First. In Jerusalem: the Church of the Resurrection of Christ (otherwise the Church of the Holy Sepulcher), the Trinity Cathedral of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission, the Church of the Ascension of Christ, the Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God, the Church of Mary Magdalene and, in general, all of Gethsemane, where Jesus spent the night before the execution. Very strong impressions that pierce the soul through and through.
Second. Nazareth: the temple of the Annunciation and the places where Jesus spent his childhood.
Third. Bethlehem: the Basilica of the Nativity of Christ, an ancient and majestic church, the greatest shrine of many denominations.
This is the main thing, ask in more detail at the Russian Spiritual Mission in Jerusalem.
And additionally, but not so easy on your own. Mount Tabor with the Temple of the Transfiguration, a wonderful place of unearthly beauty. Jordan River. Monastery of the Temptations in Jericho. Sea of Galilee.
These trips, which are difficult to organize on your own, can be booked either at the Gornensky Convent or at the Jerusalem Pilgrimage Center in Jerusalem itself.
God help!

And why don't you use the services of any Israeli travel company. Everything is well organized with them, they are taken by bus from the hotel you indicated and brought there after the tour. The group is accompanied by a Russian-speaking guide who will professionally tell you everything, etc.

Sigur62 perfectly marked Orthodox places, or rather Christian ones. But I think that one should not visit Israel one-sidedly, do not forget that this is the cradle of mankind, and before Jesus was born on this earth, very interesting historical events took place there. Of course, you can make a travel plan at home and carry it out on your own, or you can use the services of local travel agencies (you can find them in any city), their prices are in shekels! very acceptable, there are both group bus tours and individual ones (of course, these cost other money). We can recommend 4 main excursions: Christian Jerusalem, Nazareth (with a visit to the Jordan River), Bethlehem (Basilica of the Nativity of Christ), Jericho (Monastery of the Temptation on Mount Karantal - do not be surprised, it is Greek).

The advice given by Kfhf-2008 is universal. The cost of excursions is from 50/60 dollars (if you buy one at a time) and from 42 dollars (if you buy a package of 3 excursions BEFORE the start of the trip for 125 dollars). The problem is that some of the listed Holy places are not included in the itinerary of standard excursions...
