Akko
Akko is one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Israel that sits just across the bay from Haifa. The city is strategically located in a natural harbor at the far end of Haifa Bay on the coast of the Mediterranean's Levantine Sea. Akko was an important waypoint on the region's coastal road as well as the road cutting inland along the Jezreel Valley.
Akko is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that contains the ruins of numerous cultures that once thrived there. Crusader-era streets, Ottoman-era citadels, Phoenician-era seawalls, and ancient Judean ruins are among them. After a few centuries, the first settlement during the Early Bronze Age was abandoned, but a large town was established during the Middle Bronze Age. It is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited settlements, having been inhabited since then. Akko is also a multicultural city with Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Baha'is. You should walk through the colorful souk (market) up to the seafront marina and eat at one of the delicious seafood restaurants, or even take a boat ride to watch the fisherman at work.
