Visit archaeological sites
Tunisia is a country with a rich history and has many UNESCO World Heritage Sites that attract a large number of archeology enthusiasts each year. The ancient Phoenician city of Carthage is an illustrious example: it contains Punic, Roman and Byzantine vestiges, the tophet (sanctuary and necropolis) of Tanit and Baal Hammon, the oldest Punic holy site in Carthage, and the monumental Antonine Baths, the building most spectacular of this place.

Staying on the islands
The islands of Tunisia have a pleasant climate of peace and tranquility, so you will love them. A good example is the Kerkennah Islands, off Sfax. The Kerkennah archipelago is made up of two main islands: Gharbi (Mellita) and Chergui (Greater Kerkennah) connected by a dike of Roman origin (El Kantara). In Kerkennah you can find numerous lagoons and green plains populated by exotic palm trees. An oasis of peace in a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, ideal to unwind.

 Tour the Mediterranean coast

On the Coral Coast, the beach of Cape Serrat, surrounded by a pine forest, offers a magnificent landscape of dunes that merge with the sea, whose waters are of an intense blue color. Further south on the Coral Coast, Tabarka Beach is a favorite summer resort for scuba divers thanks to its beautiful seabed and coral.
