Herzliya The Apollonia National Park I the Phoenicians founded the city of Arsuf, known in Israeli archeology as Tel Arshaf, in the 6 th century BC. After the Phoenicians came the Greeks, who renamed the city Apollonia. After the Greeks, the Hasmonaeans arrived, and then the Byzantines, the Crusaders and the Mamluks, etc. There are remains of each period in this extraordinary site.

The Herzliya marina I apart from the many fun activities to enjoy here, there’s a mall, a kids’ area, restaurants, bars, and of course, yacht and surf clubs, and experiential boat ride clubs.

Wide and spacious, two of them have a user friendly deck that leads down to the water and there’s also a beach open to dogs. Sidney Ali beach, named after the mosque built atop the cliff here in the 11 th century, is one of the most frequented. Unlike the other beaches, Sidney Ali is narrower and has a kurkar stone ridge with little nooks and caves carved inside.
