Chefchaouen is most famously known as the Blue City. It is one of the most Instagrammable places in Morocco and is full of cute shops, friendly locals, and winding blue alleyways. Before getting your perfect ‘Gram shot in Chefchaouen you need to know a few things about the blue pearl. How to get to Chefchaouen Chefchaouen is accessible by bus from both Tangier and Fes.

Instead, you can hop on the booze cruise formally known to the locals as the Key West Express for a short boat ride to the relaxation station American Isles. Once there it’s all Margaritaville, sunshine, and bikinis. Watch my video of the Florida…
