Leaving Sicily behind, the crossing to Tunisia takes you across open water to Africa's Mediterranean coast, with Tunis's skyline emerging after several hours at sea. Once docked, the medina's souks and the Bardo Museum's Roman mosaics are essential stops, while the ruins of Carthage sit right on the coast a short drive from the city — a striking contrast to Sicily's own Greek and Roman remains just left behind. El Djem's Roman amphitheatre, one of the best-preserved in the world, is a worthwhile day trip further south for history enthusiasts.
