Breakfast at Hotel Galilion includes a lavish farm-to-table buffet: a tasting trip through the Galilee with a huge selection of local cheeses, artisanal breads baked in-house, locally grown vegetables, platters of smoked fish, a large selection of salads - it's a veritable feast to wake up to. The dinner menu revolves daily, including gluten-free and vegan selections, and a dreamy, colorful detail-oriented dessert selection, which comes in individual servings so that you can try many different varieties.

Guests at the resort can opt for the GPass, which offers access to nearby activities and wine tasting at the Ramot Naftaly Winery, Odem Mountain Winery, Meshek Hollander -a dairy farm with activities for kids, cherry-picking at Ein Zivan, kayaking, visits to the Upper Galilee Museum of Prehistory and more. Additionally, don’t miss the night safari where participants ride buses and use binoculars to spot animals in the wild, a fun activity for the whole family.
After a relaxing stay at Hotel Galilion, take a 25-minute detour way up into the mountains to Dalton Industrial Park for a visit to an array of shops like Pitputim, a 100% spelt bakery where people can sample cookies, crackers, vegan pretzels and pastries all made from spelt and 8 types of spelt sourdough. The owner, Keren Ziv Rabovsky, also has a little shop and café in Rosh Pina, also 10 minutes from the Galilion Hotel.
Step in to Dalton Winery (Dalton Industrial Park, Merom Hagalil) to watch the production process, go on a guided tour and taste your way through the wines, or stop in the shop to pick up some wine to take home along with all the other delectable treats from the Upper Galilee.
On the way back, stop at Kibbutz Sasa to try Buza (04-691-8880), an ice-cream shop that formed from the friendship between a Jew, Adam Ziv, and a Muslim, Alaa Sawitat, a sweet story in every sense of the word. Call in advance to sign up for a tour or the ice cream tasting workshops for all ages. They have special workshops during the summer vacation for kids, starting from age three.
