The port has a 2000-year-old history. Recent [[archaeology]] suggests that the port was originally in the south of Acre, at the mouth of [[Na'aman River]]. The port was closed in the time of the [[Mandatory Palestine|British Mandate]], which chose to use the [[Haifa]] Port instead of Acre. In 1965, a new breakwater was built. In 1982, the port became a [[marina]]. == Other websites == {{Commonscat|Port of Akko}} * [http://www.akko.org.il/ Old City of Acre website (Hebrew)] {{asia-stub}} [[Category:Ports and harbours of Israel]] [[Category:Northern District (Israel)]]
