Things to do in Jaffa:

• Strolling through Jaffa’s narrow, winding streets is like stepping back in time. Smell the aromatic spices in the air, sip strong coffee in tiny, family-run cafés and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze in this ancient port city

• Ancient streets end at teeming bazaars, golden buildings perch above the crashing waves of the Mediterranean and fishing folk haul in their catch in the historic port, just as they have done for centuries.

• Taking a culinary tour of Jaffa is a must-do. Dr Shakshuka, in Jaffa’s flea market, is the place to go for authentic shakshuka or taste the hummus at Abu Hassan restaurant, which lays claim to the title of the best hummus in the world.

• Don’t miss the Cuckoo’s Nest, Jaffa’s coolest bar. It features a rooftop beer garden, rotating art exhibits, movie nights and awesome cocktails, wine and food.

• Art is everywhere in Jaffa. The Greek market is the city’s oldest market for artists and art dealers, and the place to go for unusual and unique art bargains.
