Known for its iconic blue-washed homes with red tiled roofs, the little town of Chefchouraen is a true desert gem. It’s about a 7-hour drive from Marrakech, but it was one of my favorite stops in Morocco and was absolutely worth the trek. Stay for at least two nights to really appreciate the peaceful and charming Chefchouaen vibes. The best way to do Chefchouaen is to not make plans, and spend your days getting lost within its windy maze of cobblestone streets, photographing the beautiful blue houses and adorable kittens, and dining under twinkly lights strung over quaint courtyards. You’ll almost feel like you’ve been transported to a small Italian village, but for the smells of tagine and the artisans selling Moroccan rugs and the fact that basically everything is blue. Catch sunset from a neighboring hill and watch the city begin to light up, house by house, as evening calls to prayer echo through the mountains. The lookout point at the Spanish Mosque is spectacular but also incredibly popular, so if you want more privacy just hike up or down the hill a bit to get away from the crowds. #awesomepic
