With its neighbour being Monastir, you will find the two blend into one easily although Skanes is a little more laid back. Surrounded by the pine and olive groves, it has attractive scenery that is easy to photograph.
Skanes is not just about sun bathing on a glorious beach, it has more to offer if you are looking for it. It has a new 18 hole golf course which is simply delightful and offers a wonderful game of golf.
The deceased leader of Tunisia, Bourguiba is laid to rest in a luxurious, mosque-like building in the cemetery at Monastir and another interesting place to learn about the history of Tunisia is at the museum of Monastir.
You can easily visit the Ribat which is particularly famous as it was a fortress built for warrior monks and is famous as it was used for some films, namely The Life of Brian and Life of Christ.
If you are not looking for sightseeing or activity, then spending time on the beach is complete R & R where you will have peace to read that book, or listen to some music through a personal player whilst soaking up the sun.
