Pick by what you want
🇮🇹 Choose Italy if
you want three cities in ten days, you care about food and museums, and you would rather take a train than a ferry.
🇲🇦 Choose Morocco if
you want somewhere that feels genuinely far away on a three hour flight from Europe, with mountains, desert and old cities in one trip.
