According to the Office of the cities of the Kinneret, no less than 40 thousand tourists celebrate Rosh HaShana on the shores of the Sea of ​​Galilee. On the beaches of Ceylon and Gofra on the eastern shore of the lake, the parking lots are full and closed the entrance to their territory for new visitors.
The administration of the cities of Kinneret asks tourists to observe three key safety rules on the water: to swim only where there are rescuers, not to get into the water after alcoholic libations and not to float on air mattresses.
The last rule is especially important for those who are located on the west coast of the lake. In the afternoon, a strong western breeze begins on the Kinneret, which can imperceptibly place bathers on mattresses far from the shore. This has more than once caused the tragedies on Kinneret on holidays and weekends.
