Wide sand beaches and fantastic kitesurfing
On the northern edge of the island of Djerba, life takes a slower pace in the Mezraia region. Perhaps it’s why spa hotels and thalassotherapy are so popular here. There’s a fabulous intertwinement of Mediterranean beach feels and North African heritage, influenced by communities that have all made their mark here in some way.
The wide beaches dotted with straw parasols are really quite something. They stretch for miles, so there’s plenty of space to spread out and find a patch to call your own. When you’re ready to retreat from the sun, the nearest town is Houmt Souk. Stroll past the white-washed buildings with blue shutters that give off Santorini vibes from across the Mediterranean Sea. This is the place to shop for souvenirs from the maze-like medina. Don’t miss twinkling displays of magnificent silver jewellery. And remember: try and haggle!
