Western Galilee
Green villages between the hills and the sea.
Kfar Vradim is known as the Village of Roses.

Dreaming of a private home in Israel, with a large garden in a quiet green neighborhood? The Western Galilee is where many people find it. Kfar Vradim, founded in 1984, is a planned village of homes and gardens in the hills. Shlomi, near the coast and Rosh HaNikra, is building a new neighborhood of detached homes at Yaarit.
Both are within reach of Nahariya’s beaches, train and hospital, and of the industrial parks at Tefen and Bar-Lev.
Don’t miss
