Western Galilee

An idyllic, if sleepy, site on the coast. The secluded beach is known for its abundant sea life, including sea turtles during July and August when they come ashore to lay their eggs. North of the beach, the shore is lined with small rock formations which house a lot of sea life in their water-filled pools. You will see fishermen standing on the rocks, giving the illusion that they are standing on the water. Another sight is "Achzivland" - in the 70s Eli Avivi, an Israeli hipster, declared this piece of land next to the Achziv National Park an independent nation. Avivi's micro-nation has not been officially recognized by the Israeli government, but he will stamp your passport if you enter through the foreboding fence that surrounds this tiny bit of land. (Remember that proof of having been to Israel in your passport can cause unintended visa trouble with many Islamic countries.) Achzivland boasts its own private beach, a cheap hostel, and a museum.

The kibbutz has as its western perimeter wall an actual Roman Aqueduct which is a great sight to behold.

This aqueduct has conquered time far better than the Ceasarea aqueduct, and it has almost completely been preserved in height and look on a distance of about 400 m. Best to walk in from the most northern point of Shomrat village, because probably from the museum you will not be able to climb on top of the aqueduct. You might also just walk straight towards the aqueduct from the highway – it is clearly visible from there.

Located in Kibbutz Lohame Hageta'ot, whose name means "Ghetto Warriors" since it was founded in 1949 by Holocaust survivors, Jewish partisans, and survivors of the Ghetto Uprising. The museum contains many things related to the Warsaw Uprising.

An archaeological dig that takes place every odd year's summer. If you're studying archaeology it's great for field experience. It is for students who sign up only, no tourists are permitted.
