Embark on an exclusive private tour along the captivating Mediterranean coastline, exploring the historic gems of Caesarea, Acre, and Rosh Hanikra, while soaking in a panoramic view of Haifa.
Delve into the rich history of the region: Our journey begins in Caesarea, an ancient port town originally settled by the Phoenicians and later transformed into a grand city by King Herod in 31-37 BC. Wander through the remains of palaces, a theater, bathhouses, a hippodrome, and a harbor, all built in honor of Caesar Augustus. With your personal guide, explore the excavated buildings, bathhouses, and the remnants of the renowned port, witnessing the layers of history from Herod's reign to the Crusader era.
Heading north to Haifa, a city cascading down the slopes of Mount Carmel, revel in the breathtaking views from its summit. Behold Haifa Bay, the Bahai Shrine, and terraced gardens. Before departing, traverse the historic German Colony, founded in 1868 by Christian German Templers.
Next, reach the northernmost point along Israel’s Mediterranean coast, Rosh Hanikra, offering a glimpse of the border between Israel and Lebanon. A short distance away, a cable car descends into mesmerizing natural grottoes, where the sea dances off white limestone cliffs, creating a picturesque scene.
As we journey southward, the tour unfolds in Acre Old City. Enjoy lunch before immersing yourself in this ancient port city's diverse history, shaped by Canaanites, Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, and Crusaders. Marvel at well-preserved structures like the UNESCO-listed Acre Citadel, the Knights' Halls, and subterranean passageways. Stroll through Acre’s enchanting alleys and bustling market, capturing glimpses of traditional daily life.
