Getting there

Walking

Start at the Old City of Akko and head towards the southern end of the port area. From the entrance of the Old City, walk towards the port, passing by the Akko Marina. Once you reach the marina, continue along the waterfront promenade until you reach the large stone structure of the Old City walls. Keep walking along the water until you see the large arches of the Acre Ottoman Aqueduct. The aqueduct is located just outside the Old City, and you can easily see its impressive structure from the promenade.

Walking

If you are near the Citadel of Akko, exit the citadel and head towards the main road leading to the port. Walk down to the waterfront and turn left. Continue walking along the water until you see the aqueduct in the distance. It is a short walk and very scenic, with views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Public Transport

From the Akko Central Bus Station, take a local bus heading towards the Old City or the port area. Get off at the stop closest to the waterfront (look for signs indicating the port area). Once you disembark, walk towards the water and follow the promenade to the aqueduct.
