Skanes Holidays

Skanes Holidays – Superb sandy beaches north of historic Monastir
Holidays in Skanes are based in one of the most popular resorts in Tunisia, 4 miles south of historic Monastir and a short transfer from Monastir airport. This resort attracts a broad range of ages with a wide choice of modern hotels along a continuous stretch of fine sandy beach stretching for miles between the historic towns of Sousse and Monastir. Wide, gently shelving Skanes beach is well maintained and has clean soft white sand and strikingly blue water. Most hotels here have their own private section of beach; ideal for sunbathing, relaxation and safe swimming.

Holidays in Skanes – Comfortable beach base for Monastir
Skanes breaks very much centre on the excellent hotels with their cafes, restaurants, entertainment and live shows. For a change from hotel restaurants, visitors could sample the cafes and traditional food found around Monastir marina. While many visitors are content to while away their time here on the beach, Skanes itineraries should definitely include a couple of trips into nearby Monastir for a taste of Tunisian culture. The ancient Muslim fortress is one of the finest in North Africa. Breaks in Skanes are not complete without exploring the medina, a fascinating maze of alleyways packed with local goods like leather, jewellery, copperware and carpets. Popular daytrips could also include trips to the fascinating old town of Sousse. Visitors can make use of cheap local taxis and mini trains for getting along the beach and visiting Monastir.

Skanes Holidays – Fascinating excursions and desert safaris
Golf holidays here are popular, with at least two first-class courses in the area. Skanes activities could also include watersports, tennis, horse riding, camel rides and boat trips. Popular excursions include Hammamet, Bedouin feasts, the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said, the holy city of Kairouan, the fantastic Roman amphitheatre at El Jem and Tunis. A highlight of many Skanes getaways is an exciting desert safari to Matmata, Kebili or Douz.
