"Kfar Nachum or Capernum" Kefar Nahum by Martin_S.

Kefar Nahum Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 119 photos

The ancient Jewish fishing village of Capernum (or Kfar Nachum in Hebrew) is, or rather "was" one of the sites where Jesus came to preach his new religion. I found this site: http://198.62.75.1/www1/ofm/sites/TScpmenu.html
where you can learn much more than what I could include here.

This photo shows the village of Capernum as seen from the modern road number 87 on the northern shore of the lake of galilee.

This photo shows the Greek Orthodox monastary close by the village of Kfar Nachum. If you want to learn more you can visit the internet site of:

We did not visit this time because we did not bring along long pants and shirts.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:I am told it is a must for religious believers
  • Cons:Too many busloads of religious believers crowding in
  • In a nutshell:Try to visit out of religious believer season
