Caesarea
Embark on an expedition that takes you deeper into the folds of history. The day begins with an exploration of Caesarea. What was once famous as a Roman port now serves as a bustling archaeological park and commercial center. Culture and commerce collide in this ancient city. You’ll see the ruins, reminiscent of past empires, up close, while also experiencing the incredible Roman/Byzantine aqueducts, grand amphitheater and the amazing water Palace built by Herod the Great. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. While here, tourists are in for a visual treat.
Caesarea Aqueduct Beach
Take a cool breather in the beautiful turquoise Mediterranean Sea on a beach that boasts three ancient Roman and Byzantine Aqueducts that supplied the port of Caesarea with fresh water 2000 years ago! Marvel at the soft white sand, the modern surroundings and the ancient technologies.
Alligator Stream National Park (Nahal Taninim)
Take a stroll where the alligators once roamed freely. This small park includes a unique addition to your visit to Caesarea. Here in this place, innovative technology was used by the Romans to ensure fresh water could be sent to the port city, even though there was no height gradient. Watch with excitement as you see the technology working live!
