Rent a holiday apartment in Caesarea

Key facts on the subject

Caesarea is located on Israel’s Mediterranean coastal plain. Caesarea Maritima was an ancient harbor city on the eastern Mediterranean and is now part of the historic area of Caesarea National Park.

The historic harbor as a separate travel reference

The ancient harbor city was significantly expanded under Herod the Great; the harbor shaped its historical importance. Caesarea Maritima therefore represents the historic area of the destination, while Caesarea refers to the modern town.

The location for your holiday apartment search

The historic area is located approximately 1–2 km south of present-day Caesarea in the adjacent Caesarea National Park. This spatial distinction helps differentiate the visitor area from the accommodation location: the name Caesarea Maritima does not automatically refer to the accommodation location.

Plan your stay deliberately

For a holiday apartment in present-day Caesarea, your search should focus on the modern town. If the ancient harbor city and its archaeological remains are the main reason for your trip, treat Caesarea Maritima as a separate historic point of reference when planning. This keeps your holiday apartment search focused on the desired location.
