The Calanques of Marseille: what to do and when to go
Between sea and mountains, the Calanques of Marseille offer one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the South of France: crystal-clear turquoise water, dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden coves. A true Mediterranean paradise.
Stretching over 20 km between Marseille and Cassis, this protected national park is a must-see for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
What to do in the Calanques
- Hike with stunning views
- Take a boat trip along the coast
- Swim in secret coves
- Snorkel in exceptional waters
Plan your visit
Some calanques are only accessible on foot or by boat, so plan ahead and check access conditions, especially in summer.
The best time to go
Early morning or at sunset: fewer crowds and magical light.
