This sundrenched country's filled with ancient cities, lively bazaars, caf�s and, best of all, temperatures that hover in the low teens to twenties in winter. And, since we're flying into the Enfidha Airport from summer 2011, you'll be chilling out in Hammamet, Yasmine Hammamet and Port El Kantaoui sooner. � Bizerte Approx scale: 100km Port El Kantaoui Cosmopolitan with a capital C, this resort's got glamour, golf and golden beaches. Here, there are hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops and a snazzy marina. And, with nightclubs and watersports laid-on, there's something for everyone. Hammamet Hammamet's all about beaches, haggling and beachfront dining. You can explore the ancient fort, bag bargain carpets and pottery in the medina and enjoy the sandy beaches. And at night, why not make the most of the resort's lively atmosphere and let your hair down. Yasmine Hammamet Named after the jasmine flower, Yasmine Hammamet is just south of Hammamet and has brilliant beaches and a modern medina, buzzing with activity. There are modern hotels, boutiques, restaurants, caf�s, theatres and museums, as well as the fun attractions of Carthage Land and Blue Ice, the only ice rink in the country. Skanes Skanes is the spot for a chilled, beach-based holiday. Here, the nightlife's hotel-based, water-based activities are laid-on and bargain hunters can pick between the medina and modern shopping centres. Plus, golfers can swing to their heart's content at the two local courses. Sousse A fast-developing resort with a wide stretch of golden sand, Sousse combines a traditional Tunisian city with a beach. Wandering around its impressive walled medina, with tiny streets like rabbits' warrens, is sure to be an experience you'll remember. EXPLORE YOUR DESTINATION Here's a little taste of what's on offer.

Tunisian Desert Explorer Whether you want to stop by the Troglodyte hotel, which was used as a Star Wars film set, or wander in the sandaled footsteps of a Roman centurion, there's a two-day safari for you. Whichever you choose, you'll see pretty oasis villages and the Sahara Desert's golden dunes. Bedouin Feast A touch of the exotic, get ready to tuck into a delicious Bedouin feast, complete with fakirs (magicians), belly dancers, musicians and, of course, couscous. Golf Whether you fancy yourself the next Tiger Woods or just enjoy the companionship of the green, Tunisia's a great spot for golf. Not only does the yearly average 300 days of sunshine make rain delays unlikely, but there are loads of courses to choose from. � Cap Bon Tunis � Dougga � Nabeul � Hammamet �Yasmine Hammamet Algeria Enfidha� Kairouan � � Port El Kantaoui Sousse � Skanes � Tunisia � Monastir �Mahdia �El Jem � Sfax Mediterranean Sea Djerba 150 Visit shops nationwide or click firstchoice.co.uk/tunisia
