong rains of January. Then it is awesome with all the streaming all around, everywhere, at every corner and behind every tree, the sight is amazing. We had plenty of precipitations in Israel this winter, and therefore the currents were exceptional as well. As it is managed by the National Authority I'd strongly recommend to buy the Matmon Card of the Israel Nature and Park Authority which will give you free unlimited access to you and your family all year long, to all the Nature Reserves and National Parks (everywhere in Israel) You should get back your investment in 4 visits or less and then you'll be able to come back as many times along the year. Can't say enough to recommend this card as it'll allow you a priceless freedom to visiting any Park or Nature Reserve you wish.

I visited the place again since I heard it's open wasn't bad!!! Just the boat ride was really short! Other than that give it a go parking 250LB . And entrance ticket 15$ per adult a lot but well. U can't take pics or anything inside the caves, just open area outside , overall upper part is better personally big and u get to walk and experience the rocks the feelings and all . Lower one wasn't much water is nice but too much fuss over short boat trip

Amazing! This is briefly what you can say about this majestic place. I visited the grotto several times in the past and this summer I wanted to let my kids to see it. They were extremely stunned by the cave and the incredible shapes of the stalagmites and stalactites. This place is a must see for any visitor to Lebanon. No pictures are allowed inside but nothing can depict what you see there in person.

I visited Jeita Grotto today, and it is truly one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. The caves are stunning, with incredible natural formations and an underground river that feels magical to experience. The entire area is well-maintained, and the beauty inside is simply unforgettable. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was that phones and photos are not allowed inside the grotto. I feel it would be much better if visitors could take photos, as it would help promote this amazing site when shared with friends and family—more people would be inspired to come and see it for themselves. I also believe the area could feel a bit less commercial if they focused more on enhancing the natural charm of the surroundings rather than just coffee shops and restaurants. Still, overall, Jeita Grotto is an absolute must-visit in Lebanon—an experience you will never forget.

A natural wonder developped over millions of years inside the these beautiful mountains. A formation of Stalactites and Stalagmites, many in weird shapes such as Jelly Fish, Mushroom, etc. based on their shapes. There are 3 layers to visit, Upper, Middle and Lower. While Upper and Middle is on foot, the lower is on a short boat trip. The temperatures within are cool throughout the year, around 20degs, especially a relief in the hot summers. The Entrance fee is $15 and includes rides on a cable car, toy train and the boat. Staff is friendly. Photography is strictly prohibited and they go to lengths to stop it. The reasoning given behind it when questioned was unconvincing and the only reason I can think of it so to create a curiosity among people so that people visit it in person generating income. Nevertheless, a beautiful place to not miss in a life time

Immersion to the depthness of Mother Earth ( upper grotto- Last chamber with deep hole- inviting to meditation) Touristic attraction : Forbid cameras inside, but take pictures with flash for extra money Entrance fee 15 USD

A Very majestic place ! Both the upper and the lower grotto are very beautiful and worth the visit !

The cave was really nice, but the good things end there, staff would try to be friendly and offer to give you information so that you tip them, and the funny thing is that each one of them has a very different story with different dates, it seems like none of them knows anything about the cave. Tickets are very pricey and they also charge you when you enter the facility for parking. Cameras and phones are not allowed inside the cave (the workers say the light would damage the cave) while they have photo stands inside the cave with big flash lights so that you pay to take pictures, and they also have phones that you can rent out to take pictures since they don't let you take your phone inside, they touch your body everywhere to make sure of it. Overall the way things operate there really ruined the experience for me and I would never go back ever again.

If you are on a spiritual tour in Lebanon, this place is a must visit. Monastery Saint Maroun was the place was the place where Saint charbel spent a period of his life before going to the hermitage. This place has a big church near the monastery. The views from up there are amazing. There is a souvenir shop that can help you buy something to remember your visit.

In the silence of Annaya, where Saint Charbel prayed and served, the soul finds rest, the heart finds peace, and heaven feels near

Beat holy Place in Lebanon! So beautiful and peaceful! Great staff on hbd

One of my favourite saints- beautiful holy ground. Powerful pilgrimage site. Truly breathtaking.

What an amazing place to visit 🙏 words cannt describe. It feels you are above the clouds. I would visit weekly if I lived in Lebanon. I attended the 7am mass, and it was amazing and beautiful and humble and peaceful 🙏

Words can't describe the feelings of that holy place, whenever you are feeling down or in need for an escape from your everyday life problems, or even asking for spiritual help , you just can go there and find your answers. It's is a big place, well maintained, well organised, safe , clean , quiet , beautiful, and helpful staff. It is a must visit for everyone, from different spiritual backgrounds, it's a historical and a remarkable place in the Life of Saint Charbel, you can visit all year around. Definitely will keep going back here.

