South of the Kabri junction, in the heart of a green and shady grove, is a parking lot that is a combination of pleasant pastorality with a painful history of Palestine. In the parking lot are a series of original armored vehicles that constitute an impressive monument in memory of the victims of the Yechi’am convoy who fell in the War of Independence when they tried to break the siege of Yechi’am and the Western Galilee. In place is an accessible path, picnic tables and parking.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
Come and Taste Experience Discover – the Westen Galilee is NOW!
