Explore the Old City

Written by the wayfaress

The atmosphere in Essaouira is not unlike Positano or Santorini, especially in its old city. Here you’ll find windy cobblestone streets lines with handicrafts shops, art galleries, and restaurants and cafes serving tasty international and local cuisine.

It’s the perfect place to pick up some souvenirs without the chaos and stress of big city medinas, to take a relaxed cooking class, or to enjoy drinks at a rooftop bar at sunset.
