Béjaïa — Historic City by the Sea (Day Trip)

Overview

Béjaïa is where the green Djurdjura mountains drop straight into a deep-blue Mediterranean. In a day from Algiers you visit its historic fortress and museum, drive the dramatic Cap Carbon corniche above the cliffs, and unwind on the sand at Les Aiguades, with a traditional lunch by the water. It is the easiest way to taste the Kabyle coast — history, scenery and sea in one relaxed loop.
