Djerba is a small Tunisian island full of places to visit, landscapes and history.
Djerba was Phoenician, Carthaginian and Roman. Despite being a mass tourism destination, which arrives willing for beaches, sun and good weather, not everything has been lost in terms of architecture, traditions and customs.
The currency is the Tunisian Dinar and 1 euro is worth about 3 dinars. There are ATM machines and easy exchange at the post office.