A truly beautiful Monastery . It is a peace of heaven on earth and a brilliant church. Actually you have 2 churches, the old one is small and a new big one.The people are warm and inviting. It is a great blend of modern worship and older hymns, as well as in depth preaching and teaching every Sunday. Very special event every 22nd of the month. This really is the crowning jewel of any visit to Lebanon. A must visit. May saint Charbel bless you all.

I had an amazing time at Beirut Souks! is such a vibrant place. I spent many wonderful days there this summer, attending events, walking around, and visiting the shops and cafes. The atmosphere is fantastic, with so many great restaurants and unique stores to explore. It’s definitely one of my favorite spots in Beirut. Highly recommend checking it out

It's quite a modern souk, but not many visitors, I wonder why it's so quiet. I heard and understood many locals talking about cats and they are animal lovers. I undertood the reason why. Not a few places are empty. # Beirut # Lebanon

Beirut Souks is a luxurious destination offering many stores for shopping, a variety of restaurants, and a cinema. It’s also a great place to take a walk.

Love this area in Beirut! A mix of historical buildings and modern stores. You will find a great mix of ultra luxury stores, from clothing to jewelry. Eye candy for all! Got a heavy wallet? Great place to reduce its weight!

Used to be my favorite spot for shopping , and now it is getting back there with the shops opening again. I love the modern and old clash of architecture there, and the public spaces for people and family to enjoy.

It’s really cool but if it’s your first time you’ll walk without knowing where you are going.

Beautifully designed and buildings and shops are contemporary modern architecture. Unfortunately, it’s underused and majority of the shops and outlets are not let. Those which are let are designers outlets, watches, clothes, and other expensive goods. There’s nothing much for ordinary citizens apart from Starbucks and Cinema City!

The place is pretty big, with three different sections, comfy couches perfect for sunset, a bar area with high and low tables, and a restaurant section where smoking is allowed. There’s no DJ, just chill music playing in the background, and each section offers a different beautiful view. The service was a bit slow, but the vibes made up for it. Drinks were good, though the alcohol was on the lighter side, and the food was tasty. Overall, it’s a great place to relax, enjoy the view, and have a laid-back evening.

Very nice spot in Zaytouna Bay overlooking the city and lights ! I visited couple of times a couple of years ago and I thought it has closed down. Love to have a sangria or a cocktail there in September /October , it is chill . The drinks and food are great and consistent from my previous visit. The service is not very welcoming and slow, alltho not many table reservations. The staff seem to lack motivation .

Park at Zaitunay Bay is one of the nicest outdoor spots in Beirut. It’s right by the water, super spacious, and the view at sunset is honestly hard to beat. The setup is casual — bean bags, soft lights, and music playing in the background. It’s the kind of place where you just want to sit back and relax. The food is pretty good — I’ve had their burgers and a few appetizers, and they hit the spot. The drinks are light and refreshing, nothing crazy but perfect for the vibe. It does get busy, especially on weekends, so don’t be surprised if service takes a bit longer. And there’s a minimum charge, so just keep that in mind. But overall, if you're looking for a chill spot by the sea, this one’s worth it. Rating: 4.0/5 Scenic, relaxed, and just a good hangout — great for catching the sunset with friends.

It is a very nice place for a drink or snack and I am a regular. I enjoy the breeze that you can feel since it is elevated with no obstructive buildings. Other than the relaxing environment itself, the cocktails are very basic and so is the food. I only had salads but they were of good quality and did feel fresh. The service is not so good even though the place is empty. Waiters stand and talk to each others, so you would have to walk to the bar by yourself if the glasses are empty. I do not understand at all why they do not accept short pants because there is nothing fancy at all about the place. However if that is the image they seek to achieve, then they do have quite a bit to work on. However I like this place alot. I find it very chill and will keep coming back (despite the room for improvements) ;)

A hidden gem above the city, Park offers a stunning rooftop setting with breathtaking views and a relaxing ambiance. It’s the perfect spot to unwind while enjoying the skyline, whether at sunset or under the stars. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with an atmosphere that is both chic and inviting. The food was equally impressive — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish reflects great attention to detail, and the service is warm and professional. A must-visit for anyone looking to combine great taste with an unforgettable atmosphere.

