Rosh Hanikra - beautiful water caves

If you are travelling along the western Galilee area do yourself a favor and stop at Rosh Hanikra to admire nature’s beauty.

Rosh Hanikra translates from Hebrew to something like “top of the grottos”.

If you are asking yourself what are grottos here is the answer: those are caves created by the action of the sea on the soft cliff rock. Here is a picture to give you a better idea:

The grottos are beautiful and so is the view from Rosh Hanikra. In the past you could only approach the grottos from the sea, however nowadays there is a cable car that will take you there. This beautiful geological formation is located very close to Israel’s border with Lebanon, on the Mediterranean Sea. It isn’t too far from Akko and is well worthwhile to see, so take my word for it and check it out.
