by jdconinck

Farwa Island was very nice. It's close to the border with Tunesia, and you need to hire a boat to get there. The Roman Villa Salin is defintely a must although an Italian archeology team was working there, and it took some persuasion to let us see it. Unique fresco's and mosaiques.The mosaic show here was at the Qasr Lybia, as we were not allowed to photograph the ones in Villa Salin.

It´s a far way south, but the Akakus mountains near the algerian border are certainly worth the way. Apart from the gorgeous landscape you can find prehistoric rock carvings. Access to the area is forbidden without a local guide - you can normally find somebody in nearby Ghat. Ghat is also a good place if you are interested in Tuareg blacksmith artisans, and most of the guides are Tuareg as well.

cafes

throughout the city; there are many stand-up cafes that brew a nice espresso or capuccino for USD 0.40, I tried maybe 10 different places; all were fairly nice
