The shoreline that wraps around the Sea of Galilee is jam-packed with attractions, offering beautiful countryside and a wealth of history.
Whether you come to see the churches of Tabgha, where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount and did much of his preaching, or just to soak in the hot springs near Tiberias and go hiking, this beautiful region is a must-see on any trip.
Don’t miss a swim in the sea and a hillside hike to take in the views across the lake.
Begin the day by driving north. The Sea of Galilee is your first stop. Visit ancient Capernaum, which is serenely located on the lake’s shores, at the foot of the Mount of Beatitudes, and the Church of Multiplications at Taghba. Following that, you’ll go to the Yardenit Baptismal Site on the Jordan River near the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee, which is thought to be one of the possible locations of Jesus’ baptism. Today, it welcomes hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year who flock to the Jordan River’s waters. Continue on to Nazareth, passing through Cana if time allows, the location of Jesus’ first miracle of turning water into wine.
In Nazareth, visit the Old City and the magnificent Basilica of the Annunciation. Explore the church and the old city of Nazareth, Israel’s so-called Arabic capital.
On this fully guided day tour, you will see all of the highlights of the Galilee region. Join us on a tour that will take you to Nazareth as well as the highlights of Galilee, and you will return to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem with unforgettable memories.
