(transfer time from Tunis Airport - 15 minutes)
Often compared to the French Riviera the Carthage Coast is located to the north of Tunis in an area with 20 km of beach and features the more sophisticated resorts of Sidi Bou Said, Gammarth and La Marsa. Ideal for travellers seeking a resort based holiday, but with easy access to the hustle and bustle of Tunis. Sidi Bou Said, often described as an artist's paradise, is a very pretty village with blue and white stepped houses situated on a headland overlooking the Mediterranean. It is a popular haunt for tourists who come far and wide to visit its cobbled streets with shops, cafes and restaurants. Gammarth is a seaside resort which has developed over recent years with modern hotels alongside superb sandy beaches. La Marsa is a famous Tunisian seaside resort featuring a promenade lined with French colonial villas and a number of hotels and classy restaurants. Do visit the curious Saf Saf café which has its own well.
Where to go: It's so close you just cannot miss the opportunity to visit the capital city of Tunis. (trains run every 20 minutes) Try one of the many fish restaurants in the port of La Goulette and do take a quick look at the Kasbah built in 1535 by Charles V of Spain.
