The weather in Israel is one of its biggest asset.Personally I prefer spring to any other seasons here, wild flowers are everwhere , even in the dessert.
The map of Israel in English. You wont find Caesarea on it, its too small but look for Hadera and imagine Caesarea next to it on the beach.
You drive on the right side of the highway. All road signs are in Hebrew , English and Arabic and they strategically placed, so you wont get lost.
The time difference varies from a couple hours for most cities in Europe to 10 hours in Los Angeles, if you click on time difference you will find a simple program to help you determine the time difference between your home and Villa Caesarea Vacation Apartment.
Caesarea is located near the city of Hadera . Half way between Tel Aviv and Haifa, and less than 2 hours from Jerusalem with several great highways to take you there, we recommend the pay highway , highway 6 for fast safe journey. Caesarea in modern days is being developed and managed by CDC a company owned by Baron Rothschild and is an amazing blend between the ancient and the new, it is a guarded community with great villas just like it was in the Roman days. The link will take you to the CDC web site where you will find most of the attractions operated by CDC the greatest of which is the Port of Caesarea.
Airlines and fares , there is the great mistery , the economy fares range from a low of $889 round trip from San Francisco to Tel Aviv to !!! well you name the figure. But found this great site Mobissimo.com that gives you all the fares and all the airlines side by side for you to choose. Great tool! plenty of choices.
