Have you bought all the spices in Sfax markets, seen all the sights of Medina, visited all the museums and fortresses, prayed in all the mosques of the city, made friends with the locals, listened to some interesting stories during a tea-table talk, and even remembered to check into a hotel? Then you probably need a break to process all the information received, enjoy it, relax and reboot for new experiences. For this purpose, there are the Kerkennah Islands in Sfax. Locals believe that it was here that the nymph Calypso captured Odysseus. He didn't seem to object, though.

Pack a swimsuit and a desire to relax on the white sandy beach in a travel bag, hop on a ferry and go to one of the islands of the Kerkennah archipelago. Forget about gadgets and other attributes of the busy world. On the Kerkennah Islands, life has stopped since ancient times. There are almost no hotels there, and local fishermen fish using palm branches.

You can start sunbathing and enjoy your beach holiday almost everywhere. The islands are one large, endless beach interrupted by the Mediterranean sea. By the way, it is very friendly there. Almost a hundred meters from the shore, the depth is knee-deep. In between sunbathing and swimming, rent a bike and take a ride around the island for your pleasure.

The main attractions of the Kerkennah Islands are the beach, the sea, nature. Besides, there are other interesting places. Walking around the islands, you can come upon the ruins of ancient fortresses. These are the forgotten ruins of the ancient Roman fortress of Hissar. It was built by the Spaniards in the 16th century.

If you haven't tried the national cuisine of Tunisia yet, there is a chance to catch up on the Kerkennah Islands. The freshest seafood with lemon juice and the simplest side dish or just vegetables.

After spending a few hours in the archipelago, you will agree to remain in captivity on these islands and relax on the white sand.
