Cap Bon
Cap Bon tour
This Cap Bon tour follows the peninsula north of Hammamet from coast to coast in one private day: the hilltop fortress of Kelibia, the cliffs and ancient quarries of El Haouaria, and the hot springs of Korbous that run straight into the sea. It is the day for landscapes rather than monuments.

The green peninsula, coast to coast
A Cap Bon tour by coach usually squeezes in a pottery shop or two. With your own driver you follow the coast instead: east to Kelibia, round the tip of the peninsula at El Haouaria, and back along the gulf of Tunis to Korbous. The times below are for a pickup in Hammamet.
Your Cap Bon tour, stop by stop
The loop runs clockwise, so you see the open Mediterranean in the morning and the gulf of Tunis in the afternoon light.

Stop 1
Kelibia
Kelibia's fortress sits on a rock some 150 metres above the town. It began as a Punic stronghold and was rebuilt by the Byzantines, the Spanish and the Ottomans, each leaving their walls.

Stop 2
El Haouaria
At the tip of the peninsula, the cliffs of El Haouaria hide caves that are in fact ancient quarries. Stone for Carthage was cut here and shipped across the gulf.

Korbous
The Romans already bathed at Korbous. Its springs are hot enough to steam, and at Ain el Atrous the water pours from the rock directly into the sea, where people sit in the warm current.

What the day costs
The price covers the car and your whole group, up to twelve people. It is lowest from Hammamet, the gateway to the peninsula. The sites are cheap or free: Kelibia's fortress has a small entry fee, and the springs and quarries cost nothing.

Tips and shopping
Good to know before you go
This is an outdoor day, so a little preparation helps.
Pack a swimsuit and a towel
The warm water at Ain el Atrous is the highlight for many people, and the beaches near Kelibia are some of the clearest in the country.
Wind on the headland
El Haouaria is exposed even in summer. A light layer makes the cliff walk more pleasant.
Lunch on fish
Kelibia and El Haouaria live from the sea. Grilled fish and brik are the obvious lunch, at prices well below the resorts.
The route from your hotel
From Hammamet it is about an hour to Kelibia. The loop then follows the coast round the peninsula and returns through Soliman.
Combine it with another day
Two routes that pair well with a day of coast and cliffs.
