Your tour begins at Caesarea, the grand harbor city built by King Herod two thousand years ago. Walk through the remains of the Roman theater, hippodrome, and aqueduct while learning about Paul’s imprisonment here before his journey to Rome. The combination of ancient ruins and crashing Mediterranean waves creates a powerful opening to your journey.
The day concludes at Rosh Hanikra, on the border with Lebanon, where the sea has carved glowing white chalk cliffs into tunnels and grottos. Riding the cable car down to the caves, you hear the roar of waves echo through the chambers before heading to your overnight stay in the Galilee.
The morning begins in the ancient port city of Akko, where Crusader halls, Ottoman walls, and bustling markets reveal centuries of layered history. Walk through the subterranean Crusader halls and admire the old harbor, once a gateway for pilgrims and merchants.
After a traditional Galilean lunch, you may choose an optional sail on the Sea of Galilee, experiencing the same waters where Jesus calmed the storm and walked on water. Later, you visit an extraordinary archaeological discovery of a wooden boat from the time of Jesus and the site of Magdala, where a first-century synagogue was discovered.
The morning begins at the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish, where mosaics commemorate one of Jesus’ most famous miracles. A short walk leads you to the adjacent Church of Peter’s Primacy, a tranquil shoreline site where Jesus is believed to have reinstated Peter after the resurrection.
For lunch, you enjoy an authentic hospitality experience in a Druze village, tasting traditional dishes and learning about Druze culture and beliefs. An optional winery visit can follow, where the volcanic soil of the Golan produces distinctive Israeli wines.
