Old Jaffa
יפו העתיקה
An ancient port town on a hill by the sea, with stone alleys, artists' studios, and St. Peter's Church. It overlooks the Tel Aviv coastline.
Jaffa is one of the oldest port cities in the world. Today's Old Jaffa sits on a small hill by the sea. Its limestone alleys are named after the twelve zodiac signs, and galleries and handicraft workshops line the streets. At the top of the hill, Abrasha Park has the “Gate of Faith” sculpture and an observation deck with views of the entire Tel Aviv coastline. It is best to visit at sunset. Entry to the Old City is free, and it is open all day. From the city center, it takes about 40 minutes on foot or by bike along the seaside promenade.
