Spirit of TLV
Jan 2021
Tel Aviv is not as ancient as Jerusalem, as it was only founded in 1909, but Jaffa already existed before this year. Walking among the alleys of Old Jaffa is an experience I recommend to everybody. The landmark I loved most is the Zodiac Fountain: throw a coin into it, make a wish and it will come true!

Magical Ancient City With Jewish & Christian Significance
Dec 2019
So much to view as you journey back through the millenia in this beautiful ancient seaside city with strong Jewish and Christian significance. Home to numerous cultures, Jaffa Port is one of the oldest ports in the world. "Joppa" also "Yaho; Yafa & Japho" was the embarkation point to Tarshish instead of Nineveh, as Jonah ran from God's task; hence encountering the "Great Fish". Simon The Tanner housed Peter here, where the Bible tells of Peter raising Tabitha from the dead, and later his vision of "clean" foods, among other references. The cedars of Lebanon for Solomon's Temple were delivered to this port. The light colored Jerusalem Stone buildings are lovely in contrast to the blue Mediterranean & green parks. We were enchanted as we wound through the narrow alleyways and stumbled upon numerous historic treasures and delicious dining. Definitely one of our favorite Israeli cities with a distinctive flare.

This is a very well preserved old city with beautiful architecture and interesting artistic pieces. The only down side it was a tad too touristy.

We prefer Akko
Nov 2019
Feels like a much busier, more touristy Akko, but we enjoyed walking around the city and sampling all the foods on offer. Very metropolitan mix of old and modern.
