<h2>Attractions for children in Ashkelon - a wonderful way to spend your vacation</h2>

<p>The city of Ashkelon and its surroundings are undergoing significant developments and far-reaching changes when it comes to the tourist possibilities and attractions for children. For every age, for every type of family, you will surely find something to do here. Ashkelon offers everything, from bathing beaches with clear blue water, green and spacious parks, fascinating archaeological sites and more, all of which you can find within a short drive.</p>

<p>If you want to get out of the city a bit, the moshavs and kibbutzim of the area enrich even more the variety of activities from which you can choose. Animals, museums, parks, field trips and what not. All you have to do is choose what suits your children, and what you would like them to do. It is recommended to choose several different attractions, ones that will give you and the children a diverse and educational experience, and not focus on just one type of activity.</p>

<p>In terms of getting there, you can reach the attractions inside the city by car or public transportation, but for those outside the city you will almost always need a car, certainly if you want not to waste a lot of time waiting, and to be flexible in terms of schedules. You can use your car, or rent a car at a car rental agency in Israel.</p>

The complex is designed to provide a fun, enriching and safe experience for children, and is mainly intended for children up to the age of 13. In addition, for the parents, there is a cafeteria with a rich menu.</p>

<h2>The honey and bee house in Kibbutz Yad Mordechai</h2>

<p>A quarter of an hour&#39;s drive from Ashkelon, in Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, famous among other things for having the largest market share in Israel in the field of honey, is the honey and bee house. This is a particularly experiential visitor center, one that allows children and adults to be exposed to the process of raising bees and making honey from start to finish. This sweet experience (literally) will add flavor to your trip, and at the end you can indulge in a taste of quality honey directly from the source. In addition to that, the kibbutz offers visitors a host of other attractions such as a ride in a tractor-drawn wagon, the Holocaust and Resurrection Museum, and more.</p>

<h2>The National Garden in Ashkelon</h2>

<p>The Ashkelon National Park, operated and maintained by the Nature and Parks Authority, is an attraction for the whole family where you can easily spend a whole day. Here you can find activities for all ages, from archaeological sites from different periods, to ancient water wells, to a gorgeous beach. In addition, an escape room-style game is being developed in the National Park, in order to make the place interactive and attractive for younger visitors as well.</p>

<h2>Marine attractions</h2>

<p>The city of Ashkelon has 12 kilometers of beach in its territory alone, and many more kilometers to the north and south of it. And all this goodness means that there are many places to enter the water (in Ashkelon alone there are 6 declared beaches), but it also means that there are many other things that can be done in the water besides bathing itself. An example attraction is diving in the Mediterranean Sea, whether you are experienced divers or interested in going for an introductory dive. The &quot;Southern Divers&quot; club is a famous and professional hub for anyone who wants to dive in Ashkelon&#39;s canopy, and offers diving equipment and escort services for all levels. Another option is sailing from Ashkelon&#39;s marina, either as part of a group or privately. Sailing will be a particularly exciting activity for the whole family and especially for children, and will also allow you to experience the trip in a different way. The cruise can be combined with other activities, depending on the age of the participants and what you like. Another idea is to book surfing lessons, a fun and intense activity especially for all ages. The Galim surfing school operates in Ashkelon, allowing you to fulfill your dream and start getting on the surfboard. Maybe you won&#39;t leave here fully professional, but you will definitely get a taste of this exciting sport.</p>

<h2>The urban market of Ashkelon</h2>

<p>For lovers of the markets, this is an experience not to be missed. 350 stalls of fruit, vegetables, fish, clothing, footwear and souvenirs, all in one place. The market is active on Mondays and Thursdays every week, and is a center of attraction for crowds of locals and tourists. You can spend time at the market, buy yourself groceries for a picnic, and go to one of the many parks in the city (or even to the beach) to have a pampering picnic.</p>

<h3>In conclusion, the city of Ashkelon offers its visitors a variety of entertainment options and attractions, some &quot;normal&quot; and some unique to the place and its surroundings. From amusement facilities, to water sports, to archaeological sites and interaction with animals, Ashkelon offers the best activities for every type of group and every age. The warm recommendation is to combine different types of activities, in order to make sure that you taste the city and the region in all their shades. The attractions inside the city can be reached by car or public transportation, and those outside the city can usually be reached by car in a short drive. If you prefer not to have a car for the entire trip, you can use the services of a <u><a href="https://www.eldan.co.il/en/branch/rent/18/ashkelon-branch" target="_blank">car rental agency in Ashkelon</a></u> to rent a car for the specific day you want to leave the city.</h3>


Come visit Ashkelon with the whole family and combine many attractions suitable for all ages. Whether in the city itself or in the immediate vicinity, you can enjoy a multitude of options.

