Wander to the vibrant fish market in five minutes. Discover artisan workshops (Argan oil, thuya wood) down hidden lanes. Savor fresh seafood at legendary grill spots steps away. Shop for handmade leather and ceramics in the bustling souks. Watch sunset from the 18th-century Skala fort walls (a seven-minute walk).
