Port El Kantaoui flights and travel guide

Port El Kantaoui was built out of thin air, like a film set, in the late 1970s. The aim? To create a high-end resort beside a beautiful stretch of beach on the Tunisian coast. The result? A charming resort town with cobble-stoned streets and snow-white Tunisian-style buildings that stand out against the brilliant blue skies. Book a cheap flight to Tunisia to revel in the sun and enjoy the attractions of this popular resort. 

Port El Kantaoui is centred around a busy marina that is studded with shops and restaurants. With space for more than 300 vessels, it is a favoured mooring place for millionaire yachtsmen. 

Relaxed and family-friendly, Port El Kantaoui has become a firm favourite of UK holidaymakers over the past three decades.
