Perched on the Mediterranean coastline in northern Israel is an enchanting ancient city waiting for you to visit. The city of Acre, also called Akko, is known for its tumultuous past. It’s history dates back to the Early Bronze Age, around 3000 BCE, and it is one of the few cities that not only survived for thousands of years but continues to flourish today! As a city that has been influenced by the Romans, Ottomans, Crusaders, Mamelukes, Byzantines, and the British, it is no wonder that it is now a melting pot of different individuals. Here you will find a fascinating mix of Jews, Christians, and Muslims living in harmony.
This peaceful coexistence has created a city ripe with opportunities and incredible tourist destinations. Whether you want to explore its ancient past, enjoy its modern amenities, or simply immerse yourself in the culture, I have the best guide for Acre for you.

In Acre!
One of the best things to do in Acre is to take the time to visit the Old City ruins, which are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To truly experience all that the Old City has to offer, I highly suggest that you take my guided tours to Acre. For many years, the site was dedicated to the excavation and preservation of the ruins, but now it has plenty of visitor areas to experience, from underground tunnels to the Knights’ Hall.
On the edges of the ancient city, you can take a pleasant jaunt along the coast from the top of the distinctive ancient walls or shop among the trader’s selling their wares. You can even take a boat ride from Akko’s Marina if you would like to see the formidable city from the water.
What to See
There is more to see and do in Acre than just the ancient ruins, and I will be your best guide to Acre. There is something for everyone in this colorful city. If you are looking for souvenirs, the main market and the Turkish Bazaar are the places to be. Vibrant clothing, sweet treats, and delightful souvenirs are around every corner. Speaking of, Acre has an endless supply of spectacular restaurants.
I will take you to my favorite spots in the city. Of course, because there is a melting pot of individuals coexisting in Acre, that means various religions are represented here. You can experience them at the Ahmed Al-Jazzar Mosque and St. John’s Church. Lastly, it wouldn’t be a proper visit to Acre if you didn’t walk through the gardens of the Baha’i Centre or relax at the Ghattas Turkish Spa.
