Benghazi:

Benghazi is Libya’s second largest city and one of the most populous in the country. The city is situated on the country’s northern coast off the Mediterranean to the east of Tripoli. The city got its name from “Sidi Ghazi” a key figure in the founding of Benghazi.

The area around Benghazi has been settled for centuries and it is in the outskirts of the city that the ancient Greek city of Berenice was founded around 446 BCE. The ruins of this historic city are a key attraction for visitors to Benghazi. Another interesting place to visit from Benghazi is the ancient city of Cyrene. The city was the first of the Greek cities to be founded in the region and although now mostly in ruins, it provides an insight into ancient Greek civilization.

Benghazi can be reached by road from Tripoli, though the city is also served by the Benina International Airport. The airport caters for regular flights from Tripoli and other African cities.
