Jaffa Flea Market is the ancient port out of which modern day Tel Aviv has grown. Just next to Jaffa’s picturesque Old City and ancient Clock Tower, is a treasure trove of antiques, handmade and secondhand items over at the Jaffa Flea Market, or, in Hebrew Shuk Hapishpishim. Literally “the Flea Market”, this port-side neighborhood of alleyways, covered walkways and outdoor verandas has been operating for more than 100 years across the same sprawling streets, and is one of the highlights of the area with vendors selling products of any variety imaginable lining the sidewalks. Open six days a week, from Sunday through Friday, from morning through early evening hours, Jaffa Flea Market is where to go for finding those unique, one-of-a-kind items from long ago.
