Sunbathing, al fresco dining and late-night discos are a way of life in Hammamet, the Tunisian Saint Tropez. Located on the fertile Cap Bon Peninsula, about 40 miles south of Tunis, the bayfront resort is surrounded by verdant hills and citrus groves. When not basking on Hammamet Beach, browse the markets for local pottery or wander through the medina (old city), with walls that date to 1500. Summer brings festival fever to the city with a plethora of music and theatrical offerings.
