Antipatris - Tel Aphek National Park
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Walking around the modern-looking Tel Aviv, Israel, one can forget that this is a very old place - Tel Aviv's southern "suburb" of Jaffo is mentioned repeatedly in the Bible, for example. In the city's eastern suburbs, you will be reminded when you see the remains of the ancient city of Antiparis here-once the home of Herod the Great, who ruled what was known as Judea on behalf of Rome in the first century BC. It's part of the Tel Aphek National Park, which you'll see in this drone video by AirWorks.

Antipatris was a city built during the first century BC. The site, now a national park in central Israel, was inhabited from the Chalcolithic Period to the late Roman Period. The remains of Antipatris are known today as Tel Afek. During the Crusader Period the site was known as Surdi fontes, "Silent springs". The Ottoman fortress known as Binar Bashi was built there in the 16th century.
