Caesarea

The ancient port city of Caesarea was established 2000 years ago by Herod the Great as a tribute to the Roman Emperor, Augustus Caesar. Its rich archaeological heritage includes the remains of Roman architecture notably an aqueduct, theatre, houses and palaces. For diving enthusiasts, diving the ruins of Herod's city provides an extraordinary experience. Modern day Caesarea has become well known for its fine homes, 18-hole golf course, luxury hotels, galleries and boutiques. Miles of sandy beaches stretch along the Mediterranean coastline and visitors can enjoy the sun soaked atmosphere amidst this luxurious backdrop.
