Hammamet was very easy to get to from Tunis, I took their bus system and it took less than two hours to get there.  Upon arrival, I got into a taxi and watched a very dirty city pass by me.  The tourist areas though, near the hotels, are beautiful!  The beaches are gorgeous and the Mediterranean is more beautiful than it is in Southern Italy!  Beware all females of the casanova's on the beach, they will follow you like lost puupies.  I wore a fake wedding band and told them I was married and my husband was sleeping in the hotel, that got rid of them fairly quickly!  Apart from that, Hammamet is one of the most relaxing beach destinations I've ever been to!  Do make sure to go all inclusive though, otherwise the resorts will bleed you dry.
