Sidi
Bou Said. Lovers' walk Sidi Bou said is one of those tourist traps, that
retains its charm no matter how many loud-talking tourists walk the
streets. Sidi Bou Said is really just the one main road, going up the
hill,
ending
in many fantastically situated cafes overlooking the Gulf of Tunis and
the marina of Sidi Bou Said. connected to this one streets are short
alleyways, some courtyards. Everything is well-kept with whitewashed
walls and blue doors, windows and intricate metalwork's.
Streets
have some vendors, selling handicrafts or sweets, but their business
seems to run well, and they keep a low profile, as they have understood
that keeping the atmosphere up, si the best way of marketing. The marina
is quite good, and walking around you pass a couple of yachts big as
houses.
The
stairs going down from the mountain where the village itself lies, goes
through green and luscious vegetation, but is sadly destroyed by litter.
The best thing to do here, though, is relaxing in one of the nice cafes.
OK on both, but even if nothing is cheap, value for money is
surprisingly Good. Use the TGM from Tunis.
