Israel: Tel Aviv Old Port and Walking Tour

Israel: Tel Aviv Old Port and Walking Tour
This family's experience:

Activities: We walked around the Tel Aviv Old Port. It is the northern end of the boardwalk, and is now connected by a really nice walking path to the main boardwalk. On weekday mornings you will find fishermen with lines dropped into the Mediterranean Sea, mothers with strollers walking through, and a general peacefulness. Gaze out at the perfect blue ocean ahead, and then walk down to other parts of the beach boardwalk or sit down to a classic Israeli breakfast. The Tel Aviv Port Market has a variety of shops and cafes to enjoy!

Highlights: We enjoyed walking around the port and seeing the fishermen and mothers with strollers. We also had a delicious Israeli breakfast at one of the cafes. The Tel Aviv Port Market has a variety of shops and cafes to enjoy! ✨
