 Plan of the Monastir MarinaClick for larger view | |
The marina is part of a real estate complex and it is a hub of activity. They do not accept credit cards, only cash.
This is a port of entry and the authorities will meet your boat. If you are entering Tunisia you will be directed to first go side-to near the Customs. There will be many forms to fill-in but the officials are polite and reasonably friendly.
Warning: The WC/Showers (sanitaires) are anything but sanitary. They are also locked at night. You are better off using the public WC in the shopping complex.