The Park, if not for it's amazing views and atmosphere, wouldn't be that good of a place. The food is mediocre, so is the service, and not to mention that they profile you as being under 18 without even asking for your ID or anything. They simply tell you: "you can't sit there" (In the 22+ Area). Their drinks are also not that good. Overall, nice place to go once for the views, but that's it.

This rooftop spot in Beirut is my go-to for a chill-out. With an incredible view of the sea, the sunset, and the skyline, it's truly a treat. The place is surrounded by nature and the service is good. Don't miss out on their cocktails, appetizers, and burgers - they're a must-try!

Great place to find restaurants and shops, but crowded a little bit.

A lovely street to take evening walks, which I did everyday whilst I was there, very therapeutic. Great place to shop for clothes, electronics and you name it. The best is however the range of restaurants available. There are also some very good and cheap coffee/Kahwa kiosks on the sidewalks where you can stop by for some people watching

Lovely and walkable street with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and graffitis.

Good place not amazing to hang out

Just never ending place for shopping.. never ending choices of restaurants and coffee shops .. lots of dry fruits and local sweet shops available which has plenty of options for purchasing ..

Good street at the middle of Beirut, with a lot of shopping options clothes, shose, jewelry,accessories,restaurants and Cafes

You feel comfortable and as soon as you set foot in this place you will adore it

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

I really like this place. There are lots of cafe's and lots of shops. I went to the amusement park at marina twice, it was fun but I do wish for it to have more Rollercoasters and rides. There's not much when you go there and the roller coaster train isn't even that fast or scary. But I really like It there. 👍

Very popular place to spend summer evenings, with a lot of good restaurants in the area packed with customers. A lot of options to spend a nice evening sightseeing or enjoying the best Turkish cuisine have to offer.

The atmosphere is nice. The staff were very attentive. Good thing is it iwas closed or else we won't enjoy the place. The salad was good and it was fresh. Love the cake it was very moist. I also like the view. Overall I recommend this place.

Wonderful place , expensive brands, nice view and very clean

Mersin marina mall very nice mall with different choice of fashions brands and different types of restaurants and cafes, for family with kids there is games city and kids will enjoy, and for adults people they can enjoy walking there and take coffee or foods in coffee shops and restaurants i recommend this mall

Excellent service. We love coming for breakfast here. Tasty food, attentive stuff and a beautiful location by the water. There is an administrator here that speaks fluent English and is super friendly and professional. You could recognize him by a moustache. PS: if you like strong, dark roasted coffee, you need to try it here. PPS: our bill here was always correct, unlike other places.

Nice marina with plenty of nice shops and restaurants. Staff at the entrance barrier are very kind and helpful. Nice walk along the promenade into Mersin. Would defo recommend this place during the day or evening fir a meal and walk around the shops and look at the boats.

There are 7 waterfalls (5 big and 2 small) in this area. The water of the waterfall is purely clear and drinkable. There are some places for drinking tea, coffee, or eating some food. The road might be scary for some people if you come from Adana/Kozan

Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls is a truly spectacular natural wonder — definitely worth the visit! 🌊 Surrounded by untouched beauty, the views are breathtaking. It does involve a bit of a hike/walk, so I’d recommend wearing runners or comfortable walking shoes. Some of the railings along the path could use a bit of care and maintenance, but that doesn’t take away from the amazing experience. If you enjoy nature, fresh air, and unique scenery, this is a must-see spot.

Among the places I've visited in the area, It's one of the best places to visit for natural beauty around Kayseri. Entrance fee was 60try for cars. But be more cautious while driving especially after Yahyalı as roads are very narrow and curvey at certain places. Try to go there during week, be there like 11 AM and leave around 4PM. Love it❤️

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! Local thieves were trying to steal from us. They come down from the nearby Village. They first come in motor bikes and observe the cars and people and then send additional people if they think they can handle them. We went on March and it was only us and another car. As soon as the other car left around 4 men came down and along with kids from the village and surrounded us. We fled into our rental car and left the scene. If we would have waited for even a minute they would have stolen our belonging and dunno wat else. Please be careful people. If there is many other cars then you can dare to enjoy the place if not please please be careful. We were lucky to escape because of one person left same review 3 years ago, so we were vigilant. Otherwise, Scenic drive and nice waterfall. We wanted to enjoy more by splashing in water but we couldn’t due to this issue.

It’s one of the best places in Kayseri Good to do barbecue and it’s better to go early their. Actually the road was not scary as I heard

Pretty cool natural attraction! Really crazy to see such big waterfalls gushing out from the sides of cliffs. My kids loved being able to walk the little paths on the other side of the river. Nice to have a small cafe to but ice cream, snacks or hot drinks. Unfortunately the largest waterfalls don't really have good access. You see them as you drive in, but there is no parking near them, so you have to walk back to view them from the road. Also the roads get a little windy going back in there, so if you get car sick, be prepared!

