At a Glance

In the northwest, Tunisia turns green. Tabarka, a small fishing port known for its coral, sits below a 16th-century Genoese fort, and the coast breaks into needles of rock.

Higher up in the Kroumirie mountains, Aïn Draham is surrounded by cork oak forests: a cool breath away from the coast, with its tiled roofs.

Highlights

  • The Genoese fort and harbor of Tabarka
  • Les Aiguilles, the rock needles by the sea
  • The cork oak forests of the Kroumirie
  • The mountain village of Aïn Draham
