Itinerary:

Start the day with a drive along the coastal road, following the Mediterranean Sea.

Drive across the Plain of Armageddon (Megiddo) to the town of Nazareth, with a brief stop at Mount Precipice.

The first stop in Nazareth will be the Church of the Annunciation, the city's most impressive and spectacular site, considered one of the holiest churches in Christianity. On the ground floor of the church is the Grotto of the Annunciation, which Catholics consider to be the ruins of Mary's childhood home.

Next to the church, visit the Carpentry of St. Joseph, believed to be the site of Joseph's carpentry workshop.

From Nazareth, pass through nearby Cana—the site of Jesus' first miracle: turning water into wine—to the Sea of ​​Galilee.

Contemplate the Mount of Beatitudes, where, according to tradition, Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, before arriving in Capernaum, an ancient fishing village on the shores of the Sea of ​​Galilee that was the center of Jesus' messianic work. Known as "his city," he spent much of his life here, healing the sick, preaching in the synagogue, and performing miracles.

Along the coast, visit Tabgha and the church that commemorates the miracle of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes.

Continue through Tiberias, named after the Roman emperor, to the baptismal site on the Jordan River: Yardenit,

At the end of the day, return to the embarkation point, passing Mount Tabor, the site of the Transfiguration, along the way.
Notes:
Important: Wear appropriate clothing to enter the church (knee-length pants, a shawl to cover your shoulders, etc.)

Children under 4 years of age (including infants) are not permitted to visit.
