Tiberius, Ceasorano, Akkro

Day 4
Tiberius
Next day we bussed to Tiberius, stopping at Nazareth on the way. Sad to see Nazareth and these biblical placed turned into tourist places selling garish trinkets, with expensive cafes and hotels. It must be a nightmare in the hot tourist season as it was so crowded and this was off-season.

Ceasorano
It was a pleasure to stop at the old town of Ceasorano, as it was a beautiful place with ancient Turkish steam baths. They had gorgeous arches and colored tiles still like new. The baths covered many rooms and had large pools to go into after their steam baths.

Akkro
Next stop at Akkro, another original ancient town. It had a stone medieval inn with 35 huge stone arches at ground level divided into rooms for their horses and donkeys. Above another 35 stone arches dividing rooms for the travellers. Immense cobble stoned courtyard in the centre. It was reminiscent of knights and their horses.
Stopped for the night at Tiberius at a lovely hotel. Miko had told us he was going to stop at a café the next day for fish and chips and would only cost us $20.00. We all agreed that we would buy stuff for our own lunch so we went shopping at a deli and bought buns and cold meats, salads, etc. I had a soldier search my purse before I could go in the store. Tiberius is a lovely city on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The downtown had interesting shops, cafes and craft places.
