Soak up the views from here over the Sea of Galilee and Golan Heights to explore the Greco-Roman ruins, including the amphitheatre, crumbled mausoleum, basilica terrace, as well as other theatres and treasures. Start the visit walking the "Docomanos" street that leads to the theatre which is different than other roman theatres, since this one is directed west instead of north. Proceed to the basilica church to see its octagonal altar which was a temple. Continue to the high street "Cardomaximo" which means the high street. The direction of this street is from east to west, usually the roman streets are from north to south. Then, visit the town’s museum to admire some of the precious artefacts recovered from the site, including mosaics and marble statues. Admire the breathtaking view of the Sea of Galilee, Tiberias, and the Golan Heights. You day ends with a hotel drop-off.
