- Kerkouane: discovered only in 1952, the site of Kerkouane (at 80Km from Hammamet) would have been colonized by the Phoenicians from the 6th century BC, long before the foundation of Carthage. A fishing and dyers' village, it was razed by the Romans during the Third Punic War and was never rebuilt, so the original plan of the Punic town was kept intact. The city was laid out in the shape of a horseshoe and surrounded by a double belt of walls with two gates. A small museum next to the excavation site illustrates the history of Kerkouane and the archaeological work that has been carried out since 1966.
- Kelibia: One of the best day trips to the departure from Hammamet (75Km) for history buffs is the small town of Kelibia, which is crowned by a fortress on a 150-meter rock that dominates the town. Originally built by the Byzantines, Kelibia Fortress was expanded and strengthened under the Hafsid dynasty. The thick walls of the fortress have been perfectly preserved and if you climb the bastions you will be rewarded with magnificent views of the Mediterranean.
