I arrived in Hammamet at the beginning of October 2021. I spent about a month there then headed to the US for a
contract. I returned in April 2022. I would have a hard time spending the
winter there. The Marina staff is great and there is a community of Europeans, but the town can be pretty miserable if you are active and looking for things to do. Hammamet was once a busy tourist town but it has suffered from failures and many of the big resorts are just ghosts of their former self. The town really needs a scrub and a coat of
paint. It is less expensive than the EU and it can be comfortable, but you may get bored.
