Jakob took us to a small hostel cum backpackers in the centre of the city close to the beach. Very basic but livable and good for our stay while waiting to catch the boat to Italy. It gave us the change to explore this gritty part of the city. Israel is not cheap, in fact it is one of the more expensive countries that we have come across.
Momos hostel charge per room was 45Euro’s night. Africa in comparison is really cheap to travel, even South Africa in comparison is cheaper to travel that Israel.
Tel-Aviv’s cosmopolitan feel rubs off on you quite quick. The warm Mediterranean buzz is all around. Café’s on the ocean along the promenade in Tel-Aviv, a variety of restaurants offering falafel’s, shawarma’s, Rugelach and Sufganiyot, Ice Cream Bars and open air markets. Tel Aviv was genuinely delicious city with much to offer.
We took to the roads and was pleasantly surprised at the huge amount of street markets around. Local cuisine, sweets, art works, clothes, spices and anything handmade was on offer. Tel Aviv is definitely a more open-minded city cosmopolitan city compared to the others we visited. Dress code is more relaxed and beaches filled with tanned bodies.
We spend a few days around the promenade and on the beach. The sunsets over the mediterranean sea are some of the best we have seen and with the pleasant warm weather the evening drinking beers on beach went down well.
Glad you were at least able to recover some pics, thanks for sharing!
