And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Acts 21:7
In the Old Testament, it was known as Acre; in the New Testament it was called Ptolemais. This important city on the Mediterranean Sea hosted Paul at least once. Acts 21:7 records his stop there on his way to Jerusalem.
The modern city of Acco, built on the site of Ptolemais, is beautiful, clean, and quiet, gracefully adorned with palm trees.
