Formerly a fishing port in central Tunisia, Monastir, now the Monastir Governate capital, enjoys the status of a popular beach resort. Also called Mistir, Greek for “monastery” or “hermit’s cell”, the city was built on Ruspina’s Punic-Roman ruins and is popular for its untouched Ribat of Monastir ruins, a fortress used to patrol and protect the city against attacks of hostile Byzantine ships. This is where the Jesus of Nazareth mini-series and Life of Brian by Monty Python were filmed during the 70s. Protected by the Ribat, Monastir features the most impressive golden shores and blue waters of its Marina, the Medina, lovely orchards and villages with a welcoming vibe. Just a three-hour flight away from most European cities, it’s one of the favorite beach destinations of Europeans. For cozy stays, Monastir offers bourgeois Airbnb vacation rentals, some of which we have listed below. Why not check them out and book them now?
