The walled Old City of Akko (Acre), surrounded on three sides by the sea, is one of the oldest and most fascinating cities in Israel and throughout the Mediterranean. The alleys of the walled town preserve the medieval contour of the city and are replete with Crusader and Ottoman sites, churches, mosques, synagogues, and ancient buildings. The Old City today is a lively and vibrant town with private homes, markets, restaurants, an active port, hotels, and B&Bs
