MITF – Bat Yam – TT

Located on the Mediterranean Sea only 15 minutes south of Tel Aviv, Bat Yam is Israels 12th largest city, home to 160,000 residents (30% of whom are new immigrants from former soviet countries). Off the tourist track, Bat Yam has clean beaches, fresh fruit and vegetable markets, bars and restaurants, as well as sports centers, museums, cultural centers, and libraries. With multiple forms of public transportation operating to and from Yafo and Tel Aviv, Bat Yam is an oasis of peace and quiet outside of the hustle and bustle of the big city, yet still close enough to enjoy the cultural and social nightlife of its closest neighbor. With nearly 10 months of sunshine, Bat Yam is your perfect choice to call home.
