Stay at the 1920s-era Hotel Jaffa (from $220/night) for sea views and Ottoman charm. Eat at Shalom’s Fish Market ($15–$25 entrées) for grilled sardines and octopus. Explore the Jaffa Museum of Art and the ancient port. Avoid weekends for crowds; weekdays offer quieter strolls past street artists and the 18th-century St. Peter’s Church.

Eat at Boker Tov ($10–$15) for vegan shakshuka and at Zalman’s ($8–$12) for falafel. Walk the murals on Ben Yehuda Street, then head to the weekly Flea Market on Fridays. Avoid summer nights; temperatures exceed 35°C (95°F) and the area becomes a heat trap.
