Israel

Episode #38 – 13th October 2020

Coming up in this episode.

Israel…small in size, but massive in what it offers its visitors.  This fascinating country has truly been blessed with so many positive attributes: Great weather, diverse landscapes, world renowned culinary options and millennia of history & archaeology to explore. It’s also the Holy Land, hosting important religious sites for the three main monotheistic religions, but at the same time is a country where going out and having fun is a way of life.  

One of the best places for fun is Tel Aviv. This vibrant city is not only the business centre of the country, it’s also the place to party!  Tel Aviv offers a 24/7 type of environment where days can be spent doing everything from exploring great museums to relaxing and soaking up the sun on one of its many beaches.  And, if you think Tel Aviv is buzzing during the day, the night will make your jaw drop!  The city comes alive at night, with an abundance of bars and nightclubs to suit any preference. You can savour some incredible cuisine at one of the quality restaurants, then party until dawn.  No wonder they call Tel Aviv the city that never sleeps. 

It’s holiday perfection all wrapped up in one little package!

In this episode we discover why Israel is perfect year round destinations and full of hidden gems, including;

  • Childhood dreams of being Indiana Jones can come to life
  • Try your luck walking on water
  • You ski in Israel… What, I know!!!
  • Some of the best food around, including a massive Vegan scene
