Chefchaouen

also known as Chaouen, is a must see in Morocco. Not only does this mountain village boast a picturesque medina, it’s set in striking surrounds. White-wash alternates with blue. Narrow lanes twist and turn. Twin summits, Meggou and Tisouka, tower above. What makes Chefchaouen an exceptional travel destination are its small size, relative safety, plentiful shopping and great hiking trails. The medina is easy to navigate and the weekly market and plentiful shops are an unpestered place to souvenir hunt.
