Next, head to Hammamet for a guided tour of the Medina, offering stunning views of the sea from its rooftops. Discover the villa of George Sebastian, an architectural gem built in pure Arabo-Andalusian style during the 1920s. Formerly the residence of the Romanian artist G. Sebastian and his wealthy American wife, the villa boasts a picturesque setting facing the sea, surrounded by a lush park, rare trees, and a thriving orchard.
Enjoy some leisure time for lunch in Yasmine Hammamet, with your guide offering recommendations. After lunch, take a leisurely stroll around Hammamet harbor before concluding the tour and returning to your place of residence.

We had a fantastic day exploring the rich history and vibrant pottery scene that the region has to offer. The scenic views from the hills really took our breath away, especially during our leisurely lunch break where we could soak it all in. One moment that stood out was watching artisans craft beautiful ceramics; their skill and passion were truly inspiring. The transportation was comfortable, making the transitions between sites smooth and enjoyable. My only suggestion would be to allow a bit more time for the pottery workshops, as we could have easily spent hours there learning from the masters. Overall, it was a memorable experience that perfectly balanced culture and relaxation.
