Top 1 in Top 4 Best Lakes to Visit in Israel
This freshwater lake is situated in northern Israel's Galilee region. The Sea of Galilee was created by a basin in the Galilee valley that is home to more than seventeen different natural springs. The Holy Bible places a lot of emphasis on this 165 km long freshwater lake. It is also known as the Lake of Kinneret after the name of a nearby region thought to have served as the refuge for the earliest known human beings.
Visitors to this lake can partake in a few water sports like kayaking and kiteboarding on the rocky beaches surrounding it. This reservoir, which is one of Israel's major seas and the country's largest freshwater lake, serves as Israel's second-largest source of drinking water after the Jordan River. Hot springs and nature preserves can be found in abundance around the lake.
