Around the Sea of Galilee

From Anthony Grant, former About.com Guide

Hamat Tiberias was named for its thermal springs (Hamat is the Hebrew word for heat). Today it is famed for its ruins of a first-century synagogue which includes an elaborate third-century mosaic floor. Lesser known are the remains of the ancient spa that was so popular in antiquity. You can visit the spa ruins, though portions are currently under renovation.
