Hello, I am going to Tunisia in a couple of weeks with my family and we will be staying in a hotel in Skanes which I believe is close to Monastir. Does anyone have any knowledge or advice about trips we could undertake from there? Having stayed in exactly the same hotel once before and stayed around Monastir/Sousse, we are eager to explore a lot further this time, but unfortunately a couple of members of the family can't be persuaded to stay anywhere else! Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi, In two weeks my friend and I are going to be staying in the Hotel Thalassa, Skanes, Monisir for a week. We're slightly concerned about getting hassled by blokes when going out and wondered if anyone has any experience/tips that might help us to avoid this. We've been told different things by different people so far, some say that as long as you cover up (don't draw too much attention) you get left alone, whilst others have said that women alone often get seriously sexually assaulted! Please advise if you can... Thankyou, Jess and Chantel

Travelling with my husband (he likes water sports and alcohol), my 17 year old daughter, she likes culture and not lying on the beach, my 14 year old daughter who loves the beach, the sun, horse riding and partying. Me I like anything but I am not a water babe. Out of curiosity, what is the minimum age for drinking ? I believe you cant buy chocolate, is this true ?
