Akko (Acre) represents tumultuous the history of the Land of Israel possibly better than any other city in the country. Akko is a city that has been shaped by the Romans, Ottomans, Crusaders, Mamelukes, Byzantines, and British, and fittingly is today home to a brilliantly coexistent mixed population of Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Old City of Akko is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest ports in the world, and the city is also home to part of the Bahai World Center (the other part being in Haifa, just down the road), another UNESCO World Heritage Site

The remains of the Crusader town both above and below street level and because the city is one of a very small number of Ottoman walled towns with citadels, mosques, khans and baths, which have been preserved. In Akko, these sites were built on top of the ruins of the Crusader structures. Akko is still not as developed for tourists as other ancient port cities such as Caesarea and Jaffa.

The Old City of Akko is very much a living, breathing place. The colorful shuk still trades as it has for hundreds of years with traders selling the whole spectrum of goods you might go to a shopping mall to purchase. As you reach the sea front, you’ll see Akko’s Marina where tens of small, working fishing boats are docked. The Old City has a large number of incredibly popular Arabic style restaurants specializing in the fish caught by the local fishermen.
