Tunisia's capital, Tunis, sits at the western end of Lake Tunis, opening to the sea at La Goulette, the port area and start of northward beach suburbs. Nearby are Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. Tunis is relaxed, relatively liberal, and a trendsetter in Tunisia. Westernization began under Ahmed Bey; in 1861 Tunisia proclaimed the Arab world's first constitution. The French-era ville nouvelle grew around Avenue Habib Bourguiba, linking to the medina.

Ringed by turquoise water and a rugged coast, Trapani is western Sicily's revived sailing hub, built on salt and tuna exports and now served by an international airport.

Italy's Amalfi Coast is famed for colourful cliffside villages, blue seas, coves, lemon groves, vineyards and dramatic mountains.

Once a powerful maritime republic, Amalfi's history is told at the Municipal Museum, including the 1343 tsunami.