Attractions for children in Ashkelon: an unusual experience

<h2>History and culture in Ashkelon - when old and new meet</h2>

<p>For those who live in Ashkelon this will not be a big surprise, but many of those who do not live there do not know that Ashkelon is one of the oldest cities in Israel. That is, certainly not in its current form, which began with the establishment of the state in 1948. But in the Ashkelon region the Philistine city of Ashkelon existed three thousand years ago and more. Some of you may remember that the story of Samson, the hero of Judges, may have started in the Beit Shemesh area, but his tragic end happened right here, in this area.</p>

<p>So in Ashkelon itself you can meet the ancient history of our country, and near it you can meet the more modern history. The Battles of the War of Liberation in Nitzanim, the Mashoah for Revival Museum in Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, the Katif Heritage Center in Moshav Nitzan, and more. So when you arrive in Ashkelon, don&#39;t focus only on the sea, but take the car and drive to meet the history of all of us. You can of course use your own car, or rent one from a car rental company in Israel.</p>

<h2>Tel Ashkelon National Park</h2>

<p>When talking about the history of Ashkelon, the best place to start is Tel Ashkelon National Park, operated by the Nature and Parks Authority and located in the south of the city and near the beach. The national park includes archaeological sites, nature walking trails, an ancient theater that is still active for events, and even a well-maintained bathing beach that is open for swimming in the summer months. Among the archaeological sites in the national park you can find a Canaanite gate that is nearly four thousand years old (!), an embankment of walls from more or less the same period as well as walls from the Middle Ages, ancient water wells and even a Roman basilica that is nearly two thousand years old. You can visit the place independently, or through the use of the &quot;escape room&quot; platform prepared for visitors to the National Park. Please note that entrance to the National Park is for a fee, and the entry hours must be observed (up to two hours before closing time).</p>

<h2>Beit Govrin National Park</h2>

<p>About half an hour&#39;s drive from Ashkelon is located Kibbutz Beit Govrin, and near it is the national park of the same name. This is one of the most wonderful national parks in Israel, and it is located in the heart of the so-called &quot;Land of a Thousand Caves&quot;. The area is famous for the many caves carved in it, caves that were used in ancient times for a variety of purposes such as storage, living, war, and more. Perhaps you know about the many uses that the warriors of Bar Kochba made of the place during the famous revolt in the second century AD, a revolt whose sad end reverberates in Jewish history to this day. In addition to the caves, you will find an ancient and complete amphitheater, impressive views, a wide variety of vegetation at the point of connection between the Judean Mountains and the coastal plain, as well as animals of various species. Here too it is important to note that entrance to the site is paid.</p>

<h3 style="color:#aaa; font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9px">Credit: Stav Kunstik, from the pikiwiki website</span></h3>

<h2>Kibbutz Yad Mordechai</h2>

<p>Kibbutz Yad Mordechai is only about a quarter of an hour&#39;s drive from the center of Ashkelon, and is a center of attraction for visitors as it offers a variety of attractions for the whole family, primarily two main points of interest. Whether you&#39;re coming to the area for a few days or just popping in, this is a destination you shouldn&#39;t miss. The first point in the kibbutz is the Mashoah Letakum museum, a very unique point where the founders tried to capture the history of the Jewish people in the first part of the twentieth century, about the break and its revival. The kibbutz itself is named after Mordechai Anilevich, the commander of the Jewish Fighting Organization (IL) in the Warsaw Ghetto, so the connection between suffering, resistance and revival is not at all coincidental. The second main point of interest in the kibbutz is the Honey and Bee House. Kibbutz Yad Mordechai is the main player in the honey market in Israel, and the center presents visitors with the process of making honey and caring for bees.</p>

