By Anouk Zijlma, About.com Guide

A family vacation in Tunisia will suit every family looking for a bit of relaxation as well as adventure. Tunisia is very family-friendly, it's safe and there's lots to do, even for families with small children. There are troglodyte dwellings to explore, ancient amphitheaters, Star Wars sets still intact in the desert, beautiful Mediterranean beaches and fascinating bazaars.

If you can, avoid the peak months of summer unless you plan to spend all your time on the beach. Tunisia gets hot. The most popular beach resorts in Tunisia are well-known to Europeans and they include Hammamet, Sousse and the island of Djerba.
