Haifa and the coastal shore What to do in Haifa and around ? Haifa is on the mountain of Carmel and has great views (Napoli style) I recommend as A MUST The Bahayan Gardens – a visit to the magnificent shrine and gardens of the Baha'i Community is a wonderful experience and very enjoyable for the whole family. Learn more about Haifa in the Jewish Virtual Library Website. The National Museum for Science Technology and Space - an interesting experience for the brainy... tourists :-) and for kids. More about Haifa see Tour Haifa Rosh Hanikra grottes very beautiful and picturesque grottes, spectacular views and great opportunities for photographers. Acre (in Hebrew pronounces Acco) an old Arab city by the sea on the way to Rosh Hanikra. It is a nice place to walk around the old city and have a meal at one of the seaside fish restaurants (I heard the best is URI BURI I have not yet been there but I plan to) The market is very lively on Fridays see my Acco photo gallery Dahliat il Carmel a druz village on the Carmel Mountain near Haifa is interesting to visit and shopping. I wouldn't recommend the restaurants there but it is nice to have a coffee and baklava ( a sweet honey covered kind of cake) in the pastry shop in the center of the picturesque market Ein Hod - An artist village where artists live, create and sell their art. It is very picturesque and has a nice restaurant and café. It is lovely to stroll around the beautiful alleys and visit the galleries. Caesaria is a beautiful touristic site that is famous enough - definitely worth a visit - archeology lovers and just having a glass of wine overlooking the beautiful rocky sea shore it is wonderful Zichron Yaakov - A village on a mountain south from Ein Hod. The center is rather touristic in the nice sense of the word with little shops and restaurant. There is also an interesting site The gardens of the Nadiv (meaning generous in Hebrew) - the gardens of the renown Rothschild which are beautiful and have a nice spice garden See some reviews about Zichron Yaakov from Virtual Tourist site where to sleep? Portals for finding accommodation, rural, B&B or other: you can try Weekend and also Zimmers which have both English sites. Places I recommend from my personal experience or my friends' experience Beit Maimon - A little hotel situated in a beautiful little village on the way from Haifa to Tel Aviv – Zichron Yaakov . I have not yet stayed in this hotel because it was full when we wanted to go but it seems very nice and the village is great to stay the night if you are on your way from the north to the south. Beit Harub - a nice B&B near Zichron Yaakov in a little rural village not far from Ein Hod simple and nice with a balcony viewing the fields.
wooden houses where you can be pampered with the loveliest breakfast. It is located in a little village near Naharia called Manot viewing the fortress Monfort and the hills around. English Website Yaarot Hacarmel (Carmel Forests in Hebrew) is a beautifully located luxury resort and I believe it is wonderful to stay there if you can afford it :-) Eli Avivi Land - In the north of Israel a few km north from Naharya on the wonderful Achziv beach tel - 972 4 9823250 Eli Avivi,has founded his land. On the remains of an old Arab village, this is a far out place where you can stay the night in rooms made of stone or wood on a hill facing the sea. It is very basic but unique, has a special atmosphere and access to an enchanting beach - The place is simple and not very cheap but very unique see Achziv photo gallery
Haifa Hummus is very special and I prefer. In the down town of Haifa there is a popular restaurant called Allenby where you can get Hummus and also grill dishes.I recommend a Hummus place I discovered recently called Abu Shaker on 29 Hameginim Street that serves really delicious hummus and has very friendly service. Uri Buri in old Acco is where you can treat yourself to the best fish and seafood restaurant ever. Prices are not cheap $$ - Old Acre near the light house Tel: 04-9552212 There is also in Acco a very good place for hummus in the market, Hummus Sayid - you will spot it by the long queue ....
