Grottoes - Achziv Banana Beach

Image result for rosh hanikraYesterday we went on a car trip to Rosh Hanikra (head of the Grottoes), which is the most north western corner of Israel. To visit the cliff  we went on the shortest and steepest cable car in the world!  The view from the cable car was breathtaking and that's just the start. After that we went into the caves, which are called grottoes. They were created by a lot of subterranean tremors that cracked the rock, with waves that hit the rock at a force of 250 tonnes per square meter! Rainwater flows through the cracks and create the caves. The inside of the grottoes were amazing and I didn't know where to look first. The water was really clean and clear and in one place there's a bridge and sometimes high waves splash you which is really fun.

After that we went to banana beach for the rest of the day. Banana beach is much different from Wainui beach, The sea is warm for a start, there's a volleyball net, a massage area, It's rated 4.4 stars, there's a bar on the beach, a restaurant 2 minutes walk from the beach, and cool huts that give you shade. There's also lots more people in the water but the place is so big it doesn't matter. But definitely my least favourite, seaweed. It was so fun we must of been there for 5 hours! My favourite part was how lots of the people that were there were so nice. Like the people who were siting next to us gave us watermelon and at the end gave us 3 drinks.

    Wow - Rosh Hanikra is absolutely amazing! The cliffs are very white; are they chalk? The water inside the grotto is so crystal blue-beautiful. The steepest cable car ride in the world sounds a little scary to me. How steep is it?
    Banana Beach - an interesting name for a popular beach. Do you know why it is called this Shai?
    I Look forward to reading more about your holiday:-) Take care.

    Rosh Hanikra (“head of the grottoes”) is an area where white chalk cliffs meet the Mediterranean Sea.
    The cable car is on a 60 degree angle - the steepest in the world.
    Sorry about the last question, I asked my dad and he didn't know and I couldn't find anything on google either.
