Travel / Caesarea and Carmel Coast
Harbor lawn and Roman ruins at Caesarea Maritima, expensive harbor fish at Lamani, a golf-club lunch if you splurge, peacocks in a kibbutz courtyard, and a paying cove at Dor.
Routes: Coast North With Children
Visitor front door: shops, restaurants, cafés, and a grassy lawn for kids — ruins are a short walk.
Roman ruins of Caesarea Maritima — and where the Holy Spirit was first poured out on the Gentiles.
Golf if you play it, a yummy restaurant if you don’t — budget as a splurge.
Really good, freshly caught fish at Caesarea harbor — expensive.
Kristi Kate special: come for lunch in Ein Carmel’s artists’ courtyard. Leave after the children have followed the peacocks and you have spent more NIS than planned in the workshops.
A paying INPA cove with kid-scale pools in the rocks — if you pick the right beach, not a flattened ‘Dor/Habonim’ pin.
Outlet shopping in Zikhron Ya’aqov — Adidas, Nike, Aroma — if someone needs shoes or clothes on the Carmel Coast run.
