Every year, millions of tourists from around the world go on vacation to North Africa, namely to Tunisia. The popularity of this tourist destination is associated with a high level of development of thalassotherapy, as well as a rich excursion program in this country. The bulk of vacationers come here from Western Europe, especially France. Tunisia was once a French colony, so the locals communicate perfectly in the languages of Balzac and Hugo. Tours to this country with Russian tourists have become popular relatively recently. They are attracted by the excellent combination of “price-quality”, which can be found in three-star hotels in Tunisia, for example, in Chiraz Thalasso 3 *, as well as low prices for thalassotherapy compared to European ones.
How to get to Tunisia?
The Tunisian government is very interested in attracting large flows of Russian tourists, therefore, an agreement on visa-free entry (for a period of 90 days) of tourists from Russia to the territory of Tunisia was signed between the two states. For several years now direct regular flights have been made from Moscow to the capital of this African country. In the summer, there are charter flights to other cities of Tunisia. If you bought a tour to the Chiraz Thalasso 3 * hotel, then it is most convenient for you to go either to Monastir or Enfid. The flight duration from Moscow to Tunisia is just over 4 hours. Both airports are approximately the same distance from the Skanes resort. It is here that on the first beach line is Chiraz Thalasso Resort 3 *. Usually, the price of the tour includes a transfer, and tourists are met by the hotel staff upon arrival and comfortably delivered to the hotel complex. However, if this service was not agreed in advance, then you can get to Skanes by yellow taxi or regular bus. The first option, of course, is more convenient and faster.
