Are you in the mood for sun, sea and beaches? Israel has many seaside resorts where you can while away an entire day by the sea. The country’s best known resorts are Herzliya, Tel Aviv and Eilat. Herzliya and ‘the white city’ of Tel Aviv are on the Mediterranean Sea and have white sandy beaches, wonderful restaurants and trendy shops on their sea fronts. The popular resort of Eilat is on the Red Sea and is famed for its spectacular underwater world.
It's easy to take a day trip to the impressive city of Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. The distance between these two cities is 70 kilometres and it only takes an hour by car. If you book with Transavia Holidays, you can add a rental car to your booking, which will give you complete freedom to stop at some great places along the way. Immerse yourself in history and search for the locations of biblical stories. If you have any time left, drive on Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus.
If you love food, you’ll definitely be in your element in Israel, even if you’re a vegetarian. Hummus, pita bread, falafel, shakshouka and dates all feature highly in the country’s Mediterranean and Eastern cuisine. Every street corner has pomegranate sellers and it’s also easy to find the popular Jaffa oranges. The local population eats a Kosher diet, which is food that has been prepared according to the customs of Judaism. Have you worked up an appetite yet?
