How about a trip to Tunisia
A Brief Summary
When thinking of Mediterranean resorts, Tunisia isn’t often on people’s radar and depending on what you’re looking for, that could be a good, or bad thing. If you’re looking for somewhere with hugely reliable weather, lovely beaches, decent accommodation options, fantastic food, a few historic and cultural sights to meander around during the days you don’t fancy being at the beach and some lively markets to trawl through, you could do a lot worse than the coastal towns of Sfax, Hammamet, Monastir or Sousse and all coming at a very favourable price. But, and it’s a reasonably significant one, if you’re not fond of “attention” when you’re lounging on the soft white sands, minding you’re own business just perusing the markets and old towns, or you fancy a lively resort with bars and clubs as your nightly go-to option, Tunisia isn’t for you.
I guess you need to decide what you really want and what you might be prepared to put up with in order to get it…