Amazing view. No Cafe or restaurants, there's a small area with tables, which can be rented. Only tea and some drinks served there. If you wanna eat there, bring food with you. Small parking slot available at the end of terrace, which is not sufficient. Most of cars parked on a right side of the road.

One of the high point of my trip to Turkey. Honoring the Sufi religion and Rumi at the Mevlana Museum and Mosque. Cleansing in the water of life after visiting Rumi's burial site. The Mevlana Jalaluddin-i Rumi Mosque is magnificent. Sufism is a mystic body of religious practice found within Islam which is characterized by a focus on Islamic purification, spirituality, ritualism. Although Sufis were opposed to dry legalism, they strictly observed Islamic law and belonged to various schools of Islamic jurisprudence and theology. A day never to be forgotten .

One of Turkey’s most iconic and spiritual sites. This is the resting place of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, the famous Sufi poet and mystic. The museum preserves manuscripts, ceremonial garments and artifacts from the Whirling Dervishes, while the turquoise conical dome makes the building instantly recognizable. A deeply meaningful and historic place absolutely worth a visit.

Here lies one of the biggest inspirational poets of all time whose thoughts have enlightened the many souls. The museum is inside the complex, which houses Rumi's tomb. You get to learn about the life of disciples during the life of Rumi and the way things worked in 13th century.

This place is a huge deal for those who have enjoyed Rumi’s poems and deep thoughts at least once. It is free and no need to buy tickets. It is divided into doors (babs) and separate parts to roam around like the main museum, tombs, and poems and photos. No recording with flash but normal one is ok. Those who know persian can also read the scripts and poems that are everywhere. The garden part is also enjoyable for sitting or drinking coffee.

Beautiful museum where Rumi taught his views and received his mentor Shams. The museum holds Rumi's tomb and the history of Mevlevi Order. Do not get intimidated by the massive amount of people there. If you read Rumi and follow him, whatever your religion is, find a place to sit near his tomb, close your eyes and meditate.

Beautiful! Great place to learn about Rumi and the Sufi religion. It was pretty crowded, but you could move through at your own pace. Great place for people interested in history.

An amazing museum—perfect for those who love exploring museums and for anyone eager to learn more about Islam.

The Konya Tropical Butterfly Garden is straight-up like walking into a living watercolor painting. The second you step inside, you’re hit with warm, earthy air, layers of green everywhere, and butterflies just casually floating past like they own the place. It’s humid (like South Asian Summer humid), so definitely dress light and bring water, your skin will glow like never before in what feels like a tropical escape right in the middle of Konya. The glass dome itself? Stunning. It lets in soft natural light that bounces off vibrant wings and tropical leaves, perfect for photos but also just super calming to look at. They’ve recreated a whole ecosystem inside, with 40+ butterfly species from across the world flying freely around you. If you stand still long enough, one might even land on you! I literally held my breath hoping it would but that didn’t happen, one did land on my friend though! What I loved most is how clean and thoughtfully designed everything is. You don’t just walk through and take pictures , there are signs explaining butterfly lifecycles, and you can actually see some emerging from cocoons. It’s peaceful, quiet, and kind of magical. Whether you’re going with friends, solo, or on a soft-date vibe, it’s 100% worth the visit. Staff are friendly, tickets are affordable, and the whole experience is unforgettable.

Konya Tropical Butterfly Garden is a magical place. The atmosphere is calm and full of color with natural sounds. Hundreds of butterflies flying freely make you feel close to nature. A must-visit place in Konya — peaceful, clean, and perfect for photos and childer

You MUST go to this place. You will see a lot of beautiful flowers, very many different types and vibrant colourful butterflies. The entry fee is cheep too. Inside is a little bit humid and hot but shouldn't bother you too much. I absolutely loved it.

The tropical butterfly garden is great place to visit with your children. You need at least 45 to 60 minutes to make sure your child can read and learn about butterflies and other bugs. They ask you if you want a photo at the entrance but finally they sell it to you, they should have told us that it wasn't free.

Great place to see many butterflies and green plants in Konya. Quite hot and humid because adapting with the tropical climate

Great place to see butterflies up close. Very informative.

The largest and oldest butterfly garden in the region. Great and wonderful work. The place is very organized and there are many and varied places to take pictures. There is an outdoor garden to sit and enjoy drinking coffee and tea, and there is a play area for children.
