Lying only a half hour drive from Monastir Airport, Sousse is a lovely little town with everything to cater for everyone's needs. Hotels are spread along the main road of a resort which is fringed by the long and sandy beach. The edge of the resort is about a 40 minute walk from the town centre which is, as expected, usually bustling and busy. There are lots of the usual trinket shops where the obligatory haggling takes place. However, one refreshing surprise is the fixed price shops where, as you'd expect all prices are fixed and haggling is not an option. The shop is in the centre of the main square and is situated on four floors. It includes everything from videos, cassettes to ornaments and clothes. Admittedly, the fun of haggling is a bit missed, but for those who like to just go somewhere, buy something and know what the price is, the fixed price shop is for you. There are many bars and restaurants in the resort, but just be careful where you eat. In one or two, cleanliness is not top of the priority - just be sensible. The beach is wonderful with soft white sands, and clear cool water. There are naturally one or two beach sellers, but a polite "no thank you" will usually send them off peacefully. All-in-all, a wonderful resort suitable for people of all ages.

I hated Tunisia! I found the sellers who kept approaching me on the beach most annoying. Also, the food hygiene was appalling and my boyfriend and I were ill for two weeks. Your opinion has just reminded me what an awful holiday we had!
