Ein Hod Artists Colony

Nestled in the low hills overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the artists village of Ein Hod sits just fifteen minutes down the old coastal highway from Haifa, Israel’s third largest city. But in Ein Hod’s idyllic serenity artists can focus on the creative process, aware that they live amongst leaders in their chose field. Indeed, ten Ein Hod residents have won the Israel Prize in painting, dance, literature and acting. Today the village has 22 galleries, 14 art workshops, and 2 museums. In addition their are eateries in the town square. Just up the hill from Ein Hod we can find the Arab town of Ein Hawd whose residents originally lived in Ein Hod but were displace during Israel’s War of Independence. It took many years but about ten years ago Ein Hawd was finally attached to the Israeli electrical grid.

How to put together your Water and Wine tour of Israel

On our Water and Wine Tours website you will not find standard tours.

Don’t worry. We’ll make sure that you experience the must-see sites in the country. But we’ve also included a comprehensive list of sites, by region for people with many different interests, with enough description for you to ascertain whether it’s the sort of place you want to spend your time.

You know your budget and how much time you have to spend here.

So here are our recommendations, based on years of leading all sorts of tours throughout the country.

Ask yourself if this trip is a vacation. Do you want to see sites but also feel really relaxed at the end of each day? So that you don’t need a few days of sleep upon your return home? If this is the case then try to restrict yourself to three major sites per day. Between the sites, travel and lunch 8-10 hours will pass quickly.
If you’re more inclined to describe yourself as a pilgrim or someone who wants a survey of sites, then expect to visit up to five sites per day. You’ll be spiritually satisfied but you’ll also need to get a good night’s sleep every night.
