I remember this first time I visited Akko Israel some years ago. Walking through the cobblestone streets of the old city, I felt as though I had taken a step back in time. The city itself actually protrudes out into the Sea just north of Haifa<\/a>. Spelled Acco by locals, this city was the former capital of the Crusader kingdom and the birthplace of the Bahai religion. This small town is now one of the country’s three World Heritage Sites.<\/p>\n Acre (another common spelling) was traditionally considered to be a leading fishing port in the Middle East. Today it is mainly used by small fishing boats and a tourist friendly marina in addition to a large variety of things to see and do:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Akko Israel offers something for the whole family; a fascinating history and glimpse of the past, lively upbeat festivals in the summertime, or maybe just a romantic evening stroll along the city walls overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean sea.<\/p>\n FYI: <\/b>There are almost no real overnight accommodations in the city so plan day trips only. Although you can check our some of our top recommendations for Bed and Breakfasts” title=”>Bed and Breakfasts”>Bed and Breakfasts<\/a> or Haifa Hotels<\/a> located very conveniently close to this ancient city.<\/p>\n More about Northern Israel<\/a> from Israel Travel Secrets<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” use_custom_gutter=”off” gutter_width=”3″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” parallax_3=”off” parallax_method_3=”on” parallax_4=”off” parallax_method_4=”on” disabled=”off”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” background_color=”#4989b7″ use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Lag BaOmer Festival A Celebration Around the Bonfire” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” use_custom_gutter=”off” gutter_width=”3″ padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” make_equal=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”on” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”on” parallax_3=”off” parallax_method_3=”on” parallax_4=”off” parallax_method_4=”on” disabled=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”The Ancient 4000 Year Old City of Akko Israel” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” global_module=”2521″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” custom_padding=”0px||0px|”][et_pb_row global_parent=”2521″ admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_code global_parent=”2521″ admin_label=”FB COMMENTS” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How to get the most out the Jewish holidays during your Israel holiday vacation – from the spiritual feeling on eve of Yom Kippur to the beautiful harvest festival celebrations on a kibbutz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[303],"tags":[448],"aioseo_notices":[],"cc_featured_image_caption":{"caption_text":false,"source_text":false,"source_url":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3328"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3405,"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328\/revisions\/3405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Visiting Akko Israel<\/h2>\n
