Subjects : The ancient San Giovanni D'Acri, the port of access to the crusaders and, after the fall of Jerusalem, the last capital of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. Wonderful all the historical center, its fortifications, its mosques, the caravanserai, the Ottoman architecture merged with that crusade. Its spectacular harbor! We must see the Fortress of the Hospitallers with its imposing hall of the Knights and the imposing columns of the refectory. Well it restored is made even more enjoyable by multimedia installations and rockets of great effetto.Bellissima the Grand Mosque, the 'Hammam al-Basha, the defensive walls, the entire historic center with turkish bazar and its mercato.Impressionante of the Tunnel Crusaders Gallery or the Templars, the tunnel was used as a strategic underground passageway that connected the fortress to the port.

Recommended equipment : Wide angle above all, personally I used the 16-35 f / 4 of EOS 6D and I was fine. Very few occasions for both telephoto zoom for handyman. Acre is mainly landscape and archeology. Important a good tripod for night views of the city and harbor. You do not need the flash if your SLR holds good high ISO.

Best months : All year definitely.

How to get there : The main access to Israel is the Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, no particular control on arrival, already they know that there must affix the visa in the passport and will issue a coupon puts in its place to keep with your travel document . To go to Acre would be too long by the bus of Egged (www.egged.co.il) that also depart from the airport, much more comfortable and economicala solution of the car. Rental Israel is very cheap and widespread. Go along the only highway from Tel Aviv to the north of the country. There are no tollbooths, the toll will be directly counted on your credit card as there are barriers that read the number plate of the car and calculate the cost of your journey motorway. From Acre are about two hours drive away, even less.

Visits : There is a combined ticket with various options that allows you to see the fortress of the Knights Templar Tunnel + + Turkish bath and other attractions, for details please refer to the complete website translated into Italian.
