Rosh Hanikra is an incredible geological creation at the farthest point north on Israel’s Mediterranean Coastline in the Western Galilee region. The grottoes and caves at Rosh Hanikra are the result of thousands of years of the power of the sea, and after a short yet exhilarating cable car ride down the cliff face, visitors can explore these incredible formations for themselves, following trails throughout the year. Just meters from Israel’s border with Lebanon, this is an amazing point, a beautiful point, and a point that you will not regret visiting. There are also regular tours to Rosh Hanikra from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Within the grottoes at Rosh Hanikra is somewhat of a love story, a story of love between the sea and the mountain. The sea makes unusual noises as the jagged rocks force it in different directions, slowing and speeding it up, and pushing it onto different areas of the grotto, whilst the carved formations create unusual and eery shapes and light formations as you move about.
