Tunisia Holidays

Tunisia is the perfect introduction to a North African beach getaway and is a perfect balance of old and new that come together to add just the right ingredients to make this a great holiday destination.

Medinas, souks and a plethora of spindly minarets speckle the landscape, whilst a range of small villages merge with the many salt lakes and citrus groves. Meanwhile a venture further south will immerse you into a world of Saharan desert mystery and romance where Berber tribes dwell in desert caves and camels are the preferred mode of transport. Port El Kantoui is the sophisticated option, a cosmopolitan marina gives way to millionaires yachts and waterfront cafe bars, whilst a super range of restaurants and craft shops will leave you spoilt for choice. Further along the coast, the resorts of Sousse and Skanes offer lovely sandy beaches overlooked by superb hotel complexes.

The ancient medina in Sousse is also worth a visit and acts as the resort’s main show piece, where a labyrinth of narrow streets hide shop upon shop selling local crafts so have your bartering hat ready. Last, but not least, the tiny island resort of Djerba is well off the radar, so if escaping with a good book and not surfacing for a week or two is your idea of holiday bliss, then this resort is for you.
