Check out the amazing cemetery and old town near the fort and Medina. Cafe Grottes has a stunning view.

We did a day trip from our resort and glad we did! It cost a couple of pounds and we were taken around the old town, through the markets, to the markets and met some of the locals - very charming place, and it was nice to see tourism hasn't taken over this part of Tunisia just yet - I... More

Маленькое кафе Сиди Салем, расположенное прямо на террасах на склоне горы над морем за мединой. Оттуда открывается потрясающий вид на море, сверкающее и необыкновенно прекрасное. Мы нашли его по запаху свежей и вкусной еды. Кроме того, там ели тунисцы - верный признак качественного заведения. Мы заказали там круассаны и тунисский чай.

We found them quite funny and willing to... More

We had a taxi trip around the old town visiting the old cemeteries, the ports, cafes, medina and old walls. Beware of sellers who now use the old scam of saying they are working at your hotel and tell you to come into their shops!! They can see from your wrist band which hotel you are from.They will not be... More
