With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Acre, 19 miles away, has to offer. Akko Harbor, Hamam al- Basha Turkish Bath and Citadel of Acre alone make the drive out worth it. Carmel Center is another popular option. It’s 19 miles away and boasts tons of intriguing things to do. Baha’i Gardens, Bat Galim beach and Stella Maris Monastery are just the start.
