Practical Information, Accommodations, and Food The easiest way to get to Caesarea is through Hadera, the nearest town. A number of intercity Egged buses pass through, including #852 and 872 from the old central bus station in Tel Aviv (N1S8.30), #740 from Natanya (NIS5.5O), #922 and 945 from Haifa (NIS8.30), and #945 from Jerusalem (NIS17). From Hadera bus #76 runs directly to the entrance of the Crusader City and then down the street to the Roman Theater, ending at Kibbutz Sdot Yam (NIS4.50).

You’ll pass through several suburban developments on the way to the ruins. Service between Hadera and Caesarea is infrequent (only 9 buses per day) so call Egged for specific times and plan ahead for smooth connections (or steel yourself for a 2-hr, wait in Hadera). For the spontaneous, some intercity buses traveling on the Tel Aviv-Haifa highway will stop at the Caesarea exit on the main road (ask before you board the bus); the ruins are an unrewarding 3km walk east.
