This ancient port city in the north of Israel has many names. Most tourists know it as Acre, in Arabic it is known as Akka but the locals call it Akko. Akko’s history dates back to the bronze age and many of the world’s most influential leaders have passed through old Acre at some point or another, from England’s King Richard I and France’s King Philipp II to Napoleon who tried to conquer Acre in 1799 but did not succeed.
Akko is a city along the shores of the Mediterranean, home to about 55,000 residents. This is one of the few cities in Israel with a mixed population of Arabs and Jews. According to the city’s website (in Hebrew), 72% of the population is Jewish and 28% Arab. However, you’ll be visiting the Old City of Akko where almost all of the residents are Arab.
The Old City of Akko is a UNESCO World Heritage site and for good reason: The city is over four thousand years old! Archeologists keep discovering more and more of the awesomeness of that history – and you get to see it all when visiting.
Akko offers a thrilling mix of archeology, authentic Middle Eastern markets, the blue mediterranean sea, and some delicious ethnic food. It’s a lot like the Old City of Jerusalem, only with a view to the sea. Let’s start exploring what there is to do in Akko.
