What works well

  • No zig-zagging: Day 1 focuses on the Marina and Oufella, Day 2 on inland souks and local dining, and Day 3 on the southern artisanal quarter and beachfront.
  • Realistic travel buffers relying on cheap, metered petits taxis with clear expectations set around fare negotiation.
  • High dining fidelity, pairing seaside seafood classics with intimate regional Moroccan tagines.

What we would improve

  • Medina Polizzi (Day 3) is a modern artisanal reconstruction built in 1992 rather than an ancient medieval core; setting clear expectations avoids disappointment.
  • Ocean swimming is dependent on Atlantic swells; afternoon beach time prioritizes lounging and promenade walking if red flags fly.
