HarmOKnee Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 we went to port el kantaoui,if you have teenage daughters or are worried about getting mugged then i would stay well clear. I wasn't very keen on Tunisia, I dislike being chased through the market by people desperate to sell you something just because you glanced at their stall in a market. It's the same everywhere, not just Tunisia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anywebsite Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Tunisia is nice, but you can get hassled a bit in the markets, over-enthusiastic traders & pick pockets. It's a few years since I went. Those foreign office warnings shouldn't worry you, any trouble happened a year ago, the warnings are still there in case it flares up again, but it doesn't look likely now. I preferred Turkey & it's a similar price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that it's a lot more expensive than Tunisia now though - prices are similar if not more expensive than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this in Goa. They cant seem to understand and seem flabbergasted that you dont want to part with any cash for (eg) a crap wooden statue that you neither want nor need or would even take if they were giving them away. Ruined the holiday for me, as going out was just so much hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
