Having read the last few reviews, it seems like most people got to enjoy the boat ride to Cassis and the view of the Calanques. So for something different, I shall shift the focus for those who are interested the sports/adventure side of it. We took the bus no.21 from Rond-Point du Prado to Luminy, which is probably the quickest... More

worth to go just for views. (Marseille from the sea and all those cliffs). you can buy tickets from Vieux Port (there is possibility to visit 3, 5 or 8 calanques, prices around £13,15,19 in May 2013)

Boat trips from either Marseille or Cassis. We went from Cassis. Booking building is a yellow prefab right at the head of the port - easy to find. Definitely worth 'doing' all 8 Calanques (you have the choice of 3, 5 or 8). Don't forget your camera. Commentary was in French, but we were given English printed guides which were... More

Then an early lunch at a restaurant in Cassis aided by a bottle of cassis wine ...... Or a baguette or two and cheese and wine (and... More

Lovely ride and beautiful sights but bumpy!! Be flexible because they do not like to plan ahead at the boat reservation booth.

Glad to see the area between Marseille and La Ciotat has gained the protection of National Park status. It's a unique ecosystem with remarkable rock formations.
