Specific Area of the Galilee
The Galilee region encompasses a few thousand square kilometers. It is hard to get an exact figure, because the exact borders of the Galilee are unclear, but if you wanted to get a rough estimate, you could add the size of the District of Haifa (864 km2) and the Northern District of Israel without the Golan Heights (3,324 km²) to get 4,188 km2. To put this in perspective, this is roughly the size of the US State of Rhode Island or one fifth of Israel's overall land area.

Do tides occur in the sea of Galilee?
The Sea of Galilee (also known as Lake Kinneret) is small with a shoreline just 53 km (33 miles) long. It probably has tides, but they would be small and fast (smaller than the ripples made by the wind, and sloshing back and forth in the lake's basin several times an hour. I have measured the tides on Lake Michigan, a much much larger lake. The tides there (at the point I measured, Garden Island Harbor) were only an inch or two, and they had a period of on the order of an hour or two. To get really noticeable tides, you need an ocean!
