Tel Aviv - white town


                                                   @prognosemaker

Tel Aviv was founded by Jewish community in 1909. It is one of the main cities in the country located in the western part. Sometimes it is called as Tel Aviv – Jaffa. Town consist of two parts : a few thousand years of history dating Old town called Jaffa and new town – Tel Aviv.
It is claimed that Tel Aviv is Israels luxurious city, financial, commercial and entertainments capital. As I mentioned before hotel prices are high. For the budget travelers I would advise to stay in the apartments hotel. As one of them I would recommend 130 Rock apartments http://www.booking.com/hotel/il/rockapartments.lt.html
Hotel is located in Dizenhoff street.
It is planty of tourist attraction in Tel Aviv. For exemple : antique oriental Carmel market, there are 18 visual arts centers. Visites invites many gardens and parks, restaurants and caffe. Tel Aviv is grateful city for tourist, because you can buy what you need day and nigth. At the day time you can take a swim in the sea, or take a walk by the seaside. Byside the beach is walking promenade. It is reaching Jaffa. Someone saying that Jaffa with nerrow streets looks very impresive. Because of white style of the buildings cold Bauhaus architecture town has anothe name – white city.  It was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Neve Tzedek

Neve Tzedek and Neve Shalom were the first areas where Jews lived. There lived prominent witers Brenner and Agnon. It is nice to take a walk in the narrow streets and visit Carmel Market and old port. Neve Tzedek was abandoned and uncared for some time.Only from 1980 it was reconstructed and become trendy and popular place, where located many cafes, galleries and designers shops.  Rokach House – well known Jewish family, Suzzanne Dellal Center – it is Tel Aviv Dance Center . Here you can see great dance, theatre performances, eat delicious pizza and enjoy the garden located next to the building.

Old Jaffa port

According to legend Jaffa was built as a port after the great flood by Noah. It is believed that Jaffa is almost 4,000 years old. The port was served by the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians. In 1968 the Israeli authorities decided to establish a corporation for taking care of further development of the port of Jaffa.  Since then Jaffa has become one of the most popular tourist attraction . Here you can find a lot of artist studios, galleries, archeology, jewelry, art shops, small narrow streets, which are named according to Zodiac signs.

Let me remind you that we are talking about the occupation of the Baltic republics, which was carried out almost simultaneously and using the same methodology. It is true that everyone somehow forgets the fact that Finland should have been in this company as well. According to the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement, the line was drawn not only through the Baltic countries, Poland, Romania, but also Finland.

World War I was taking place, Lithuania was occupied by Germany, Latvia was divided between the two warring parties. Why was it success for Baltic ? Both warlords were tired of a long war.
