OVERVIEW
Galilee is a broad region in northern Israel, encompassing a large freshwater lake, rolling farmland, forested hills and diverse towns. Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze communities all contribute to its cultural landscape. Religious sites, archaeological remains and agricultural villages are spread across several distinct subregions.
Road travel is the easiest way to connect the large freshwater lake, pilgrimage towns, historic hill communities and agricultural valleys. Religious travel remains important, but food, hiking and the mix of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze communities give the region a much broader character. Several bases are useful because the landscape is too varied for a single day trip.
