Caesarea
Getting there

Caesarea

Train to Binyamina, then a short 15 minute bus ride to the beach, the Roman theatre and the ancient harbor.

Caesarea is a rare mix of Roman ruins on the sea, beach, art and golf. Take the train to Binyamina and finish with a short bus or taxi ride, an easy day without a car.

What to see

Caesarea national park

A Roman theatre, ancient streets, a bath house and a hippodrome, right on the sea.

The harbor of Caesarea

The harbor built by Herod, today full of galleries, restaurants and short boat trips.

The beach and the farmers market

An organized beach, plus a market with local produce and food near the hotels.

Zichron Yaakov

Pair it with Caesarea: the founders street, wineries and a view over the Carmel, reached from Binyamina by a short bus or taxi.

Good to know

1

Check the line 80 times before setting off, at some hours a short taxi from the station is easier.

2

The theatre and the harbor offer little shade, so bring a hat, water and sunscreen even on a cool day.

3

You can do Caesarea in the morning and Zichron Yaakov in the afternoon, both from Binyamina station.
