Description
To understand the Galilee more closely, we can go beyond its famous viewpoints and historic sites and meet the people who live, farm, cook, and preserve traditions here. Inspired by my book about travelling in the region, this experience introduces the Galilee through personal stories, village hospitality, and food.
Our journey might take us into communities of the Lower Galilee, where Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Druze, and Circassian traditions exist side by side. In the Netofa Valley, we may discover crops such as okra, black-eyed peas, and sesame while learning how the land, seasons, and local customs shape what people grow and eat.
Depending on availability and your interests, we can visit family homes, see bread baked in a traditional tabun, meet local producers, or stop at a family-run winery or dairy. A home-cooked meal may become the heart of the day. Travellers seeking a deeper experience can also ask about dinner or an overnight stay with local hosts.
The exact route will be created around the season, the hosts available to welcome us, and the kind of encounters that interest you most. It can focus on cooking and tasting, agriculture, community traditions, personal stories, or a rich combination of them all.
