Highlights
Haggling skills at the ready for the souks and shops in these two charming seaside towns. Contrast the quiet village streets of Hergla with the vibrant medina of Sousse. Classic Tunisian crafts you'll see include colourful Kairouan rugs, embroidered textiles, copper lamps, leather slippers and olive wood pieces. We'll begin with a stroll around the whitewashed village of Hergla, sitting pretty on top of the coastal cliffs. It's a charming place where the blue of the windows and doors echoes the sea below. Wander the lanes to see the old mosque and watch the basket weavers at work. Maybe you'll catch the fishing boats coming back to harbour with their catch. Oozing old-world Tunisian character, Sousse medina's web of lanes are bursting with activity. As well as the main market at Bab Jadid, don't miss Bab il Gharbi, a great area for shopping, watching local craftsmen, trying street food, or stopping at a café.

Itinerary
We’ll kick off your morning of exploration at the white-washed, clifftop town of Hergla. It’s known for raffia artisans - who weave all kinds of designs out of this dried plant - as well as being the site of ancient Horrea Coelia during the Roman period.
Then, you’ll swap to Sousse. Once you arrive, you’ll head into its maze of a medina, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its fine Arab architecture, unchanged for centuries.

About Monastir
Monastir is a seaside town on Tunisia's Sahel coast, with a fortified ribat on the shore, a golden-domed mausoleum and long beaches.
Monastir sits on a headland on the Sahel coast of Tunisia, in the Gulf of Hammamet, with a marina and a sandy shoreline. The Ribat, a fortress-monastery built from the eighth century, stands at the water's edge, and visitors climb its watchtower for views along the coast. It houses a museum of Islamic art and has served as a film location. Nearby stands the ninth-century Great Mosque.
