Food and Local Exploration

Dining in Hammamet is a relaxed affair. While your resort will likely offer a variety of international and local buffet options, there is great pleasure to be found in exploring the local town.

It is the perfect way to spend an afternoon before heading back to the coast for a sunset walk.

Hammamet is a fantastic year-round destination, though most British travellers tend to visit between April and October to make the most of the warm, dry weather. It is particularly popular with couples looking for a romantic retreat and families who want a stress-free holiday with everything taken care of by their tour operator.
