A short walk south along the coast from downtown Tel Aviv brings you to the old Arab port town of Jaffa, with its preserved acropolis remains and well-restored stone architecture. Much of the original bazaar area is now home to restaurants and artisan boutiques. It's particularly lively in the evening when the old town throngs with diners. The flea market here is the major attraction for visitors, full of the hubbub of a genuine souk, while St. Peter's Monastery and the Old Port area itself are also not to be missed. Compared to the big-city hustle of Tel Aviv, Jaffa is a wonderfully tranquil place for a stroll that, despite serious gentrification, still retains its old-fashioned charm. Location: 2 kilometers south from Tel Aviv

It is an ancient port city in Israel, off the Mediterranean coast. Jaffa existed as an independent city for thousands of years until it was merged with Tel Aviv in 1949, and since then it has been one of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa boroughs. During the Crusades, Jaffa was a district in the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. From then until the twentieth century, the city served as a major and important port in the Land of Israel. The establishment of Tel Aviv nearby, and the use of other ports, meant that the port was down. During the Mandate, the city was an important center for the Arab-Palestinian population. During the War of Independence, the Irgun forces and the defense occupied the city: about ninety percent of its Arab residents fled, and new Jewish immigrants settled there. In recent years, the percentage of Arab residents has grown from all Jaffa residents. Jaffa is the oldest port city in the world.
