Part 1 of a 2-part Caesarea series takes us to the outskirts of Herod's magnificent port city. Beginning at the little know but amazing archeology museum of Kibbutz Sedot Yam, where we will travel through Roman and Greek mythology and Talmudic personalities as we walk by statues and inscriptions recovered from the ruins of Caesarea. While there, we will visit the Hannah Szenes Museum and learn about this amazing woman who parachuted into occupied Europe to support Allied efforts and help rescue Jews.
We'll stop for lunch in the Caesarea port. You can bring your own or buy at one of the restaurants.
We will then take a cool refreshing walk-through the Mei Kedem (aka Park Alona) water tunnel built 2000 years ago to supply water to Caesarea. Water can reach our waists so bring water shoes and bathing suits. A perfect ending to a summer tiyul.

Even if you’ve explored Caesarea before, this tour offers a fresh perspective on the history of the Phoenician Straton’s Tower and King Herod’s magnificent port city. We’ll uncover unusual and massive features often overlooked by standard tours. Step into the new visitor center, built within the ancient vaults that once supported Herod’s “other” temple mount, where an engaging video and authentic artifacts guide you through Caesarea’s many historical layers. Stroll along the Crusader walls and imagine yourself as a knight standing guard against Sultan Baybars’ relentless Mamluk forces. This is Caesarea like you’ve never experienced it.
Stroll through Talbia and the German Colony, two of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods. Discover elegant mansions, tree-lined streets, and a rich blend of Jewish, Arab, and European history. Enjoy vibrant cafés, boutique shops, and hidden courtyards—where past and present merge in a uniquely Jerusalemite experience! Details here.
