"The food Alkantara Thalasso is a separate conversation. All of the same taste, and if you are a gourmet, then this hotel will not suit you. The beach is spacious, a little dirty due to algae and mud on the shore, but every morning a tractor drives and collects them" Victoria S.
Reviews about the beaches and the sea in Djerba
There are good sandy beaches all along the coast. White fine sand and perfect rows of umbrellas await holidaymakers. The beaches are wide, so there is enough space for everyone. In the recreation areas, animators work, tourists go for water skiing, banana boat rides and parasailing.

Nuances of rest on Djerba in 2021
A popular resort in Tunisia is a smart low-cost alternative to Egypt and Turkey.To ensure that your 2021 holiday in Djerba does not disappoint, listen to the feedback from tourists.
There is a lot of sun on the island, so bring a high protection cream, a hat, and light, long-sleeved clothing. Cover exposed areas on day trips to avoid getting burned.
