Every 20 minutes in peak hours. 43 NIS from Tel Aviv, 12.5 NIS from Haifa.  editIsrael's only trains operator, has over 40 daily trains to and from Akko, every 20 minutes in peak hours. Some of these train go only till Haifa, while the other line connects Akko with Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport.

by Bus

• Egged, Carmiel.

by Taxi

Service taxis travel frequently from the Hadar neighborhood of Haifa to Akko. They are as cheap or cheaper than the bus. Look for a sign saying "Akko Naharia" or "Akko Karmiel" in Hebrew only in the front of the service taxi. If you don't know Hebrew, go to Herzl street in Haifa, stick out an index finger (the Israel hitchhiking sign) when a service taxi with a sign in Hebrew drives by, and ask where it's going.

Baklava in old bazaar.

In Akko you can find the most delicious hummus.

One of the most famous restaurants in Akko, who is often visited by Israelis residing in Tel Aviv (which means it's a good place, since poeple who live in tel aviv almost never leaves it..) is Uri-Bori - located on the beach walkway, at Hahagana Street.

the restaurants along the beach area are fabulous. Some may come at a cost, but the food is superb. Eat everywhere, in Sal A Dim Street there is a small bakery with yummy treats. foods like this are hard to find. Rough it up and enjoy the experience.
