Reshafim or Beit She'an as a reference point?

When choosing your base, the different settlement context is the key factor at first: Reshafim stands for a stay in a kibbutz settlement, while nearby Beit She'an offers a different local setting. This does not imply any ranking of quality or any statement about specific accommodation features.

If regional archaeology is your main focus, include your planned destinations in the selection process. Check current map and transport information before deciding on accommodation.
