The tour starts where the sea scents the air and the city’s rhythm quickens — at Gran Socco, stalls spilling citrus and spices onto sun-warmed crates. You move through narrow alleys, the sounds of vendors and clinking teapots guiding you toward Petit Socco’s shady square, then into the medina where ovens puff and fishmongers call from the waterfront.
