Port El Kantaoui is a popular spot for tourist. To be precise, this town (in Tunisia) is built only for tourism. I’ve never been there, but from the photo, it looks like a nice and warm place to spend the holiday. People can stay in the decent hotels (there are a lot of them, especially near the marina — which is also a good place to enjoy the sunset) and eat some food in the restaurants or cafe. Regarding restaurant, they offer a mix of Tunisian style and European style food. Prices are high compared to the rest of Tunisia, but not bad compared to Europe.

For spending the whole day, be sure to take the tour to the Roman Ruins of Dougga, make a visit to Friguia Park — Tunisia’s first wild-life animal park –, or travel south on a two day desert safari taking in El Djem and Kairouan.
