I have been to Skanes twice, Sahara Beach Hotel. You can get to Monastir by noddy train, horsedrawn carriage or taxi and Sousse by taxi, agree the price before you get in. We have also gone by taxi to Port el Khantoui. Have a lovely holiday

Despite being an historical site, the mausoleum of the first president, Habib Bourghiba at Monastir is absolutely beautiful and as it's only just down the road from you well worth a visit. As Yvonne says, always 'negotiate' with taxi drivers - 'Ghali barcha' means 'too expensive'. :rofl You may like to take a trip on one of the pirate boats, which certainly go out from Sousse and PEK (not sure about Skanes). It will be cheaper to book direct rather than through your hotel. It is a half-day trip, with food and non-alcoholic drinks provided and they anchor up so you can fish or swim from the boat. Sometimes they also have entertainment on board. As always, the key word is 'negotiate' regarding price.

I would agree with Aslemma about a visit to the mausoleum of the first president, Habib Bourghiba, Monastir is nice for a visit and a wonder around.
