Vacation Apartment Tel Aviv – A Great Time in Old Jaffa

The municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffo was not always great at taking advantage of Jaffa's long and impressive history, but in recent years the municipality has taken several measures that aim to make Jaffa more accessible and welcoming to people who enjoy holiday apartments in Tel Aviv. A holiday rental Tel Aviv opens the door to major renovations of the port have taken place, and walking around in the port of Jaffo is now a very nice experience. Holiday rentals Tel Aviv give access to many great restaurants and coffee shops in the area, which is basically a long boardwalk that you can access by simply walking south from any beach in Tel Aviv (and while you do so, you can actually see Jaffa, so estimating the distance from where you are should not be too hard), as well as a nice food market, in a new building. We especially recommend the Rokach tapas bar, if you are not very hungry!

Jaffa is very different from Tel Aviv and your holiday rental Tel Aviv gives you easy access to this area. ,Founded in 1909, since this city is actually considered to be the world's oldest port, and the area where it is located has been inhabited since around the year 7 500 BCE. The city itself is believed to be over 4 000 years old, so it's no wonder Jaffa is mentioned several times in the Bible, and the historical feel is still something you very strongly feel when you visit this part of Tel Aviv.

Holiday rentals Tel Aviv also means holiday rentals Tel Aviv Jaffo because it is part of the same city. Jaffo/Yaffa or Jaffa, however you want to spell it, is now a part of the municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa and definitely one of the most interesting parts of the city, especially for history buffs. And let's face it, a lot of people who visit Israel are into history in some way, even though Tel Aviv might not be at the top of the list of destinations they go to when in the country.

Your vacation apartment Tel Aviv and Jaffa gives you access to great hummus which is one of the dishes you absolutely must try, since this is one of the most authentic Middle Eastern dishes, not only in Israel, but all over the Middle East, and hummus also happens to be the favorite dish of many Israelis. So if you ask Israelis about hummus, they will all guide you to different hummus places, depending on which one they think is the best.

One of the few places that pretty much all hummus eaters agree is one of the best, if not even THE best in the entire country, however, is Hummus Abu Hassan, in Jaffa, not far from your holiday rental Tel Aviv and the world's oldest port, and now a part of the municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Jaffo itself is a rather charming place to visit, with a lot of interesting sights (but more about the rest of them some other time), so making the trip here just for the hummus is actually well worth it.
