HAMMAMET
| Hammamet is possibly
the best-known resort in Tunisia. It has changed greatly
from the small fishing village it once was, evolving
into a sought-after holiday resort in the 1920’s.
Known as the ‘garden resort’ it is backed
by olive, orange and lemon groves and lines of cypress
trees.
Hammamet’s centre is a miniature cape jutting
out into the sea with the well preserved 13th century
Kasbah offering pleasing views over the gleaming domes
of the Medina (the old walled city) and the white sands
of the coastline.
The newer quarters of Hammamet with shops, cafés
and restaurants spread out from the Medina

Eating
Out and Night Life
For refined Tunisian food with a French influence, try
Les Trois Moutons or Dar Lella restaurants. Reasonably
priced snacks are available in the cafés in the
town centre. Afterwards head for one of the open-air
nightclubs.
|
| Getting Around
Trains to Tunis, Sousse and El Djem leave several times
a day from nearby Bir Bou Regba station. Taxis are cheap
and plentiful and a noddy train runs around the resort.
