This hummus was truly fabulous and the meal so enjoyable with the friendly, helpful staff in the immaculately clean environment. Further on, we came to Kurdi and Berit, a shop for Turkish coffee and spices, which is impossible to pass without entering. The displays and aromas just beg for attention. Moshe had a cup of coffee while the owner happily gave Linda and me a lesson in spices and coffee. Sorry, no sale, but he was a sweet man who tried hard.
Graceful archways bridge the old stone buildings.
We came to Old Chan, a huge courtyard surrounded by two levels of pillars and archways with the original stonework intact. Moshe informed us that it was a place where travelers stopped to feed their horses and sleep. Akko was originally a fishing village and this was evident when we reached the port and marina with the remains of the nearby fortress. We strolled along the pier enjoying the smells of the sea air and the seascapes. Akko was not only a delight to the senses, it was a history lesson as well.
