Tiberias (Hebrew Teveriyah טבריה) is a large town located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee / Lake Kinneret in the north of Israel. The view of the lake from the hills is simply fascinating. So much water, and so blue. Once Jesus used to hang out in the area. Now a flourishing resort town.
