This spectacular building, which is located in the village of Gastouri, was originally built in 1890 as a summer retreat for the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, also known as Sisi. It boasts several beautiful Greek sculptures and a wonderful garden, as well as spectacular terrace views.

Situated in the North East corner of the island, Old Perithia is an abandoned village steeped in history, dating back to the 14th century. Once home to a vibrant farming community, this charming village offers an inviting space for exploration, with its medieval stone houses and churches. It’s also a great place to unwind and savour the moment, relishing a delightful drink at one of the local tavernas.

Jemaa el-Fna, the vibrant epicentre of Marrakesh's medina, is a riot of colours, sounds and scents, especially at sunset. Though the square has transitioned from its roots as a daily food market for mountain traders, its hustle and energy remain palpable. During the day, vendors offer refreshing fruit juices, but it's at dusk when the place truly transforms. Street theatre, or 'halqa,' has been a mainstay here since the 11th century, and the tradition continues in modern times. As the sun dips below the horizon, food stalls magically unfold, adding tantalising aromas to the air. Musicians tune their instruments, snake charmers enchant both serpents and tourists, and the spectacle crescendos into a nightly celebration of Marrakeshi life and culture.
