“Carthage Is To Be Deleted”

Athens to Cairo

Overlooked by mass tourism, the Graeco-Roman sites of North Africa are among the most magnificent and well-preserved to be found anywhere in the Mediterranean. Visiting the spectacular temples and cities left by the Phoenicians, Greeks and, above all, Romans in Libya and Tunisia is the highlight of this itinerary. Few will forget the first time they set eyes on the Roman city of Leptis Magna or the Greek monuments at Cyrene.
