To do in Bejaia

The Casbah of Bejaia

Like many cities in Algeria, Bejaia has its Casbah. This citadel of medieval times has an original architecture, with its wall of red stones cleverly arranged and part of the Casbah has now been converted into a library that will delight both the historian and the visitor.

Kefrida Waterfalls

Located on a mountain pass between two peaks, these waterfalls, the highest of which rises to 50 meters, are well worth a visit. About thirty kilometers from the city of Bejaia, this place out of time allows a real change of scenery. The majestic trees and cool water will offer you an alternative to the warm seaside beaches.

Gouraya National Park

Natural park with wild and preserved nature, this site classified by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve is an enchantment for its visitors. Beaches of fine sand, crystalline seas and endemic species - like monkeys in freedom - make it a paradisiacal place. A must for nature lovers.
