Ashkelon is the southernmost Mediterranean city in Israel and one of the most ancient ports in the world. The modern city was established in 1948 and has since then grown to house 130,000 people and it's a nice place even if it lacks visible proof of its long history. I visited there last summer and I really enjoyed my short time there.
