Jaffa Old Town - the place to be

One of our favourite places!
Also known as Yafo, it is an ancient port city & Tel Aviv’s “older sister.” Jaffa boasts bountiful history, along with charming lanes, antiquities, quiet churches, galleries and a picturesque fishing port. The flea market is a well known attraction of the area, with vendors selling a diverse range of interesting and unique products.
With its laid back atmosphere, hip restaurants and bars, it is a counterweight to the urban Tel Aviv.

Quick Guide to Israel

This shall just give you a taste of Israel - do not mistake it being a travel guide.
Israelis are warm and welcome - you'll enjoy your time!

Tel Aviv is situated along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean and offers surfing all year-round. The long stretch of white sand provides a beach for everyone.
Wether it is the more relaxed "Jerusalem Beach", the busy "Gordon Beach", the hip "Gay Beach" or the "Dog Beach" close to Jaffa (with dogs playing with each other) - each has a special charm.

Tel Aviv is a global city, and is the twenty-fifth most important financial center in the world. Known as a "party capital" and for its pride parade, it has a lively nightlife, dynamic atmosphere and a famous 24-hour culture.

The Carmel Market (aka. Shuk HaCarmel) is definitely a place to visit! You can find there almost anything imaginable for the lowest prices in the city. From different kinds of bread and pastry to delicious olives, dried fruits, local sweets and exotic spices. The market is a trendy spot for bars, restaurants, coffee shops and chef-owned food stalls. We highly recommend you to walk around in the small alleys, find a traditional Yemenite restaurant and try their delicious dishes.

The City of David is an archeological park that tells the story of the establishment of Jerusalem and its history. One of the most fascinating parts of the City of David is the tunnel of Shiloh - a long tunnel that was carved during the period of King Hezkiyahu.
We really enjoyed getting our legs wet in the tunnel in complete darkness, feeling like Indiana Jones.

The Western Wall (aka Wailing Wall) is located in the Old City of Jerusalem. Since it is the last remnant of the Temple in Jerusalem, it became the most sacred spot in Jewish religion.
Write a wish on a piece of paper, put it in a crack in the wall and it will come true.

One of the holiest places of Christianity - The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
It is identified as the place both of the crucifixion and the tomb of Jesus. The church has long been a major pilgrimage center for Christians all around the world.

The port city Eilat is located at the northern tip of the Red Sea. Its beautiful coral reefs and beaches make it a popular diving destination. Go to snorkel, dive and meet the dolphins.
We can highly recommend Shulamit's Diving Adventures - Shulamit even speaks fluently German & English ;)

Outside the water you can have a lot of sun, fun and partying. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the Negev desert landscape. It has spectacular routes for mountain biking and hiking.

The Dead Sea is a salt lake that is truly one of Earth’s most unique places. It is the lowest point on earth (417 meters below sea level). Visitors can float effortlessly on the water due to its concentration of minerals, which is the highest in the world. The air is extremely dry, and temperatures are high throughout the year during winter, making the Dead Sea a destination for visitors 365 days a year. Most visitors come for the therapeutic value of the mud and salt water. People with skin disorders and ailments have found relief from treatments using the sea's natural resources.
Oh, and if you have an open cut or sore, be forewarned, the salt water stings.

Masada is a rugged natural fortress of majestic beauty in the Judaean Desert, overlooking the Dead Sea. It is a symbol of the ancient kingdom of Israel, its violent destruction and the last stand of Jewish patriots in the face of the Roman army, in 73 A.D. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Even though there is a Swiss cable car to take you up and down, it is a nice to walk by foot on the Snake Path.

Haifa is Israel’s third largest city and one of its prettiest. It is the home of the World Center of the Bahai Faith, and it features the country’s largest port and a particularly active beach. Take a tour in the Bahai Temple & Gardens (the most symmetric garden you'll ever find), enjoy a coffee in the charming German Colony and have a great hummus for lunch in downtown Haifa.

Haifa features one of the most famous Symphony Orchestras in the country.
Founded in 1950, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra is the center of musical life in Haifa and the most significant musical institute in northern Israel. The musicians are definitely the best, especially the violinists :)

Getting around Tel Aviv

By Bicycle 
All over the city you will find stations to rent bicycles. Look out for the green bicycles standing at the side of the street.
Public Transportation
Tel Aviv has good  bus connections all around the city.
Public transportation is not running on Shabbat (from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening).
Use the free wifi in Tel Aviv to check connections and plan your route or use a map.
By Taxi & Sherut
Taxis are all over the city. Sheruts are group taxis driving on some of the routes as the regular bus lines. Those come in handy on Shabbat, when the busses and trains don’t run.

Getting around Israel

From the Airport
The easiest way into the city is to take a private taxi or to take the train (running also during the night, once an hour).
Along the Coast 
The train along the coast is great
(not running on Shabbat).
To Jerusalem
Take the bus (not running on Shabbat) or a sherut.
To Massada & the Dead Sea
Ideally rent a car (Hertz, Avis,...). Alternatively, you can join organized tours (offered in various languages) or by public busses.

If you have any question regarding flights, accommodation, visa (most people won´t need one) or anything else - just contact us.
Traveling to Israel is super easy and you get perfectly along with English.
