The Flea Market

The flea market in Jaffa is an excellent place to spend an entire
day at, especially if you like second hand items. There are a lot
of bargains, knickknacks and furniture here.
Throughout the day the market maintains its old nature, since
the early days of the 19th century. In this period Jaffa was a
central port town, through which many traders and visitors
arrived in Israel. At the time of the British mandate the market
took the form and style we see today.
In the recent years the market has changed a lot. Ten years ago,
when the market would close in the evening, there was no one in
the streets. There wasn’t even any light, and the atmosphere was
a little scary. Today it’s an entirely different story: the market is
full of restaurants and bars, and has turned into a lively center
even in the late hours of the night. Many young people now live
in Jaffa, because Tel Aviv is very expensive.
