My grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousins live on Kibbutz Saar. I’ve been there many times to see my family. Everybody knows everybody else and I just tend to forget about my life back in the states while I’m over there. Every morning, I would go with my family to the Mediterranean Sea and soak in the sunshine and body surf. It’s hot hot hot in the summer, so during the afternoon, everybody takes a nap to cool down. The evenings are social and all the neighbors are amazingly friendly and welcoming. There is a pub on the Kibbutz that parties hard until the early morning hours. A swimming pool is 5 minutes from anywhere on the kibbutz and the little store sells ice cream and anything else you would need. Nahariyah is the city closest to Kibbutz Saar and has restaurants, malls, and markets galore. Kibbutz Saar is the best place to stay for a relaxing time but still be close enough to the sea and Nahariyah to never get bored.
