Salakta is a small Tunisian village situated by the sea. The name is derived from Latin Sullecthum, meaning the selected place.

Salakta has been occupied or ruled by many civilisations, including the Phoenicians, Byzantines, Romans, and Muslim Oubéidines.

The attractions include a beach, catacombs, an ancient cemetery and a museum.

Though not an established name in Tunisian tourism, Salakta is nevertheless one of the oldest historical sites in the country. Most of this is now under sea, unfortunately.

It is in Salakta that the mosaics "Lion" (with huge proportions, and which is displayed in the National Museum of Bardo)was found.

Its population swells from few hundreds to few thousands in summer when most of its people come back from Europe or from other Tunisian regions in order to spend summer.

And they are right to do so, because Salakta boasts of one on the finest beaches in the country.

Other cities have their hotels and discos, but Salakta has its incomparable beach.

Sorry for you if you don't find hotels nor even restaurants. Because Salakta is only for the "Salaktis", as it is often said.

The kindness of its people and the charm of its small cafes by the sea are worth the visit.
