Flight, Hotel & Holiday Bargains to Tunisia
Summary
Situated in Northern Africa, Tunisia provides a contrast of modern beach resorts to the more traditional, cultured and reserved. Renowned for its 800 miles of white sandy beaches, more and more British holidaymakers are taking holidays to Tunisia every year. With two main coasts, the North and the South, there’s plenty on offer. Over on the north coast are the popular resorts of Hammamet, Skanes, Sousse and the family favourite, Port El Kantaoui. Holidaymakers flock here during the summer months due to the powdery sand beaches, crystalline waters and well-equipped modern facilities and cosmopolitan atmosphere .Bars and restaurants fill the promenades and have an array of local and international cuisines to entice your appetite. The south coast is a huge contrast to the tourist hot spot of the north, home to many locals and boasting a more serene and historical setting, package holidays to Tunisia were once suffering because of this but with the help of marketing and word of mouth, bargain holidays to Tunisia are set to increase.
Getting there and getting around
Flights into Tunisia tend to land in one of two airports, either Monastir International or Tunis-Carthage. Monastir is more commonly used since cheap holidays in Tunisia were more commonly found flying here,Monastir International operates with only one terminal yet still manages to handle more than 3 million passengers every year. Also, holidays in Tunisia needn’t be stressful, with a mere three hour flying time you will be on your sun bed before you know it.
Transfers are available from around the airport and vary in times depending on which resort you are travelling to. Buses run to virtually everywhere in the Country so transport is not a problem.
Things to do
Tunisia Holidays are proving even more popular because of the up and coming tourist attractions and increase of returning satisfied customers. You have the choice of relaxing on sun drenched beaches whilst looking out over glistening waters, or perhaps take a trip to the most famous landmark in Tunisia, The Ancient Carthage’ a site of roman ruins aging from 202AD, remains of villas, bathhouses and theatres lie here and is said to have one point been the empires second largest City, with Rome being the first.
The resort of Port El Kantaoui is in fact a purpose built holiday resort and brings in more tourists than any other of her neighbouring resorts. Featuring many hotels and a vast amount of bars and restaurants, it’s safe to say this is a firm favourite for British holiday makers, especially for those travelling with young children. Many of the stately properties feature excellent children’s facilities and there’s a fantastic amusement and water park very central.
Food and drink
Tunisian locals have an appetite for very hot and spicy food, a speciality for them is ‘slada mechouia’ a delicious meal made from grilled green peppers, tomatoes, onions and finely chopped garlic, topped with another local delicacy, a spice named harissa. However Tunisian eateries tend to cater more for the tastes of their European visitors and therefore serve harissa separately giving you the option of spicing things up or not. Another favourite is the famous cous cous, a speciality in many foreign countries.
Tunisians tend to consume black tea after their lunch and dinner and prompt their holidaymakers to give it a try. An approximate 85% of Tunisian families swear by this tea and it is still an ongoing tradition to this day.
