With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Tiberias, 16 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Sea of Galilee, Tiberias Hot Springs and Hamat Tiberias National Park. The locals will also probably point you toward Acre, 16 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Akko Harbor. (But we’re also huge fans of Hamam al- Basha Turkish Bath and Citadel of Acre.)
