I liked the rest in Tunisia very much, although it all depends on what mood you eat, how you want to relax, and with whom you eat there ! ! our desires coincided with the possibilities of Tunisia and Orient in particular)) In order: The hotel is well located - in the middle between Port el Kantaoui and the Medina (the old part), for 4 dinars (2 euros) in the afternoon and 5 dinars in the evening you will be taken anywhere! only when you get into a taxi IMMEDIATELY negotiate the price! and do not go by the counter (in general, bargaining in this country is sacred). While the rest of the tourists were transported by transfer, our hotel was outwardly the most elegant! Inside there is a huge hall and a slightly "ancient" crystal chandelier 20 meters long hangs from the ceiling, but the view is "impressive", pleases the eye). for $ 20 baksheesh settled on the 2nd floor overlooking the sea and the pool, room 270 was. The room is clean, unusual (polygonal shape), everything is in bright colors, a lot of mirrors, TV even with Russian ORT (not plasma), the view from the balcony is amazing, the bedding is clean, the towels were always fresh, not quite new, but fresh and clean, without spots. separate bathroom, though san. the technique is a bit old, but this is nonsense, everything worked well). They cleaned every day, towels were also changed every day, and it did not depend on whether we left 1 dinar or not). MOST important - all inclusive - safe in the room for free! in other hotels for money. Refrigerator and water provided in the room every day. Meals: their breakfast let us down: only eggs, cereal with yogurt, potatoes, stewed vegetables, scrambled eggs, sometimes sausage, buns and tea coffee. BUT for lunch and dinner, there was an abundance of everything! and salads, and meat, and fish, and side dishes. . . several times they gave shrimp and octopus, and everything is sooo delicious! I was struck by the presence in early June of watermelons, peaches, apricots. You definitely won't be hungry! Minus - snacks between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner - none, there is nothing. The territory is large, well-groomed, minus only - the beach is small, and when the sea stormed on the beach, they threw algae, they were removed, but lazily and not immediately - for dinner. There are 2 indoor pools and a regular one - very large. there were enough sunbeds for everyone, beach towels = bail was given. Animation is not wow ah, but it was not boring, during the day - water polo, aqua aerobics, aerobics, darts, volleyball, crust. tennis - free, big tennis - for money. in the evening there were shows, concerts and lotteries. Disco in the hotel is decent, but few people went there. The bar is open from 10 a. m. to 12 p. m. , you MUST try the local date liqueur there - Tiborin, delicious, you can’t buy this from us. you can buy it home at the General store (only they sell alcohol there) for 20 euros, BUT in duty free. . . for 10! ! The main plus of the hotel, which cardinally distinguished it from others (we talked with tourists on excursions) - there were no pensioners with chopsticks from Europe)! It is better for girls not to go out at night, but with a campaign for the same 5 dinars, there are excellent disco in the city! Bora Bora was still closed (opening from 11 June). Disco Saloon to go towards the Medina - there is club and pop music, 50/50 locals and tourists, and Super Disco Platinum Metallica in Porto el Kantaoui, 80% tourists 20% local, outwardly it is less presentable, but larger in size, more people and club and r&b music. All discos are open from 12.30 at night. . there is no point in leaving earlier. In Porto El Ca there are excellent fish restaurants, not expensive, they cook the fish on the grill that they caught today, insanely delicious! In the old part of the city, there is a market where you can buy cheap souvenirs (cheaper than in Turkey), camel leather bags (do not give more than 15-20 euros for a small bag, bargain) of pretty good quality! there is a fruit and vegetable market there (before it you need to go through the clothing market for 5-7 minutes you will be shown) there is not expensive olive oil, sweets and dates for 8 euros per kg! in general, it’s better to take everything you eat home there, since at the beginning of the market (medina) where everything is sold, you can “get lost” and buy dates in a package, and not by weight, for 12 euros for 0.4-0.5 kg)) If go out onto the main road and go towards the Medina (the sea is behind, you go to the left), walk for 7-8 minutes, you will find yourself in an excellent cafe with delicious ice cream ! ! I don’t remember the name, it consists of two words, the first is shorter than three times, there are only locals, tourists apparently don’t know much about this place, but this is some kind of “ice cream” restaurant by their standards)) for 4 euros they will bring you a huge portion, chic ice cream! ! and an awesome hookah costs a penny there). Excursions - be sure to visit the Sahara ! ! 2 days is exhausting, but it's worth it! ! it’s worth going to Tunisia just for the sake of the Sahara)) Carthage-Sidi-bou-Said-Museum of Mosaics is also interesting, but it’s better to go on this excursion to the Sahara, after this excursion you won’t be so pleased! and don't take from the hotel guides for 35 dinars a boat trip on a pirate ship, in Porto el ka or ships that are in the Medina, you will ride max for 20 dinars)) Have a good rest !!!!!!!! !
