3/3. Pirates and Romans - Tunisia to Libya
The Tunisian island of Djerba was once famous for its pirates, though now there are only a few imitation galleons taking tourists out for barbecues and bathing.
And across the border in Libya, tourism is gradually being encouraged. Only a few years ago it was a crime for
Libyans to talk to foreigners, but now the people of Tripoli are keen to talk, and visitors are being drawn back to the incredible Roman cities that are still being uncovered on the Mediterranean. Chris Stewart concludes his journey along the coast of northern Africa. Producer Sarah Jane Hall
