Essaouira was the highlight of our 12 day Moroccan visit. We stayed there for 3 nights and 3.5 days, and could have stayed longer. It has the feel of Marrakech but much smaller and relaxed, with an intimate and funky character. We absolutely loved strolling through the tight and winding streets of the Medina. The restaurants here were plentiful as were the shops and endless photo opportunities. No hassle or haggling here, no pressure to buy, only smiles and genuine hospitality. It has the same sights and yes, aromas of Morocco, especially in and around the fish market. Essaouira is chill, safe at all hours, relaxed and very comfortable. Stroll the Medina, the fish market and the beach walk all the way until you see the seaside camels. You will not only leave a piece of your heart here but will also take memories to last a lifetime. Don’t forget to walk the ramparts, especially at sunset. Visit the Megaloft, Brotherhood coffee shop and my favorite, Beach and Friends. Over 30 countries travelled, one of my favorite towns for sure.
