Port Mahon

Mahon is the capital of Menorca, an island of pristine beaches, coves and inlets around the 216km coastline which allows the most adventurous to experience a satisfying sense of discovery.

Menorca must be one of the few places in the Mediterranean where it is possible to have a beautiful semi-deserted beach in the summer; also thanks to the fact that in 1993 UNESCO declared the island a biosphere reserve, with the aim of preserving its uncontaminated environmental areas, such as the s'Albufera d'es Grau natural park and the archaeological sites of the island. The second largest and northernmost of the Balearic Islands, Menorca also has a more humid climate and is usually a couple of degrees colder than the other islands.

Tunis

Arab hospitality awaits you in exotic Tunis, on the coast of North Africa; a unique city, rich in historical-archaeological finds recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, actually consists of three cities: the modern capital of the Tunisian Republic, with its wide streets, skyscrapers, and bustling cafes; the Arab Medina (Old City), dating back to the Middle Ages, an exciting labyrinth full of secrets, narrow streets, small shops, large mosques, and palaces, and finally Carthage, the ancient Phoenician-Roman center located 18 km from the city. Visit the Baths of Antonius and the Bardo Museum, which is not only the most important museum in Tunisia but also one of the oldest in the Arab world, where you can admire ancient artifacts, statues, and the richest collection of Roman mosaics in the world. A day at the fishing village of Sidi Bou Said includes the opportunity to look around a typical house converted into a museum. A holiday in Tunis is not complete without trying the Medina - the typical market. Bargain well and you will be sure to take home a nice souvenir of your vacation here.
