The balmy beaches of Tel Aviv-Yafo may not be a winter wonderland, but that didn’t stop four talented volleyball players from getting into Santa Claus suits for a holiday-themed game on Gordon Beach.
The city is always a hub of outdoor activity and that has only been strengthened during the Covid-19 outbreak. With indoor entertainment shut down, people are spending more time staying fit on the 13 beaches, the long promenade, the parks and boulevards.
