Caesarea (Hebrew: קֵיסָרְיָה, Kaysariya or Qesarya; Arabic: قيسارية, Qaysaria; Greek: Καισάρεια; /ˌsɛzəˈriːə, ˌsɛsəˈriːə, ˌsiːzəˈriːə/) is a town in north-central Israel. Located midway between Tel Aviv and Haifa on the coastal plain near the city of Hadera, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof HaCarmel Regional Council.

Caesarea Glass Studio is located in the beautiful ancient port of Caesarea. The shop and gallery are situated in a reconstructed Roman building adjacent to an ancient Byzantine glass-blowing workshop. Our studio offers traditional glass blowing demonstrations, as well as glass art workshops and tours, and historical games and puzzles.
If you have watched Blown Away on Netflix you'll know how amazing glass blowing is (this is the show that made us want to go). We got to make flowers, a bowl and a vase within 2 hours (we got to choose what to make). We were all amazed at how much time we got to spend actually creating and working with the glass, as well as learning and explanations. Itay is a genuinely lovely guy and a fantastic teacher. He made sure each of us had equal chance to participate in the demos as well as the actual making of our projects. He speaks English and Hebrew fluently. He is also fully Covid vaccinated and ran the whole workshop very securely: masks on when possible, off for glassblowing but then socially distanced, and with disposable straws so no cross-contamination during the glassblowing. We had a 2 hour private workshop for 4 adults (23, 25 and our parents). We all thought it well worth the price, and there is a 15% discount in Itay's shop for workshop participants too. Worth noting that Itai's workshop is located inside Caesarea national park, so you do also need to pay for entry into that too - we took advantage of the day and had a picnic lunch there followed by a wander around. There is plenty of history and some other shops and workshops. Usually there are tons of restaurants and cafes too but mostly closed due to corona, the ice cream place was open though! A disabled member of. our group had no access problems (brought a walking stick but would've been fine with their wheelchair). Run don't walk - we are already thinking about when we can go back with friends!

We offer glassblowing workshops (singles / couples / groups), glassblowing demos (groups / individuals) and custom designed glass art. You can also host private events at our studio. Our beautiful glassblowing studio is located at the top of the crusader fort in the ancient Caesarea port. The studio combines a hot shop with a hosting area (bar / gallery) and is surrounded by the see from 3 directions.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Beautiful location on the sea, our instructor was fantastic and we really enjoyed working with her. She even let us stay and work on a piece she was making, after our time was up. Glass blowing is incredibly interesting and challenging, we had a great time making our own pieces. They were delivered in perfect condition to our address.

Stumbled across this and loved our time on the beach here exploring the 2000 year old aqueduct and splashing in the Mediterranean sea. Even in Winter the water was warm and our kids enjoyed a break from the touring to collect shells and splash in the water.

This is somewhere I have been wanting to visit for a long time. Caesarea Maritima was the capital of Roman Judaea, so included many of the features of Roman civilisation, including this magnificent amphitheatre. When we visited, we were free to wander around and even sit where theatre goers of two thousand years ago would have enjoyed, perhaps, a Roman adaptation of a Sophocles play or other Greek drama. The theatre is still in use which explained the modern sound and other equipment on the stage when we were there. It somewhat marred what otherwise would have been some evocative photographs, but so be it. If you are interested in classical antiquity, do not give this a miss.

Historical site from Roman Times. Aqueducts, multitude of artifacts, ancient pottery pieces, ruins of Roman baths and spas, with the majestic Mediterranean Sea as a daring backdrop. Wear comfortable shoes. Lots of dirt, mud, stones and shells.