<h2>Picking center in Nitzan</h2>

<p>The settlement of Nitzan is about a quarter of an hour&#39;s drive from Ashkelon. The settlement opened its doors to many families who were evacuated from Gush Katif in the disengagement plan in 2005, who have since rebuilt their homes there. As a result, it was decided to open the Katif Center in the settlement, which presents the history of the settlement in Gush Katif (in today&#39;s Gaza Strip), the course of the disengagement plan and the intense controversy surrounding it, and the challenges of regrowth after the evacuation of the settlements. With the continuation of the conflict with the Gaza Strip even after the disengagement plan, and especially after the outbreak of the war, the preoccupation with the Israeli settlements that were present in the territories of the Gaza Strip is again on the table. This is an opportunity for anyone who does not know enough about the history of the region to witness the issue.</p>

<h3>In conclusion, there is a lot to do in Ashkelon and the surrounding area, and among all the options are also the options of historical and heritage sites. Starting with archaeological sites that are thousands of years old, go through the legacy of the Holocaust and the revival that followed, and end with the history of today. The area has so much to offer, so the list presented here is only a partial sample. The recommendation is to arrive in the area for a sufficient amount of time, so that you can experience it from all directions. It is also recommended to come with your own car, or <u><a href="https://www.eldan.co.il/en/branch/rent/18/ashkelon-branch" target="_blank">rent a car from a car rental company in Ashkelon</a></u> or elsewhere, so that you can take advantage of the best pearls that this area has to offer. And at the end of the trip, when you return home, you will know that you have met another face of the beautiful Land of Israel.</h3>


Go on a journey through time to the rich history and diverse culture of Ashkelon and the surrounding area. Museums, antiquities and special stopping points that tell a fascinating story about the place.

History and culture: getting to know Ashkelon

<h2>Nature and landscapes in Ashkelon and the surrounding area - not just the sea</h2>

<p>In recent years, Ashkelon has been getting on the map as a desirable tourist destination. The southern city of the coastal plain, is located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and boasts beautiful beaches, a rich history and an accelerated rate of development. The choice to travel in Ashkelon is special and different, but those who do it will find themselves in front of a multitude of options for travel, nature and experiences. Of course, the sea of ​​Ashkelon and the beaches next to it are a top scenic attraction, but the Ashkelon area has a lot more to offer in addition to that. Woods and springs, observatories and nature reserves, hiking and biking trails, all these and more you can find here in the area.</p>

<p>So whether you are coming from near or far, by public transportation or by car (your own or one you rented from a car rental agency in Israel), here are a number of representative suggestions for spending time in the nature of Ashkelon and its surroundings. Of course, it is important to note that this is only a sample, and there are many other places that can be visited, if you just look for them.</p>

<h3 style="color:#aaa; font-style:italic"><img alt="ענת פרנק גורלי, מתוך אתר פיקיויקי" src="https://mainqa.eldan.co.il/uploads/website/magazine/articles/ashkelon5.jpg" style="height:280px; width:500px" /></h3>

<h3 style="color:#aaa; font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9px">Credit: Anat Frank Gourli, from the pikiwiki website</span></h3>

<h2>The beach of Ashkelon</h2>

<p>So while this is not the only attraction, it is impossible to talk about nature in Ashkelon without talking about the sea on whose shores it lies. The city boasts twelve whole kilometers of beach, where you can use six declared beaches with organized lifeguard services. And that&#39;s without even talking about the beaches that are north and south of the city itself. Among the calmer beaches (and more suitable for families) we can mention Dalila Beach, Bar Kochba Beach, and the separate beach for those who are interested (even days for men, odd days for women). On these beaches you will find fitness facilities, changing rooms, toilets, and sometimes also play facilities for children. In addition, near the beaches you can enjoy a variety of restaurants and cafes that will enjoy your time. For those interested in a wilder and more challenging experience, mainly due to the lack of a breakwater, you can go to the beach of the Ashkelon National Park, in the southern part of the city. This beach is suitable for adventurers and surfers, due to its waves.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ashkelon Eco-Sport Park</h2>

<p>For those who don&#39;t want to drive a lot, Eco Sport Park is a green gem right in the city. This is a large park, and one that has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. From a neglected and dirty site on the outskirts of the city, it has today become one of the most well-kept and invested urban parks in Israel. In the territory of the park you can find walking paths, green lawns, an artificial lake with adapted attractions, and even a winter pool in season. In addition, you can enjoy watching the many birds that live in the park, or park there on their way to another place. This is an accessible nature site, convenient and especially suitable for family recreation, but still within the city.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Sand&nbsp;Nitzanim Nature Reserve</h2>

