Israel
Interesting country to visit with a great bonus in being small and compact – no long distance travel.
Israel has a relaxed and pleasant Mediterranean feel to it. After spending the day exploring ancient sites or meandering around medieval towns, it’s nice to slip into
an open air café or taverna. If you fancy a swim, you’re never far from the sea or Galilee.
Some recommendations:
- Jerusalem and Massada for history
- Tel Aviv for café culture, shops and markets
- The mountains north of Galilee for walking and getting away from it all
- Akko for an ancient Arab town on the coast, easily explored on foot
