The menu includes mouth-watering foods such as grilled calamari with parsley, tomato and lemon, marine-style mussels and Quattro Formaggi Penne, at reasonable prices.

 

 

Holiday travelers must bring their cameras to Ichkeul National Park and Ichkeul Lake, located approximately 30 kilometers southwest. This freshwater lake, well stocked with fish, is unusual; it has both fresh and salt water. The marshland is an important area for a multitude of migrating birds that stop there.
