A few kilometers from Nazareth and from Lake Tiberias (Kinneret) rises the biblical Mount Tabor, or Mount of the Transfiguration of the Lord in the photo it is impossible to convey the beautiful views. The calm waters of Lake Kinneret flow nearby, where fishermen still catch delicious St. Peter's fish, which can be tasted at a local Arabic restaurant. There is a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church of the 12 Apostles off the coast of Kinneret, which is cared for by a Greek priest. Peacocks walk sedately in the temple garden, and the most beautiful bougainvilleas bloom. The visit is unforgettable. One of the most peaceful corners of Israel.
