+6 photos
Some destinations captivate you at first glance, and Cassis is undoubtedly one of them. Your morning adventure to this charming locale begins in Aix-en-Provence, where you'll meet your friendly tour guide. From there, you'll embark on an unforgettable journey, taking in the panoramic view from Cape Canaille, Europe's highest maritime cliff, along the way.Upon arrival in Cassis, you'll have the opportunity to explore the old fishing port, brimming with colourful boats. If your visit coincides with a Wednesday or Friday, you'll also get to experience the local market.One of the highlights of your trip could be a one-hour cruise from Cassis. This optional excursion allows you to discover the calanques - limestone cliffs that plunge into the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, forming natural coves. These striking formations, reminiscent of Norwegian fjords, jut out into the sea, creating a truly spectacular sight (please note, the cruise ticket isn’t included). Your exploration of Cassis concludes with a leisurely drive back to Aix-en-Provence.
