Tiberias Spa, Tiberias

Advantages: Beautiful scenery
Disadvantages: No real disadvantages

...From a viewpoint of natural beauty, the Sea of Galilee is very promising. But there wasn’t really all that much to see (or did I just miss it.) Tiberias has a few nice archaeological sites and you can rent a bicycle if you want. You could go to Capernaum and other sites related to Jesus’ life.

And you can’t even get in there if you’re wearing shorts (a common, if understandable, phenomenon in religious sites in Israel).... Read review

In the far north, There is the Golan... Read review

As with most Spa Experiences, this did not come cheap but I did not mind paying the £35 fee in order to have a thoroughly relaxing experience...Something to do...on my own...away from the hustle and bustle of normal life... I was both delighted and disappointed with my Spa Experience. The Spa itself is fabulous. The variety of saunas and steam rooms and relaxation experiences is extensive and very well designed. I shall explain more about what I liked later on but, firstly, I shall explain the three things that disappointed me about my Spa Experience. They are as follows: 1. This is my biggest moan of all. If it is relaxation you are going for, this Spa is not the place. It would be if you had the place to yourself but, unfortunately... Read review
