Story and photos © Barb & Ron Kroll In what country will you find bucolic scenery, colourful markets, ancient Roman cities adorned with mosaics and a well-preserved amphitheatre that rivals Rome’s Colosseum? No, the answer isn’t Italy. It’s Tunisia, a North African country that’s 600 kilometres south of Rome by air. For additional enticement, add delicious cuisine, photogenic blue-and-white villages, a drivethrough lakebed filled with glittering salt and mirages, date palm-studded oases and deserts inhabited by nomads and their camels. Such diversity is rare in a country that’s slightly smaller than Florida. The key to its discovery lies in knowing where to go and what to see.
