Galilee

The green hills of Galilee, the pastoral backdrop of dramatic biblical encounters, religious experiences, Roman subjugation, Crusader dominance, Ottoman intrigues and modern pioneering settlements. A timeless area bound by the Golan Heights and the hills of Lebanon in the north, and the Sea of Galilee in the south. A cradle of spirituality, a breadbasket and provider for the surrounding area. In short, a microcosm of human endeavor and experience.

The Sea of Galilee (Kinneret in Hebrew) isn't really a sea, but actually Israel's largest freshwater lake (13 by 8 miles). Located in the northern part of the country, it is surrounded by historic sites linked to all religions.