<p>A short drive north of Ashkelon is the Holot Nitzanim nature reserve, one of the most beautiful reserves in Israel. The reserve is diverse, and has sections suitable for different types of groups and families. You will find short trails with lots of vegetation, sandy trails, Kurkar hills facing the sea, and more. In addition to the trails themselves, the reserve offers its visitors a view of a variety of flora and fauna that live here in a wonderful symbiosis. Deer, foxes, birds and more, you can see them all during the trip if you are lucky. And if you are at all adventurous, you can bring equipment for overnight parking and sleep in tents at the famous (and regulated) Eucalyptus parking lot. recommended.</p>

<h2><img alt="nizanim.jpg" src="https://mainqa.eldan.co.il/uploads/website/magazine/articles/nizanim.jpg" style="height:280px; width:500px" /></h2>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>Sand&nbsp;Zikim Nature Reserve</h2>

<p>On the other side of the city of Ashkelon, i.e. a short drive south of it, is the nature reserve of Zikim Sands, which includes, among other things, the mouth of Nahal Shakma which comes from the Judean Mountains, and the famous Zikim Beach. The reserve is not very large, but it contains a huge variety of animals of different species, which you will surely come across during the trip there. The emphasis in the reserve is on the bird population, among other things due to the presence of a sycamore reservoir and its branches that attract cranes, ducks, herons and more, but there are also turtles, hedgehogs, deer and even snakes here (caution).<br />
The reserve has several hiking options, with the option suitable for families (but not for strollers or wheelchairs) being a linear route of about 3 kilometers along the mouth of the river, to Zikim beach itself where you can also enter the water. As part of the trip you can roll on the dunes of the reserve, and clean yourself in the clear waters of the sea.</p>

<h3>In conclusion, the city of Ashkelon offers its visitors a variety of outdoor excursion options, many of which include the sea, but are certainly not limited to relaxing on the beach. Whether within the city itself or within a short driving distance from it, you can find a whole world of flora, animals, routes and landscapes. You can find the way you want to travel - by easy or strenuous walking, by bicycle, or maybe even by jeep - and find the right place for you. It is important to note that in order to get to most of the nature sites near Ashkelon, you need an attached car, so you should come with your own car or use the services of a <u><a href="https://www.eldan.co.il/en/branch/rent/18/ashkelon-branch" target="_blank">car rental company in Ashkelon</a></u>. The vehicle will allow you to reach your destination, place unnecessary equipment there, and return back to the city or home according to your personal schedule, without being limited by public transportation services.</h3>


Go on vacation in Ashkelon and the surrounding area, between charming beaches and beautiful parks. Walking trails, beautiful sunsets and great nature, Ashkelon is a perfect destination for nature and landscape lovers.

Ashkelon: discover the nature and the beautiful landscapes around

<h2>Culinary in Ashkelon - to meet the different tastes of the city</h2>

<p>The combination of the worlds and countries of origin of the residents of Ashkelon means that the culinary world of the region is an endless weave of tastes, smells and combinations. African immigrants with European immigrants, Ethiopians and Iraqis, French and Yemenis - Ashkelon is a microcosm of Israeli society. And this winning combination creates a rich, diverse and above all surprising culinary world, for those who have not thought of Ashkelon as a culinary destination until now.</p>

<p>Here is a representative sample of the restaurants that you must visit during your visit to the city, as well as gems within driving distance that are worth a visit. Most of the places on the list can be reached by public transportation, but there are some on the list and outside of the city that are outside the city, with an emphasis on moshavim and kibbutzim in the area, so their accessibility by public transportation is often insufficient. You should travel to these places with a car, which can be rented from a car rental agency in Israel.</p>

<h2><img alt="" src="https://mainqa.eldan.co.il/uploads/website/magazine/articles/flat-lay-delicious-smoked-fish-plate.jpg" style="height:280px; width:500px" /></h2>

