Takrouna
تكرونة
An ancient Berber village perched on a lone rock peak, with stone houses and a saint's tomb overlooking olive plains. Enjoy mint tea at a rooftop café.
Takrouna is a Berber village built on an isolated rock summit 200 metres high. Stone houses cling to the hillside, and a white saint's tomb stands at the top. The North African Campaign of World War II was fought here, and a military cemetery lies at the foot of the hill. From the summit you get a 360-degree view over the olive groves of the Enfidha plain and the sea beyond. The village has a small folk museum and rooftop cafés where you can experience Berber traditions. It is about 50 km from Hammamet.
