Netanya - Culture 

Israel is so full of unique things to see and do, and tour schedules are so packed, it is sometimes difficult to find time to just relax. Well, if you can make the time, there's no better place than the beaches of Netanya, some of the most beautiful in Israel. Its pleasant mild climate has made the city a most desirable tourist attraction and resort area.

Netanya is one of Israel's premier seaside resort cities. Occupying a beautiful stretch of Mediterranean coast (14 kilometres of the most beautiful shores in the world), the city provides every manner of salt-water recreation. Netanya's large French speaking community contributes a European flair to this bustling city. The city is conveniently located just off one of Israel's major cross-country highways enabling easy access to many of Israel's major attractions including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Nazareth and Tiberias.

There are a wide selection of hotels, restaurants and places of entertainment appealing such as cinemas, bars, discos, and several modern shopping centres to the national and international tourists. Its central geographic location allows easy access to tourist sites all over the country. Nearby services provide a wide variety of activities from nature walks for the whole family to sports such as miniature plane flying, jeep tours, horseback riding and sail boating. Wind gliding in Netanya is a common thing. Many people practice wind gliding which is breathtaking.

Visitors can enjoy the lovely shoreline by walking on the new 700-meter-long sea promenade situated along the sea cliff. The promenade also offers playgrounds, benches, grassy areas, and bicycle routes.

There are eight official lifeguard stations along the seashore from Goldmintz beach in the south to Blue Bay Beach in the north. All stations have modern facilities with showers, sheds, first-aid services and rented deck chairs, open from May until October. The central beach Sironit is open all year around.

Public bus service and the hotel's private shuttle provide transportation between the hotel and the city centre.

Agricultural villages, orchards and orange groves, open fields and authentic Israeli countryside surround Netanya. These areas can be best visited by a short day trip by car. Those who are fascinated by wildlife can feed the huge turtles in the Alexander River, surviving against all odds in the semi-polluted waters of the river. Finally, do not miss a visit to the nursery of Kfar Rupin, where agricultural experiments are being conducted on a large variety of plants from all around the world.
