TEL AVIV
We don't agree with the politics, but the people, the food and the city are amazing. Tel Aviv is hipster paradise. Super gay friendly, with a great nightlife and beautiful beaches.

WHERE TO STAY?
Tel Aviv is a relative small city, so it doesn't really matter in which part you stay. Many people prefer a place close to the beach. We really love Florentin. Still a bit rough around the edges, it has a hipster & gay friendly vibe with lots of cafes and its laid-back bars with craft beer and live jazz bands.

PANDA PITA
Panda Pita is a must-try street food spot in Tel Aviv. Their fluffy pita and crispy falafel with delicious tahini sauce are excellent, but the real showstoppers are their innovative fusion pitas. The Eggplant fillet in the cloud pita, the Sea fish ceviche pita with Tunisian-style fresh fish, and the Meat sloppy pita with a mixture of steel lamb and long-cooked ground veal ribs with caramelised onions are all divine examples of haute cuisine colliding with the beloved Israeli pita.
