Menorca
Smaller and quieter than its neighbor Mallorca , Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic islands. Situated just 34 km / 21 miles from Mallorca , the island has many family-friendly rental resorts and almost as many beaches as Mallorca and Ibiza combined.

Malta
The Maltese Islands lie in the centre of the Mediterranean. The archipelago is made up of mainland Malta, Gozo, Comino, and Cominotto.

Tunisia
Tunisia's list of visitor attractions would do justice to a country twice its size. From the stone-age settlements near the oasis at Kebili to the space-age sets of Star Wars (parts of which were filmed at Matmata), its lush-to-lunar landscapes have seen more action than the New World nations combined. Spend a few days here and you'll agree: daydreaming at the famous Roman ruins of Carth..
