Palermo to Tunis ferry

Thanks to the carriers (Grimaldi Lines) operating on the Palermo-Tunis route, you will have the opportunity to reach the capital of Tunisia starting from Sicily. Near Tunis, on the Byrsa hill, it is possible to admire the remains of the glorious Carthage, Rome's bitter enemy, definitively destroyed in 698.

The Tunisian port (located in the coastal town of La Goletta) is the most important in the country and among the main ones in the African continent and in the Mediterranean. On this sea leg, which originates from Salerno, Palermo represents an intermediate stop before the final stop at La Goletta.
