Garie Beach

Relaxing beach holiday + access to culture/history in Tunisia?

My boyfriend and I are planning a holiday in Tunisia in October, but we aren't sure where to go. We would need to be near a beach - preferably not too touristy (went to a resort in Greece last year and hated it!). Just nice and relaxing. However, we'd also like to be in a location where you have access to a nearby town, city, or historical/cultural locations, as we like to get out and about a bit. Can anyone recommend where to go please? :) Thanks!

1. How about hammamet? Yasmine hammamet is Quieter but. It is Beautiful in hammamet. There is lovely beaches great hotels and in october its the end of high season so shouldnt be full with tourists. You have nebul and sidi bou saiid near by with a short drive away on a luage or bus even hire a car. Theres The Capital of Tunis which is so beautiful and full of history in the buildings and full of old culture. a short drive in the car you can visit The Town of zaghouan it has so much to look at if you like scenery and an old mosque on top of the mountain overloooking stunning veiws.
2. you should try skanes theres about 5/6 hotels right on the beach all do great all inclusive deals and you are well away from all the main nightlife you just have the hotel entertainments you will be about 15 mins taxi drive from monastair and sousse and about half hour from port el kantoui i have stayed in the thallassa villagein skanes 3 times and am going back in april 2010 for 2 weeks
