Mediterranean delights
The Mediterranean coast stretching for a couple of hundred kilometers is a popular destination not only among Israelis, but also among numerous guests of the country. Israeli resorts annually receive hundreds of thousands of tourists who want to combine beach holidays with a rich excursion program.
The Mediterranean has a rich history. Here civilizations and various cultures were born, which left the richest exhibits right under the open sky as a legacy to the modern traveler:
- In ancient Akko, a city of crusaders and knights, the Templar Tunnel is worth a visit.
- From the top of Mount Carmel, from the Mukhraka monastery, an amazing panorama of the Mediterranean Sea and Haifa opens.
- Columns, an amphitheater and the palace of Herod the Great in the ancient city of Caesarea were erected more than two millennia ago. The frescoes on the walls of her hippodrome date from the 1st century BC.
In Haifa, the Bahai Gardens are noteworthy, and in Jaffa, stunning photos are obtained against the background of the old Clock Tower. Tel Aviv will appeal to fans of outdoor activities and fans of noisy open-air parties.
The Mediterranean beaches of Israel stretch for many kilometers and among them you can find perfectly equipped and completely wild, municipal and private, noisy and quiet.
It is customary to spend the whole day on the seashore, since cozy restaurants and cafes allow you to have a hearty and tasty meal, and comfortable sun loungers and umbrellas - to take a nap in the shade to the sound of a rhythmically roaring surf.
The Israeli Mediterranean beach resorts are tolerant of your dressing, partner or entertainment choices. Unlike the strict commandments adopted in the religious centers of the country, the sea does not need to be too dependent on calendar dates and gastronomic regulations.
On the edge of the Red Sea
Only five kilometers of the coast of one of the most beautiful seas of the planet went to the Promised Land, but this is more than enough for Israel to confirm annually the title of the most popular resort in the Middle East.
The Red Sea city of Eilat is a haven for divers, duty-free shopping aficionados and sunbathers on Christmas or May weekend.
The Eilat Mountains have their own nature reserve, where there are many hiking trails with mesmerizing views of the peaks, canyons and desert. From the observation deck of the tower of the local underwater observatory, a panorama of the Jordanian and Egyptian landscapes opens. "Lazy Diving" at the observatory allows you to observe variegated fish and corals at a depth of six meters through transparent walls.
The unique climate of Eilat guarantees you a complete absence of precipitation, a comfortable temperature for a beach holiday even in January and a cool refreshing water in July noon.
Buffet tables in hotels are set generously and plentifully for breakfast, without looking back at the number of stars on the facade, and the public successfully combines the evening promenade along the sea with profitable shopping and tasting ice white wine on the open verandas of the cafe.
Behind the secrets of Cleopatra
Vendors of shops that sell a variety of healing Dead Sea cosmetics love to offer a miracle cream, created according to Cleopatra's recipe. How the secret composition reached modern cosmetologists, history is silent, but I want to believe that the queen used local mud for skin care. Still would! After all, the Dead Sea is the only natural hospital in which absolutely all parameters, factors and indicators are recognized as unique and very useful for the human body.
You will not be able to fully swim and dive in the saltiest body of water on the planet, but you will certainly succeed in rejuvenating, prettier and feeling a surge of strength even after one swim. Be sure to go to the shores of the healing sea, lost in the Israeli desert, at least on a one-day tour! You will get a lot of impressions and positive emotions. And if time permits, give yourself a week or two at the resorts of the Dead Sea. You will feel what it means to be reborn, and you will understand why Cleopatra did some things much easier than other beautiful and significant ladies in the history of mankind.
Traveling to the Israeli seas will be your best adventure. There is a place for romance and beauty, unhurried contemplation and active comprehension in it. You will enjoy early sunrises, warm evenings and an amazing atmosphere of peace and bliss, no matter what point on the map becomes your home for these few days.
