Jaffa, Israel

Today we hired bikes to explore some of Tel Aviv. We started by cycling south along the beach toward Jaffa and Old Jaffa. Old Jaffa is a port side town comprising of sandstone alleyways, old churches and bridges. In Jaffa, there is a huge flea market, which lines a number of streets in the town. The merchants sell everything from second hand carpets to silver wear to clothing. We also ate lunch here - we had falafel, hummus and salad pitas.

After Jaffa, we got back on our bikes and headed north up the coastline. The beach is Tel Aviv is beautiful. The ocean is clear and there are plenty of beach cafes and bars in the sand. We stopped for a quick drink to enjoy the sunset before returning the bikes.Read more
