נמל יפו | Jaffa port

google translate:

I was in the port of Jaffa today with my mother and my son and we had a lot of fun. Theres a reason that we almost didnt found any parking there (just by a long shot at the end of parking lot almost in batyam :)) The place is packed with people, even because it was a great summer weather.

There are many attraction area today that can be visited with children or even without children. Holon has the la- park, Tel Aviv station compound, Sharona and even the port of Tel Aviv is considered in my category. They all share a lot of artificiality. Everything has been renovated and with it sitting on a historical basis like Sharona, or the station complex, it looks too new and too clean for my taste. The park complex in general is strong in the category of artificial that it advertises itself. Not that it was necessarily bad, but I was getting a bit tired of it.

The Jaffa Port has such a good atmosphere of yesteryears. It does not seem to be trying to change it too much. The boats are anchored alongside the walkway near the walls. It all looks like a section of a street from some Greek island, very similar to the port next to the Old Town of Rhodes

It's as if it's not enough fun to stroll along the harbor and enjoy good fish restaurants, Fish and chips (and shrimp and chips for those who love) to see quality street performances, board cruises and more. Suddenly you can identify the entrance to the Old City and you can start climbing the stairs along all sorts of interesting boutique shops and then get to the top and discover another area with restaurants of a different kind from those that were down in the harbor and breathtaking scenery.

I warmly recommend to anyone who has doubts about what to do on Saturday mornings and has not thought about the idea until now.