<h2>Anona - Ashkelon Bistro</h2>

<p>We start the list with Anona, because not only is it an excellent place with high-level cuisine, but it is also specifically famous for its breakfasts. A selection of dairy dishes, pastas and fish and vegan dishes await you in this unusual location, far from the sea and shopping centers and deep in a residential neighborhood. Similar to some French p&acirc;tisserie, Banona is careful not only about the quality of the products and dishes, but also about a relaxed and family atmosphere, therefore choosing not to gather in the business hustle and bustle that characterizes most restaurants.</p>

<h2>Mayor shawarma</h2>

<p>So although it&#39;s not haute cuisine, if you come to a place that cherishes meaty and high-quality street food, it&#39;s a shame to miss the claimant to the crown of the best shawarma in Israel. Perhaps the pretentiousness can be debated (although some will completely disagree and say that the title is completely justified) but there is no doubt that if you are looking for a place to eat without getting involved with an expensive restaurant and excessive service, this is the place.<br />
At shawarma the mayor will prepare all types of meat for you with great love, and treat you to fine salads, fresh breads and what not. If you are coming as a family, you might prefer to buy the family dish that will satisfy everyone and save you a few shekels.</p>

<h2>Joyce in Moshav Bitzeron</h2>

<p>It is not clear how Joyce should be defined. Is this pastry? coffee shop? Deli? Either way, there is no doubt that this is a culinary gem that is definitely worth a visit the next time you are in the south. Joyce is located in Moshav Bitzeron near Ashdod, about half an hour&#39;s drive from Ashkelon. In the place you will find fresh and decadent pastries, basic dishes for a light meal, and the highlight of the place - the crazy view that spreads out in front of the diners.</p>

<h2>Anania</h2>

<p>With the large Ethiopian community in Ashkelon, it would be surprising if there wasn&#39;t an Ethiopian restaurant on this list. But the truth is that Anya should have appeared here regardless. It is about authenticity for its own sake, a restaurant that brings to our palate the essence of the taste of Ethiopian cuisine. The spacious injera loaded with dips, the fresh salads, the bright colors - all of these create a culinary experience that, although it is not of high design, but you will not forget the flavors. The original way to eat injera is with the hands, when each of the participants tears off a piece and dips it in dips. At Ennia you can eat like this, but you can also sit at the table and they will serve you smaller pieces of injera to eat with a knife and fork, if that&#39;s what you want. We prefer the original.</p>

<h2>In Ora&#39;s yard</h2>

<p>In the village of Kfar Maimon (about half an hour from Ashkelon), in one of his first houses, lived Reuven Rosenblatt. Until recently he lived at home with his wife, Ora, who had recently passed away. The story of Reuven and Ora is one that must be heard, because this country is woven from such stories. Reuven is a Holocaust survivor, born in Lodz and a survivor of the Bergen-Belsen extermination camp. The late Ora left Yemen on foot when she was a child, and lost both of her parents on the way. The two met as soldiers of the War of Attrition, got married, and lived together until Ora&#39;s death. Their story has many more fascinating details and twists that sound imaginary, and you can hear all of them during a visit to Kfar Maimon In the orchard that Reuven planted there are over 120 varieties of trees, from which he makes fine liquers. When Ora was alive, visitors would also receive a full meal of the best Yemeni cuisine. Since Ora passed away, he can&#39;t serve the meal and groups (by prior arrangement), tells them the unbelievable story of him and Ora, and lets them taste the products of the orchard that he continues to cultivate with love.</p>

<h3>In conclusion, Ashkelon and its surroundings offer its visitors a wide variety of culinary options, and the special thing about them is that they almost always have a story as well. It&#39;s almost never just food. And the opportunity to enjoy a story together with fine food from a wide variety of cuisines, is one of the greatest advantages of the Ashkelon culinary world. Our recommendation is to invest, and look for the more special places to eat. Take a car, your own or from a <u><a href="https://www.eldan.co.il/en/branch/rent/18/ashkelon-branch" target="_blank">car rental agency in Ashkelon</a></u>, and go looking for the restaurants, cafes and stalls that are just waiting for you to arrive. It is likely that Ashkelon is not necessarily the first destination you thought of when it comes to food, but you are in for some tasty surprises.</h3>


Come get to know Ashkelon from a slightly different angle and meet the great flavors it offers. Good restaurants, light local food and also stalls that offer a variety of options for guests.
