Ashkelon is one of the oldest and most popular coastal cities of southern Israel. This ancient seaport is also the largest in Canaan and among the five Philistine cities of northern Gaza and southern Jaffa. Its unique terrain, a combination of desert sand and sea, creates amicable weather that allows you to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities at any time of the year. In the summer, the water temperature ranges between 28 to 30 degrees Celcius (82.4 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit) with temperate humidity - perfect weather for cycling and beach hopping. During the winter, the water temperature constantly stays above 22 degrees Celcius (71.6 degrees Fahrenheit), ideal for water sports.
Ranked as the 18th urban center of Israel, underneath the city are ruins of its ancient civilizations. Afidar Center and the national park are interesting places, where you’ll see archeological artifacts. Come and visit Ashkelon, which boasts one of the cleanest coastlines in Israel. Here are several Airbnb vacation rentals that will provide you with a luxurious stay during your visit. Book one now!
