We were not expecting much when we parked in front of this art museum. I mean, I read it was free so I thought we'd be in and out in a mediocre museum within 25 minutes. These assumptions were very wrong. Instead we explored both galleries and it took us 3 hours to explore this great place. There are two separate pavilions. One is dedicated to the (expelled in 1492) Jews of Spain/Portugal and the other pavilion dedicated to some classic and modern (Dali) Latin American Art. Each pavilion is very different in terms of it's contents and architecture. Walking around, I was blown away by the Moorish architecture, the spacious grounds and facility, the attention to detail, history and cleanliness, (wait a minute, am I sure I am in Israel? Because usually these facilities are in a state of neglect with very little attention to detail. No, no, this place is a rare gemstone and is a must for any visitor. What a pleasant surprise!! My hat off to the Recanati family - thank you so much for this gift of a museum.

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.
4. Theatre at Caesarea National Park

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.

History lessons, amphitheater, hippodrome, palace ruins, gorgeous ocean views, short video explanation, information placards in English and Hebrew, space to move around on beach, put your toes in the water - all stunning. We had a guide (which I would recommend getting one) who filled in many, many details to even further enhance the visit.
