Then we arrive in the city of Essaouira, located on the Atlantic coast. It is a world-famous old Portuguese city that reminds us of old Bodrum. Declared a “World Heritage” site by UNESCO, the city is not only a fishing port on the Atlantic coast and a seaside town where art and culture intertwine, but has also served as the setting for many productions such as Orson Welles’ Othello and, more recently, the highly watched series Game of Thrones. The city’s fortress, fishing harbor, and Medina, built inspired by ancient Roman cities, are among the places to see. You can explore the city among its narrow maze-like streets and enjoy shopping.
