The Mount of the Beatitudes is a Christian site on the shores of the sea of Galilee. It's best known for its neo-Byzantine church.
A lot of people just go quickly round the church. But if you want to get away from the crowds and enjoy the area's peace, I recommend you leave the church and go walking in the gardens near the lake.
Situated on the the banks of the lake of Tiberias, the Mount of Beatitudes is the hill where Jesus is believe to have delivered the famous Sermon on the Mount. 'Blessed are the poor in spirit...'
Rather than making your way there in the car, take the 1km walking route which begins at the entrance of the site.
