3.3.3 Zichron Yaakov
One of the first Jewish settlements in Israel is a lovely place for a stroll and meal.
Although Zichron Yaakov isn't strictly on the coastal plain, this town in the Carmel Hills was one of the first to be established by the Baron Rothschild. With wineries, and a restored main street lined with cafes and restaurants, Zichron Ya'akov is a cool place for a walk and meal. At the end of the street, the First Aliya Museum gives a fascinating overview of the pioneers from Europe who established this town over a hundred years ago.
The Carmel Winery, one of Israel's oldest winery is also based in the town. They have a visitors center.
