Women's holidays in Tunisia in September: thalassotherapy

Due to the high quality, and in addition to the rather low prices, the African country has become the center of this type of wellness treatments. Almost every hotel has its own center, where the masters will make gommage, body wraps, massages, treatment with algae, color and sea water. Thalassotherapy is another reason to visit Tunisia in September. The reviews of travelers about the trip are the most enthusiastic: the appearance really improves after a course of procedures, excess weight disappears, the soul and body rest.
Travel cost
How much does a ticket cost? An important question for many people whose vacation falls in the fall. You can safely choose Tunisia in September: prices are slightly reduced compared to August. This is explained by the fact that the peak of the holiday season has passed, families with school-age children have already rested. Of course, you won’t be able to save much, because October and November remain comfortable for swimming and sunbathing. If in the last summer month a week of rest for one person will cost an average of $600, then in September this amount will decrease by $30-50. Stay in a five-star hotel with includedMeals will cost $700 or more. Buying a last-minute tour can cost a penny altogether, and a thirty percent discount is provided when booking a ticket early.
You can reduce costs by organizing the trip yourself, without the help of travel agencies. Housing will cost about 10 euros per week for one (if you rent a villa or cottage for several people). Even cheaper will be a room away from the beach and places of entertainment, with amenities in the yard and so on.
