The creator's experimental garden

On leaving Mellita international Airport, your first impression is that the Isle of Djerba is a veritable floating garden covered in hundreds of thousands of palm trees. Wander among the olive trees with their century-old trunks, stroll through this Eden-like orchard planted with figs, grenadines, carobs, apples and apricots. A magnificent shore-line runs as far as Zarzis.
The sand on the beaches is fine and whit. The sea is warm and crystal clear. Fish and crustaceans abound in these waters. You will also spot Menzels* dotted here and there among the palm trees. Although it is only a step away from Europe, there is no pollution in this little "Mediterranean Polynesia".
