Despite the fact that Safed is located in the north of Israel, the climate in the city and its surroundings, even in October, does not remind of autumn. This month is called the "velvet" tourist season, and the weather in Safed in October is one of the reasons to come to Lake Tiberias. The beaches on its shores are full of life in October. After completing an excursion or pilgrimage program, travelers usually book a room in a hotel or guest house near the water and continue to relax and enjoy the not too hot Israeli sun.

Sea in Safed
The sea closest to Safed is called the Sea of Galilee. In fact, this is the name of the huge fresh Tiberias Lake, on the shores of which beaches and recreation areas are arranged. Another popular name for the reservoir is the Kinneret Lake.
In October, the swimming season on the Sea of Galilee continues, as the water temperature remains very comfortable for both children and adults. In the morning, the thermometer rises to + 24 ° С, but by noon in coastal waters, they show up to + 27 ° С in the first half of the month and up to 25 ° С in the last days.
