Western Galilee – Caesarea, Haifa, Mount Carmel

The ruins of ancient Caesarea - the once luxurious Roman "resort" of King Herod, named after his patron Emperor Octavian Augustus. In Caesarea during the reign of Rome, you will see the amphitheater of King Herod, the Roman hippodrome, the sea port city, built over 12 years in a place completely inconvenient for such an undertaking. Nothing was impossible for Herod. Only earthquakes knocked down the grandiose buildings of magnificent buildings. The Byzantine era and the Crusader port left us picturesque ruins of the fortress walls. For Christianity, Caesarea is the place where the apostle Peter first converted to Christianity a pagan – Cornelius.

In Caesarea, the Apostle Paul, the chief propagator of Christianity, was imprisoned, then from here he was sent to Rome for trial and execution. Haifa. This beauty lies calmly and serenely on Mount Carmel, only touching the coast with her fingertips. It was admired by different peoples of different eras and cultures, it was decorated by the most ardent admirers: from Roman emperors to the Crusaders, from the Carmelites to the Kaiser Wilhelm. Napoleon visited here, Bahá’ís went here, friendly Ahmedites and Druze appear here. Only in Haifa, young people of different religions celebrate holidays in one beautiful hall. The town of Zichron Yakov and the village of artists Ein-hod on the slopes of Mount Carmel - the embodiment of the dream of the "unknown Benefactor", who bequeathed to bury him on the slope of Mount Carmel. Excursion tireless, on beautiful places of the Mediterranean coast.
