When in Galilee, I would like to cover (however briefly) the following: Capernaum, Tabgha, Mt of Beatitudes, Cana and perhaps Kaifa. Then off to TLV and return rental car. I expect it to be a long day.
Any additional suggestion/recommendations will be appreciated: places to eat, photo-ops etc. Oh, one other thing: gas station near TLV that opens late.

Moderator, sorry for going really OT. May I suggest to change the title to better reflect the content of this thread. e.g., From Jerusalem, Day trip Masada and Galilee, respectively
Thanks
The general area around the airport has very few gas stations, and road from Tel Aviv to the airport would not have any you could see brom the road. However, there is a 24 station right at the eastern entrance to the airport. If you take Rout 1 from Tel Aviv, you exot for the airport and come to the first manned security gate. After this initial screening, bear right and follow the signs for rental return. on your left on the other side of a rotary, which also contains another entrance back into the airport is the station.

On the road to Capernum, which is very small, you can trace your progress back to route 90 and proceed up this famous winding road which has an incredible view of the Kinnerent.

Lunch might be St Peters fish in donwtown Tiberias, near the center of town is fish street (follow your nose) and get the fish incredibly fresh.

If you go via Afula onthe ride back, as you leave Tiberias there will be soccer stadium on your left. Right there is a sea level sign for a cool photo.
