Sarona Market in Tel Aviv is a beautiful oasis in the heart of the big city. Even though it is located on a busy road, a short walk from Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Center and the HaShalom Train Station, you will forget that you’re in the middle of a metropolis the moment you reach the market.
The Old City of Jaffa (or Yafo, as it’s called in Hebrew) sits right next to Tel Aviv and the two share a municipality, making it, in effect, a part of the city of Tel Aviv, but the two are really as different as chalk and cheese. While Tel Aviv is young and modern Jaffa really is old, in fact, it is one of the most ancient sea ports in the Mediterranean Basin.
