Spend eight summer days in the Green Mountain, the lush region of north-eastern Libya where dense forests, open spaces and nature reserves offer a peaceful break far from city noise. The area is home to porcupines, ospreys, wild pigeons, deer and hyenas, and is dotted with historic villages and towns such as Shahat, Al Bayda and Sousse.
