Café Chichkhan

Djerba


This huge cafe on the road between Midoun and Houmt Souk is beautifully decorated with swaths of kilims (woven rugs), tiled tables and pretty wooden furniture. It serves cakes and tea as well as coffee. Outside it's men-only, but inside you'll find happy mixed groups and couples.
