The eastern coast of Tunisia, which is home to Sousse, Skanes and Hammamet, is only a stone’s throw from Italy, which gives the resorts their Mediterranean flavour. Skanes has a seemingly, never-ending stretch of beach that is guarded by modern built hotels and the golden sands that encircle Sousse are always popular with visitors.

In true Mediterranean style the beaches are lapped by clear, warm waters and decorated with colourful sun-loungers and parasols to relax on during a cheap holiday in Tunisia. If this exudes everything you would expect from a modern holiday in Tunisia then the views will belie its African heritage. White-washed buildings are nestled in amongst the ancient fortifications and ports, particularly in Sousse.

For a more up-market cheap holiday in Tunisia, the resort of Hammamet Yasmine has a lavish blend of swanky restaurants that look out over the golden beach. From its central location in Tunisia, you can enjoy some excellent views out across the Mediterranean. Plus, Port El Kantaoui is the perfect place to relax on a cheap package holiday in Tunisia
