Old Jaffa (Yafo)
Tel Aviv, Israel
About This Activity
Old Jaffa (Yafo) has been inhabited for over 4,000 years, making it one of the oldest port cities in the world. Today its ancient stone lanes are lined with art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants, while the hilltop harbour offers sweeping views over Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean. The Jaffa Flea Market (Shuk HaPishpeshim) is a treasure trove of antiques and curiosities, and the surrounding neighbourhood of Neve Tzedek blends old-world charm with contemporary café culture.
Seasonal note: Year-round. The Jaffa Flea Market is liveliest on Fridays.
