The coastal city of Hammamet, famous for its fine sandy beaches and turquoise waters, is particularly frequented by the jet-set crowd. Its surprising wealth of shops and a wide range of restaurants and its strict zoning prohibiting the mega-resorts that scar so many Mediterranean destinations have kept Hammamet popular with tourists looking to escape the overblown traditional resort towns. As a matter of fact, it is located on the fertile Cap Bon Peninsula, about 40 miles south of Tunis, the bayfront beauty is surrounded by verdant hills and citrus groves as well as its towering fort and Medina walls. Believe it or not, Hammamet is a Tunisian gem that has consistently grown in popularity over the years.
