 View from the promenade by gilabrand
For those in the know, there are stairways that cut through the streets, from the top of the Carmel down to the historic old city. From what I understand, there are maps of these “stair trails” that can help you navigate, taking you through different neighborhoods and giving you a taste of the city’s unique topography.
But when you tire of these ups and downs, take a stroll on the Louis Promenade, which runs along Yefeh Nof Street (also called Panorama Road), directly behind the strip of hotels on Hanassi Street. This walkway, which passes through a lovely shady park, was built by a Haifa couple in memory of their son, Louis Ariel Goldschmidt. It offers a stunning view of the lower city and Haifa Bay. On a clear day, you can see Rosh Hanikra, Akko and even Mt. Hermon. From the promenade, there are steps leading down to the gates of the Bahai Gardens.
When I was there in the morning it was sort of hazy, but here’s a tip for photographers: Come in the afternoon and you’ll get much sharper pictures. For a completely different view, come at night and see the bay lit up with thousands of twinkling lights.
Free guided tours in Hebrew and English leave from the entrance to the promenade (89 Yefe Nof St.), opposite the Mane Katz Museum, every Saturday at 10:15 a.m. I was on one of these tours (the Hebrew one) and found the guide extraordinarily knowledgeable and bubbling with stories about Haifa that you won't find anywhere else.

"In the Bible Mt. Carmel is considered to be the symbol of beauty and fertility. Solomon praised his beloved with words: "your head crowns you like Mount Carmel". "Carmel" in Hebrew means 'the vineyard of God'.
The biblical character connected with Mt. Carmel is prophet Elijah. The statue which we can see at the carmelite monastery shows Elijah at the moment of his triumph over the prophets of Baal."

Gan ha'Em is a nice park located atop the Carmel mountain. The park is the final or top stop on the Carmelit and has plenty of space for kids to play as well as the entrance to the zoo. Leave a Comment Directions: Across from Gan ha'Em Carmelit station.

Not in a Greek Island, anashim.
It's in Haifa, where Mt Carmel kisses the sea.

The Carmel mountain is the green lung of Haifa. The mountains contains some national parks that in weekends becomes to the countries barbecue center and the traffic jams to this direction can be sometimes unbearable but at the end it worth it.
Around the mountains you can find some other attraction such druse villages, some kibbutzim and even little stands that sell drse food alog the road can be quite interesting.
From the carmel mountains you can find some amazing views to the city of Haifa. Leave a Comment Directions: The Carmel mountains
