Itinerary for Galilee and the Golan
The plan was to pick a hire car in Hafia, and then travel to the Sea of Galilee/Golan region checking out (Tsfat, Rosh Pina, Banias Nature Reserve and Castle Nimrod).
Is it practical to do this in say 3 days? Is there a town/place that it would make sense to stay in as a base? Safed or Tiberious maybe?
Best Answer
T'veria (Tiberious) would definitely be the best place to use as a "base." As for three-four days? I would think a week would be better if you want to be relaexed. That said, you could definitely do it in less time - not to worry.
As for things to do, definitely Tzfat, Rosh Hanikra, The Golan (I recommend a jeep trip in the area), and the Kineret (Sea of Gallilee). Also, you may want to consider a day/half-day trip up to Metullah and see the Hermon Mountain.
Hope that's helpful!!
