 | |  |  | Old Jaffa: Jaffa | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Jaffa is actually a separate place from Tel Aviv, a mostly Arab Christian town with a very different vibe. If Tel Aviv is brash and lively, Jaffa is modest and sleepy, a quaint old place of narrow streets, interesting markets and ancient architecture. It was founded by one of Noah's sons so it has a little bit more of an historical pedigree than it's nearby bigger neighbour! Although it's a separate town, in practice it runs into the suburbs of Tel Aviv and it's a very pleasant two mile walk along the seafront from Tel Aviv city centre. There's plenty to see - museums, monasteries, gardens, the flea market, and also some excellent seafood restaurants (always thinking of my stomach!) It's close enough to enjoy the nightlife and shops of Tel Aviv but a world away from its hustle and bustle and modern development. Jaffa, or Yafa to give it its Arabic name, is definitely worth a separate page of its own and I'll build one once I've had a bit more of an explore around its old streets. Leave a Comment Directions: Yafa is a couple of miles south of Tel Aviv and it's an easy walk along the sea. If it's too hot then there are plenty of buses from Tel Aviv central station and various stops along Allenby and Ben Yehuda Streets
