Rosh Hanikra

In the far North-West of Israel, where the Mediterranean coast and the Lebanese border meet, the sea has been having a love affair with the rock for thousands of years. The last part I didn't make up, it's part of the informational movie they show you in English about these caves. Basically the caves have eroded into the rock face because the rock face has been pounded by the ocean for millennia.

The caves are beautiful, a rare sight. Specifically on a slightly more stormy day it's impressive to see from the inside. The movie they show you however, is so cheesy that words actually fail to describe it.

This picture wasn't taken on a stormy day. When the Sea is more tranquil, people sit on the rocks to fish, and it looks like something out of a movie. Not a cheesy one, at that. It's definitely one of my absolute favorite spots in Israel, but then I always did have a thing for water.
