Originally a fishing port Monastir is now a highly popular resort with beautiful beaches and a wonderful mix of the old and the new.
The town offers hints of it’s rich history with features such as ancient walls, a small medina and the Ribat, which has appeared in several international film productions.
The marina remains a great place to sit back, enjoy the scenery and watch daily life unfold. Wonderful for people watching.
The Ribat watchtower offers fantastic views out over town and beyond, and there is also a museum on the grounds.
