An authentic glimpse into Tunisian life
Zarzis is a town in southern Tunisia and known for its beaches and laid-back atmosphere. It isn’t as developed as other beach resorts, so you don’t have to peel back many layers to get to know the authentic side of this town and see how a mix of cultures has shaped its food and architecture.
Take the chance to explore the ancient medina, a maze of narrow streets and alleys with vibrant colours, smells and sounds all around. You'll find a variety of traditional shops selling local crafts and souvenirs, from intricate pottery and handmade textiles to beautiful jewellery and leather goods.
If you’re looking for more shops and restaurants, Djerba island isn’t far, and there are more sensational swathes of soft sand here if you fancy exploring the area beach by beach.
