Depart Haifa and drive up the coast to Acco where we will experience the port town with its Crusader era ruins and a rich history stretching back almost 4000 years. Walk through the medieval alleys of the old city and descend into the headquarters of the Knights of St. John to explore the underground crypt. Follow the stairway to the long underground passage that is believed to be an escape tunnel built by the Crusaders.

Return to the surface and discover the beautiful architecture of the Ottoman era, including the 18th century Turkish Bazaar and the Khan al-Umdan, the largest and best preserved caravanserai in all of Israel. Walk the walls of the old city to see the small fishing fleet and remains of the Pisan port.

From Acre we will drive north to Rosh-Hanikra which is located on the Mediterranean sea along the border with Lebanon. We will enjoy a cable car ride up to the grottos carved into the white chalk cliffs.

Finally, we will drive to visit the Talmudic era city of Zippori to see the remains of the 2000 year old theater,  a reconstructed Roman era villa, a magnificent mosaic floor with a portrait known as the Mona Lisa of the Galilee, and a beautifully colonnaded street.
