• The port of Sète can get quite busy during the high season, so make sure you arrive at least 60 min in advance, particularly if you are traveling with a vehicle.
• Alternatively, you can take the ferry from Sète to Nador and explore the beautiful coastal city in the northern part of Morocco.
• The Mediterranean can get choppy, so if you are sensitive to the waves, consider taking seasickness medication for the trip. As always, you can discuss your options with your pharmacist or doctor.
• The ferries travel overnight, so we highly recommend booking a cabin well in advance, as they often sell out.
