[edit] By plane
There are 3 main airports in Tunisia, Monastir, Djerba and Tunis (Carthage). Monastir is to the South of the country and Tunis is to the north (in the capital). When you arrive into Monastir if you don't have a coach transfer booked be strong, there are lots of men waiting to take your trolley for you (and for this you will be charged!) say NO and hang on to all your belongings. We got a private taxi from Monastir to Hammamet which is between 1hour and an hour and a half and cost us 80TD. You can haggle if you have the energy and get this cost down.

[edit] Stay safe
Whilst in Tunisia young females should expect to receive a lot of attention especially if you are on your own. Blonde hair is a novelty to them and I in particular received a lot of unwanted hassle. Don't go anywhere on your own at night unless you are sure of the area and the people around you. A good word to learn is "la" which means no but they don't always take heed to this. Many Tunisians speak French and English so you should be understood okay. Some nightclubs especially in Tourist areas don't let local boys in without a female or a tourist so beware of men waiting outside bars and clubs looking to get in. I was fortunate to be around local friends a lot so if I was being bothered I always had someone to turn to and was never allowed to go anywhere on my own unless they knew where I was going and how long I would be. Don't let the minority few spoil a good time for you, be careful and be safe.
