Monastir

Monastir ranks 4th in the list of the most beautiful coastal towns in Tunisia. There is a land in the center east of Tunisia where the air is so mild, the sky is so clear, the sea is so blue, and the friendship is so spontaneous that one would never want to leave. The name itself, Monastir, is an invitation to travel. Monastir exudes a very pleasant southern charm. It is a coastal city in Tunisia's Tunisian Sahel, located on a peninsula south-east of the Gulf of Hammamet, about twenty kilometers east of Sousse and 162 kilometers south of Tunis. In 2014, the municipality's population was 93,306 people.

Travelers discovering Monastir for the first time are frequently struck by the strength of the historical heritage and the quiet permanence of traditions in this city that appears open and modern. The Ribat, the city's symbol, is one of Tunisia's most impressive monuments. Monastir is a very pleasant city to explore on foot: we stroll along its seafront to the Ribat (citadel), then explore its marina and historic district. This one is full of lovely surprises along its cobblestone streets.

Furthermore, most establishments provide an advantage in terms of architecture, catering, and service. The high season draws a large number of visitors, but in the middle and low seasons, Monastir is one of Tunisia's most pleasant seaside resorts. If tanning and water sports are important to you and you do not want to rely on public transportation, choose a hotel in the city center or one of the hotels located west of the center, along the beach of Skanès, where the constructions are new and in good condition.
