Pupput is about 45 minutes walk from Les orangers Hotel and not well sign-posted but I enjoyed visiting the remains of the Roman village, baths, and mosaics. You can still see the Roman ingenuity for controlling and diverting the flow of water, both clean and waste water. If you look closely along the excavations inner walls you can still see... More

You can access the site from the beach. There is very little to see except some mosaics. Entrance fee of 4 dinar is not value for money. You can see most of it from outside.

The site doesn't look much from the road, but when you walk across the grass it is amazing to see the foundations of the buildings. The mosaics are not as good as at the Bardo Museum, however they convey the skill and artistic designs fro the roman period.

After the ticket man tried to rip us off by charging 18 rather than 8 dinar (the price is on the ticket!) we were in a bit of a grump as we set off to explore this small site. However, a young man with a broom came over to greet us and asked if we would like a tour, as... More

Compared with all the other sites I have visited in Tunisia this is the least inspiring. I only went as if was only a taxi ride away, I had not been before and I did not want to travel long distances this time. The best local site to Hammamet is Oudina it should not be missed.

This is just a patch of scruyffy grass with a few Roman stones sticking out. Very poorly presented, like most of Tunisia's historical artifacts. Don't bother going.

The remains here are actually quite small, some mosaics and columns, right next to the sea. It is worth a look - completely deserted when we visited, we just scrambled around imagining what various buildings might have been. An interesting mosaic, with the reverse swastica sign. Definately woth a visit
