British newspaper The Independent has named Morocco as one of the “best destinations” for October holidays this year.
The paper highlighted Morocco for its mix of vibrant city life and serene coastal retreats. Travelers can experience the bustling souks and historic sites in Marrakech’s medina, and relax in the coastal town of Essaouira, less than two hours away.
Fleewinter offers a five-night package from Marrakech to Essaouira starting at $680 per person, which includes bed and breakfast accommodation and private transfers.
In Marrakech, visitors first explore the Medina, with its labyrinthine streets and rich cultural heritage. Then they take a day trip to the Atlas Mountains not far from the red city.
Then after a leisurely drive, they arrive in Essaouira, known for its laid-back atmosphere and Atlantic beaches.
This combination of city and coastal experiences allows travelers to enjoy the best of both worlds in Morocco.
Morocco’s weather is ideal in October, with pleasant temperatures and minimal crowds compared to the peak summer months.
This makes it a great time to explore the country’s diverse landscapes and rich history without the high summer prices.
Beyond Morocco, The Independent also recommends several other destinations for October getaways like France, Somerset’s Huish Barn in the UK, Malta’s Gozo Island, and other must-visit places.
