The 11 Best Things to See and Do in Israel

"A UNESCO World Heritage site near Kiryat Gat, Beit Guvrin-Maresha (once Eleutheropolis) contains an amphitheater, Byzantine church, public-bath ruins, burial caves, and a Jewish cemetery, offering a rich cross-section of Roman and Byzantine-era remains. " - Matthew Kepnes

An amazing place to hike on a spring day. Beautiful architectures from biblical time with rich historical stories. A big wild life. A lot of caves in the area. Well described and maintained area. Difficulty level easy.I highly recommend to travel on foot to experience all the beauty, especially the bathing cave and the Church. It takes approx 3 to 4 hours to complete circular trail. The trails are very scenic.

Very attractive place. You can spend all day long in this fabulous place. The most exciting place is place #11. So, save your energy for the last point. The track is not very difficult for a walk, but there is a possibility to drive a car from point to point. There are a few shops during the track where you can buy water, juice, or ice cream and shaded rest areas where you can eat the snacks that you brought with you.

Impressive man made caves, of mind-blowing proportions 2000 years ago. Erosion starts to take its toll, we were here 10 years ago and can testify to weather (rain) damaging some parts , lime stone being a soft mineral. Go visit before it will have disappeared, and do not forget the Roman town on the other side of the road, with a very large theatre and other major sites. A less toured archaeological site, but worth every minute spent on the road.to get here

Big park with different points of interest. My wife and I came here to see local caves, but it was interesting to see other places here as well. The main thing is to correctly estimate the time needed to view everything interesting here. At least 2-3 hours.

Absolutely stunning place with ancient buildings and things. Pleasant walking trails and rest areas. Also you can use a car to move between areas

Great place to visit during the spring. There are no shadows so keep in mind hats and other sun protections. Awesome wind and blossom It’s not trolley/wheel compatible tracks - only bell caverns are accessible for chair wheel or trolley. Will revisit it again definitely

Very interesting place. At spring it also very green and many flowers. Many places to make picnic. Caves worth visiting at every age. Children were excited and wanted more caves. No shade almost during the trail.

Within the national park includes the remains of two ancient cities Maresha and Bet Guvrin. The park is famous for fascinating caves dug for various purposes- cisterns, storage rooms, shelters for doves, stables, burials, olive presses.... In the main park, there are 4 parking lots and the caves are accessible by walking. Of all the caves, we liked the maze cave (which is bit of maze) with lot of steps (physically tiring) and the bell caves. If you have a vehicle, it takes 2-3 hrs to complete the park and there are drinking water taps at few places. Definitely recommended to observe our ancient human settlement. Only very few sites are accessible for disabled or with stroller - Bell caves is one of them. Tip: Get the brochure without fail to get to know the details and route.
