Tunisia

Tunisia is an ancient country. Its history is over three thousand years, and over the years a lot has happened here. The main sights of Tunisia, picturesque ruins scattered throughout the country, keep the memory of past times. If you like to immerse yourself in history and feel the depth of the centuries, touching the stones and getting acquainted with the old buildings, Tunisia will not disappoint you. Tunisia is not such a popular holiday destination among domestic travelers as Egypt. But the speed with which she "steps on the heels" of the usual African direction for the sale of tours, promises to soon rectify the situation. Despite the relatively small size of Tunisia, it has everything for a varied holiday. Access to the Mediterranean Sea provided the country with excellent beaches. Moreover, the best hotels located on the coastline, for the most part, offer packages including thalassotherapy.

Fans of active pastime can not only head off into water sports, but also go inland. It offers sightseeing tours of the Roman ruins and always with a visit to the ancient city of Carthage. Those interested can also go on a desert tour with a visit to indigenous settlements.

Travel to Madrid by yourself

August 04, 2019

After the autumn trip to Greece, my husband and I were left with annual Schengen visas and it would be unforgivable to not take advantage of such happiness. The main question is where to go? We in Europe have been to many places and now we are thinking about whether there is such a place where we would like to go again so that it would be interesting to walk and see something new. Thought thought and decided that we would go to Madrid. For the November holidays. Of course, on the agenda was the question of how to travel, through TA or independently. Long searches in the internet travel agencies that would offer a trip only to Madrid did not lead to success. As a rule, such tours were combined, i.e. with a mandatory visit to other countries and cities that we did not fit. In addition, a trip for 5 days did not offer almost any travel agent. There were offers for only five days for Madrid, but at a cost it exceeded our budget several times. Here it is worth paying attention to such a moment that traveling to Madrid on your own without the help of maintenance requires more thorough preparation. It is necessary to draw up a route, choose a hotel so that it is within easy reach of the historical center and the most important attractions. To do this, my husband and I spent a single evening at a laptop. Yes, this is painstaking work, but it's worth it, we chose exactly what we really wanted to see, and not what is included in the standard set of typical excursions with an accompanying guide.

In addition, we have already seen all such attractions on an extreme trip to Madrid with a guided tour and guide. All this applies to nutrition. We had lunch and dinner exactly where we wanted, and not where the guide usually leads his group, namely, to lured places. True, the travel time was almost a day, but we were not afraid of it, having been forced, there was a chance to meet Düsseldorf, we were not in this city yet. By the way, they arrived without delay, and also flew on time.
About nutrition. Then as you like. We, for example, had breakfast at the hotel. The breakfasts are very satisfying and did not feel like eating before lunch. And they dined in cafes or restaurants that were found by chance. We had dinner either in the room, having bought groceries in the supermarket, or in tapas bars (bar de tapas). At the same time, and local wine could try. We had no problems with food. Especially leaned on the jamon, which they sat down on the last trip and which in Russia seems to be no more. Arrived at Barajas Airport. This is a huge hall and to get to the right place, you need to stomp and stomp along the vast expanses of the air terminal. Enough time is required to get from the arrivals hall to the baggage claim area. The city from the Barajas airport is most convenient to travel by train in thirty minutes, which arrives at Atocha station. By the way, the station is amazing. It is not even a station, but a tropical greenhouse.

From the station to the hotel we arrived by taxi. In Madrid, it is very convenient to use a taxi, it’s enough to give up a passing car. But to find a taxi at the station, you need to go to a special parking lot, where all the free cars live. These are cars of white color with a red stripe on the door. We sit in the car, show a piece of paper with the address and go. First of all, we read reviews on the Internet that have already been to Madrid and select the places that have interested us. It turns out that we were almost never. Then we are determined by the map of Yandex, where everything planned is located and which transport is most convenient to get to. To do this, use the route plotter on the same Yandex map. If something is not clear, we do printouts from the map. Madrid is not an ordinary city, in it you do not feel like a tourist, as if you have always lived here. Why is that? There is no exact answer, you need to feel it, and for this you need to stay in Madrid for at least 3-4 days, go through the streets, preferably not on tourist ones.

If we just want to lie on the beach with all-inclusive meals, then we will be met by such countries as: Turkey, Tunisia, Bulgaria. To combine a beach holiday with excursion programs, then I recommend Georgia, Greece, Spain, Montenegro and Cyprus. Now we will tell about each country separately, but this does not mean that only in these parts you can fly to relax in the summer, we simply advise the most beloved and popular, and the choice is always yours.
Turkey
Probably there are no such tourists left who were not in the summer in this country. Turkey replaced the Southern Coast of Crimea, so it became a favorite for everyone.

For a high level of rest we offer to go to Belek. Also, do not forget about the Aegean coast with incredibly beautiful nature.

Undiscovered Tunisia
For me personally, Tunisia was just a discovery. Beautiful sandy beaches, with huge hotels in an unusual style, very good food. But, this country is famous for its amazing thalassotherapy and incredible history, and excursion programs. And of course, the world famous Sahara desert. Resorts for rest in the summer: Hammamet, Monastir, Sousse, Mahdia. Do not forget about the island of Djerba - which is the largest island off the coast of North Africa.

So, in Germany, France, Austria and England prices will be much higher and, accordingly, the rest in these countries will cost more.
