Begin on the shores of the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) — a freshwater lake, calm and shimmering, surrounded by green hills and villages that still feel timeless. This is where Jesus walked on water, calmed the storm, and called to the fishermen who became apostles.

Visit Capernaum, the “town of Jesus,” where basalt ruins speak softly of miracles and early teachings. Here, the foundations of a synagogue remain, shaded by olive trees, with the silence of reverence wrapped in sunlight. Beside it, the octagonal church above Peter’s house hovers like a modern memory above ancient rock.

Just north, climb the gentle hill to the Mount of Beatitudes. The view is wide, open, and full of peace — the kind of place where blessings belong in the wind. A simple church sits surrounded by gardens, and the breeze carries birdsong, echoes of “Blessed are the meek.”

Farther along the lake, the Church of the Multiplication in Tabgha marks the site where five loaves and two fish became abundance. Inside, a mosaic of bread and fish rests before the altar — a symbol of faith as nourishment. Nearby, Primacy of Peter sits in black stone and humility beside the lake. Step into the water, let it touch your feet, and feel the story become yours.

Inland, explore the city of Nazareth — where history meets living culture. Visit the Basilica of the Annunciation, where Mary’s “yes” changed the course of belief. Beneath modern concrete lies ancient stone — layers of life, hope, and holy surprise.

But Galilee is not only sacred. It is stunning.

Drive through rolling hills covered in vineyards, pomegranate trees, and wildflowers. Pass by shepherds and stone villages where time slows. In Safed, the air is thick with mysticism and blue-painted doorways. This ancient center of Kabbalah hums with quiet wonder — artists, scholars, prayers written in brush and ink.

And the food… Galilee cooks with sunlight and soul.

Fresh tabbouleh, herbed labneh, za’atar-dusted flatbreads, honey from hillside hives, olives pressed within sight of the sea, and St. Peter’s fish grilled beside the lake. Eat under fig trees. Drink mint tea on quiet porches. Let your meals linger like psalms in the mouth.

At Viewpoint Horizons, we offer Galilee not as a route, but as a rhythm. Boat rides on the Kinneret at dawn. Private moments in ancient chapels. Walks through the Jesus Trail, following sacred geography one step at a time. Farm stays with Druze and Maronite hosts. Jewish, Muslim, and Christian voices welcoming you into the living mosaic of the land.

Because Galilee isn’t about standing where something once happened. It’s about feeling that it still does.

Experience Galilee with Viewpoint Horizons — and walk into a landscape where faith still breathes, and peace is not a promise, but a presence.
