The great advantage of the port area is that it offers activities all through the day, so you can spend the morning or afternoon there with family and kids, enjoying a coffee in Shalvata while your children enjoy playing on the sand, or a gourmet breakfast in Gilly's restaurant, but also enjoy nighttime activity, eating in one of the areas many restaurants or enjoying a show, a drink or a night of clubbing. In short you have all and any options; you could even indulge yourself with a dozen fresh oysters in the seafood gourmet restaurant Mol-Yam.

Be sure to come to the Port on Friday nights through the end of August for a very lively, musical Kabbalat Shabbat right on the Mediterranean! A very moving experience. It starts at about 1830 and lasts until at least sunset. You won't be sorry!
