The renovated old city of Jaffa is built on a rock that penetrates the sea. The city is built with small alleys that accommodate a charming collection of small art shops, and a colorful set of fish and sea food restaurants. It is mostly recommended for a night out. More

Nice, old place, like a small town. Go there for a dinner with friends to sit outside in numerous restaurants or for a drink in a bar. Nice view to Tel Aviv More
