The island of light in Tunisia
Djerba, a Tunisian island in the Gulf of Gabès, is nicknamed the Island of Calypso in Greek mythology. Its fine sandy beaches, white medinas, the La Ghriba synagogue (the oldest in Africa), its thousand-year-old olive groves and its Berber architecture make it an authentic, sun-drenched destination just two and a half hours from Paris.
