The Sea of Galilee (Hebrew: Kinneret) is a compact region of towns and open country located around the picturesque Sea of Galilee (Hebrew: Yam Kinneret) in northern Israel and the Golan Heights. The region is, of course, best known for its Gospel associations with the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. As such, it forms a natural destination for pilgrimage amongst all varieties of Christians. Its beaches are also a prime recreational spot for Israelis and foreigners.
