Skanes Skanes is a resort with a beautiful and endless sandy beach is a brilliant holiday place, particularly popular with British holidaymakers. It is well known as a tourist Mecca, found on a modern marina and a revamped Medina packed with variety of souvenir shops and restaurants. Even its ancient Ribat (fort) has been rebuilt from scratch and glamorized, and today is used for the setting for several movies like Monty Python's Life of Brian. The new gilt on Monastir may seem a bit false, but underneath this historic city are the the remains of an ancient town known as Tunisia's holiest place. The coastline around Skanes offers all types of water sports that will keep you entertained. And those who need a break from the beach and sun will find plenty of interest in exploring the 8th-century Ribat, in Monastir, which has an interesting museum containing a collection of ancient Islamic pottery and other artifacts. |

Skanes, Tunisia Holiday Review - Don't wander off
Submitted by: simone
Date of travel: 10-December-2006
My adventure holiday to Skanes was anything but an adventure. The hotel was great and the beach was absolutely heaven but apart from the entertainment and facilities that the hotel provides there was nothing else to do outside the resort. If you like to wander around to get a feel of the local area like I do then you will be disappointed in Skanes as there is nothing to see. Luckily there are excursions that you can take to the nearby for a price of course. On the whole if you just like to stay within the resort and enjoy a spot of tanning on the beach and some light entertainment then Skanes is ideal but, if you are looking for a bit more adventure like I was than maybe on of the other places like Hammamet would be more suitable.

Skanes is a beautiful resort with a wonderful golden beach and plenty of clear blue water and sunshine. Although Skanes is a great resort with everything you might want from a sunny resort, it lacks the Tunisian feel to it you could quite easily forget that you are in Tunisia. You will have to venture out further if you want to get a feel for the country and experience how life is like in Tunisia but Skanes is brilliant if you just want a sunny beach holiday.
