How to get there? Horvat Kev is in the middle of the Rabin neighborhood in Karmiel. Drive on Road 85 from Akko towards Kiryat Shmona and turn right at the western entrance of Karmiel to Road 784. After a kilometer turn right to Karmiel and on the Mota Gor bridge turn left towards the city center to Nashai Israel Street. About 100 meters after the first square turn right to the parking lot, from there walk about 50 meters inside Yitzhak Rabin Park.
Horvat Kev is a site from the Byzantine period (1500 years ago). You can see a church with an original mosaic and a wine cellar. The whole complex is a monastery. You should combine the visit with a walk inside Rabin Park, which offers playgrounds, a roller rink, and many benches where you can have picnics.
