Home Swap Israel: We live in a piece of heaven – a beautiful Mexican adobe-style inspired house. All-natural materials, wooden and plenty of sunlight. A view to the sea of Galilee, from all around and and a well equipped kitchen with a geodesic dome.

About the location

Home Swap Israel: Israel’s largest freshwater lake, the Sea of Galilee is also known as Lake Tiberias or Lake Kinneret and is the place where Jesus is said to have walked on water. According to the Bible, much of his ministry was carried out around the lake. Today, it’s an important Christian pilgrimage site. The lake is one of Israel’s prime water sources and a popular place for relaxing on its beaches, cycling or walking.

Here you’ll find the well-preserved remains of a 4th-century synagogue. Built in white limestone which sits above the ruins of an earlier Roman synagogue.

Sitting at the altitude of 200 meters below sea level. The Sea of Galilee is the second-lowest lake in the world after the Dead Sea, which is, however, a saltwater lake.

Galilee is ancient! In fact six thousand years ago it was a thriving community and filled with activity. Natural forests were cleared away for mountain farms and villages, and in it’s plains large communities and cities developed. More than 4,000 years ago Hazor with biblical fame was an important trading center, and 3,500 years ago Joshua and the Israelite tribes conquered Galilee.

Galilee was also the birthplace of Shimon Bar Yohai regarded as the first Jewish mystic around the second century. The small town of Safed is also in Galilee, the birth of the Kabbalah.

Galilee is still for the most unknown to the world. It is a Israel travel destination at a slower pace to bask on the beach on a tranquil beach, sit under an olive tree, walk on a cobblestone street, and enjoy the local life.
