For some, the word “Israel” seems to evoke fear - the war-torn nation has had its fair share of rough times and misconceptions that seemed to have multiplied over the years. However, the beauty of Israel should not be forgotten underneath the rubble of its past; towering silhouettes of century-old churches and holy mosques that resonate in prayer against the setting sun are the first thoughts that come to mind for others. Bask in the beauty of this region, and witness the must-visit monasteries that will reel you in completely.
If you’re seeking accommodation choices, there are numerous hotels to stay in Israel, providing excellent options for a wonderful holiday. However, if you want to experience life like a local, check out the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Israel below.
