- El Haouaria cliffs and Ras Taguermess — jagged limestone cliffs that drop straight into the Med, sea caves you can scramble down to, and a real chance to see migratory raptors and seabirds up close. The exposure and raw rock make it feel more like a wild coastal trek than a manicured trail.
- Kerkouane Punic City (archaeological site) — one of the few Punic towns left largely untouched by Roman rebuilding. Walking among its planned streets, mosaics and coastal remains gives the hike a rare cultural punch: history literally steps up out of the scrubland beside the sea.

- Korbous thermal springs and gorges — narrow rocky gorges that funnel into tiny coves with warm mineral pools. It’s a classic reward-after-effort spot: hike through scrub and cliffs, then ease aching legs in natural baths and small, old spa houses run by locals.
- Kélibia Fortress and panoramic headlands — a compact, hilltop fortress with sweeping views over the Gulf of Hammamet and long beaches below. It’s a great place to time sunrise or sunset, watch fishing boats, and spot the change from agricultural plain to wild coast in a single glance.
- Terraced citrus orchards and coastal village lanes — the scent of orange blossom in spring, low stone walls, olive trees and tiny villages clinging to the shoreline. These pastoral stretches turn the hike into a sensory route: food stalls, local life, and endless sea views threaded through orchards.
