Jaffa
Jaffa, also known as Japho or Joppa in Hebrew and Yafo in Arabic, is an ancient port city in Israel. It is located in the southern and oldest part of Tel Aviv-Yafo. This place is famous for its links to the biblical stories of Jonah, Solomon, and Saint Peter, as well as the mythological stories of Andromeda and Perseus, and later for its oranges. Jaffa is now one of Israel's mixed cities, with Arabs constituting approximately 37% of the population.
Jaffa, one of Tel Aviv's oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods, deserves its own mention. Its hotels and the beauty of its coast draw many tourists looking for peace and the opportunity to visit remnants dating from Roman times until the arrival of the Arabs. Jaffa's port offers the most authentic local cuisine, both on the seafront and in the ancient cobblestone streets, as well as a historical flea market surrounded by boutiques and galleries. At night, the area comes alive with bustling restaurants and bars, making it a favorite among both locals and visitors.
