🇲🇦 Whilst walking around the medina, It’s well worth visiting Ben Youssef Madrasa. It looks like there is a long queue but this is usually the tour groups collecting at the entrance.

Inside you will see what was once a stunning historic Islamic school known for its intricate mosaics and beautiful traditional Moroccan architecture. Once home to generations of students, this remarkable place remains a timeless symbol of Morocco’s cultural heritage.

🌿 Le Jardin Secret

This is a hidden oasis in the heart of Marrakech, featuring lush gardens, elegant fountains and traditional Islamic garden design. It really is a peaceful and much needed escape from the busy streets of the medina!

Why not treat yourself to lunch at Terrasse des épices after! It’s well worth it 🙌

⭐️Marrakech rooftop bars⭐️

There are so many rooftop bars that are hidden above the busy streets of Marrakech. They are a very welcome treat that’s for sure! 🙌

🍸Dardar - the food here was amazing! Great views and it also has an inside section. The DJ was great, service fantastic and the views at sunset are spectacular!

🍸Terrasse des épices - one of my favourites! It felt special and is a very popular place! Food was great as was the service. Loved the hats on the tables to shade from the sun!

🍸La fontaine des épices - set over three floors. Very near the Jardin Secret. It had a good feel to it, more relaxed. We went during the day, but at night it lights up!!

🍸Kabana - we went twice, during the day and at night! Fab cocktails which are created in house, great views and music and I especially loved the toilets!

🍸Nobu Rooftop - wow what an experience! Great entertainment and loved the views, but it’s very busy. I would recommend going there for a drink then eating in the restaurant downstairs, which is what we did.

🍸El Fenn - inside this hotel is a great rooftop bar. It also had a restaurant which looked amazing. Great bar and cocktails, again very busy at sunset hour but lovely staff and plenty of tables do become free.

And one non-rooftop bar…

🍸Les Jardin Du Lotus - very calm and peaceful and a great place to stop for a drink or a meal. There is a stunning bar here. Very pretty and great toilets!

In Marrakech there are lots and lots of dinner shows and choosing the right one to go to can be a bit overwhelming! 😳 We opted for Safran by Koya and it didn’t disappoint!

The food was a mix of Moroccan and Mediterranean and there was plenty of choice. It also tasted really good!

The DJ was amazing and he played some great music, interacting with the crowd and performers.

The show consisted of oriental and belly dancers, live musicians including sax, violin and drums and the Gnawa Troupes.

❗️Top tip…you must book in advance and make sure you book a table for 9pm as you only get your table for two hours. The show starts at 9 ❗️

The only downside…it is very busy and they do pack you in. You will be asked to leave to make way for the next table. You can stand at the bar but that is also packed!

It is however a lot of fun and a great night out! 🙌

Wow…so much colour at Jardin Majorelle! And check those cacti out! 🌵🤣

Jardin Majorelle is well worth a visit and a calm escape from the crazy busy Marrakech city centre 🙏

Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé purchased the Jardin Majorelle to save it from destruction by property developers. This garden and the vibrant colours of Marrakech became a source of inspiration for YSL

The nearby Yves Saint Laurent museum is also worth visiting as you can see some of his iconic creations, sketches and the inspirations behind his work 📸 You can also get a fab coffee in the cafe!

Loved this whole experience!

Definitely put this one on your itinerary! 🙌

Marrakech is a city full of character 🇲🇦

From its vibrant colours (which I absolutely love), stunning architecture and rich culture to the bustling souks and winding streets of the Medina, which we got lost in on more than one occasion! 🤣

This day we walked around the Jewish quarter, visited the Bahia Palace and the historic ruins of El Badi Palace as well as the souks. If you were to choose one place…definitely opt for El Badi which is incredible! The Bahia Palace was very busy and somewhat underwhelming if I’m honest.

The streets are very busy and you will do well to stay clear of the constant stream of motorbikes! 🏍️ But above all of this craziness is the calm and serenity of the amazing rooftop bars and great places to eat. I will be letting you know where we went and giving you my recommendations later so watch this space! 🍸👀

That feeling when you’ve just walked 20km along the beach in the Sun ☀️🌊

What a day! It still feels like Summer…

Trying to start building my walking up again… and what a place to do it! Feel so lucky to be living by the sea 🙏

I love a boat day! 🌊⛵️

We used a company called NS Boats and I highly recommend them. They picked us up from the W Costa Navarino where we were staying and dropped us back in Pylos Marina where we had a gorgeous traditional Greek lunch.

We began our trip by heading to Voidokilia beach which is the most stunning horseshoe shaped beach located in Messina where we swam and snorkelled in the beautiful crystal water 🤿🐠

❗️FUN FACT❗️this is where the cyclops cave scene in The Odyssey was filmed! See my story….

We then went around Costa Navarino bay where we saw several historic war memorials which commemorate the 1827 battle of Navarino.

We also got to visit a cave and swim in a gorgeous cove only know to the locals which was stunning 😍

The whole trip was 4 hours and a real highlight of our holiday!

If you want to know more about this trip and where we ate lunch, then message me and I’ll give you all the details…
