Many people, mostly women, choose Tunisia because of thalassotherapy. This skill was taught to the locals by the French, who once had colonies here.

Travel cost
How much is a ticket? An important question for many people whose vacation falls in the fall. You can safely choose Tunisia in September: prices are slightly lower than in August. This is because the peak of the holiday season has passed, families with school-age children have already rested. Of course, you won’t be able to save a lot, because October and November remain comfortable for swimming and sunbathing. If in the last summer month a week of rest for one person will cost an average of $ 600, then in September this amount will decrease by 30-50 US dollars. A stay in a five-star hotel with meals included will cost $ 700 and more. Buying a last-minute tour can cost a penny in general, and a thirty percent discount is provided for early booking vouchers.
You can reduce costs by organizing a trip yourself, without the help of travel agencies. Housing will cost about 10 euros per week for one (if you rent a villa or a cottage for several people). Even cheaper is a room away from the beach and places of entertainment, with amenities in the yard and so on.
Have a nice rest, unforgettable impressions!
