Lonely Planet review
When young Maoz Inon decided he wanted to open a guesthouse in Israel he walked the entire country from north to south to find the best spot. He and his wife settled on Nazareth, restoring a beautiful Arab house in the heart of the old city. For independent travellers, their creation is one of the highlights of a stay in the Galilee. Fauzi Azar Inn Tours offers a flexible daily tour to Mt Tabor, Megido, Acre, Sea of Galilee for around US$30 per person (minimum of two people).
A light-filled lounge room with arched windows, marble floors and frescoed ceiling looks out over the city while in the traditional downstairs courtyard a cosy cushion area is a great place to swap tales with some fresh mint tea from the balcony herb garden. Maoz is a keen hiker who will happily set you up with maps of the area; his website and blog are a must if you are attempting the Israel Trail.
