Sea of Galilee

Sea of Galilee is Israel's largest freshwater lake and a landscape of beaches, sacred sites and working towns. Its value lies in combining shoreline scenery with the historical geography of Tiberias and the north-shore pilgrimage circuit.

Sea of Galilee

Why go

Its value lies in combining shoreline scenery with the historical geography of Tiberias and the north-shore pilgrimage circuit. Look for basalt shores and changing light frame the Golan slopes, then fishing boats and waterfront settlements keep the lake from feeling like a museum landscape. Choose one shore cluster per day; traffic and heat make a full circuit less rewarding than a focused section.

What to look for

  • Basalt shores and changing light frame the Golan slopes.
  • Fishing boats and waterfront settlements keep the lake from feeling like a museum landscape.

Useful to know

  • Choose one shore cluster per day; traffic and heat make a full circuit less rewarding than a focused section.
