Nahariya has long been known as the ‘Yekke’ city, a nickname given to the 40,000 Jews who came to Palestine in the 30’s, fleeing the Nazis. It all started in 1935 with a few dozen settlers who had just arrived from Germany.
It might look strange to find articles about the North of Israel in a blog called visitingnegev.com, but last July, on the day we received the keys to a holiday flat we just bought in Nahariya, we officially became people of the peripheries!
