For a donation of your choosing, here you can enjoy an archeological excavation, a multimedia movie (although I skipped it), a rooftop view of Nazareth, a beautiful modern chapel with stunning iconography, a perfect little gift shop, a cafe, and a warm and friendly welcome from the sister and the staff. It’s not a holy site, per se, but it is in the neighborhood, and it’s much less likely to be crowded, offering ample room for reflection and prayer.

Berenice winery is a boutique winery located in the center of Tiberias just 10 minutes walk from the sea of Galilee. (For quickest response message my cell ) The villa and its balcony are a part of an ancient Basalt house which was built by our family in 1929. Gidi, who recently renovated the house, is an architect and a winemaker. The cellar is located under the house who currently hosts visitors who choose to stay for some nights. Staying in the authentic spacious suite and dining in the large shared garden with a glass of our fine wine will make your visit unforgettable. Please call us before arriving, we are open on Thurs,Friday but we may open on special calls for buying a bottle of wine ot special group events.

We visited the place for one night, we were a bunch of friends -- The atmosphere was magical, a peaceful place near the Sea of Galilee. A lot of seating areas, 2 pools, the place with spotlessly clean, very good sound systems around the facility and the red wine is great. Highly recommended.

Came here with a group of 30 fellow pilgrims, and was grateful to spend time in the place of one of my favorite parables. I found the church very attractive and not busy at all. In fact, we had Holy Mass in the late afternoon and were the only pilgrims in the church at the time - a serene experience. Afterwards, the couples among us renewed our wedding vows and received a historical-looking document attesting to it. TIP: Contrary to the advice of others reviewing this site, I would consider it a must-see for married, biblically-inclined tourists.
5. Sea of Galilee

Beautiful to look at, but a cruise on a "Jesus Boat" makes for a moving and memorable journey. Look up while on the Sea of Galilee to the imposing Mount Arbel. Life focuses on the sea, its history and the abundant food is provides, such as the St. Peter's Fish. Learn more about the unique geological and weather conditions that can turn this tranquil body of water into a raging sea. Such a treat to experience this Biblically historical Sea of Galilee!

Wow, what a great place this is! The archeological site has been professionally and carefully excavated and the remains are simply one of the coolest treasures we saw in the entire Holy Land! We were on a guided tour and learned this was where Jesus lived for a while with the apostle Peter's mother-in-law. The house has been excavated and you can see where He actually sat, prayed, and ate meals. Incredible! The site also includes an excavated Jewish synagogue, so you can get a feel for worship practices of the Jews in those days. This amazing site has a working church, so be aware you may have to vacate that church above “Peter’s mother in law house” during worship services. They also have clean restrooms, a snack bar and a gift shop. All in all, a great place to spend a couple of hours away from the maddening crowds.

The history of how this boat was discovered, recovered, and preserved is well explained and is amazing. The video is short and to the point. Seeing the actual boat on display was so interesting. This place is well worth the time to visit. And by the way, the gift shop at the site is one of the better ones.
8. The Old City of Safed

The old city of Safed should be seen on a damp winter’s day with mist swirling around the tiny stone houses, or an hour before sunset on a sunny day when the light is golden. Home of the Kabbalah in the sixteenth century, it is still home to lots of cranks and saints. One of the four holy cities of the Holy Land, while Tiberias on the lake is water, Hebron tomb of the patriarchs is earth, Jerusalem which was burned is fire, Safed is air, the spirit. Some of the houses are crumbling away, others have been renewed. Just wander and look. And talk to people .
