You can admire the calanques both by getting there by land and by boat. For those who want a sea option to get acquainted with the Calanques of Marseille - in the Old Port, many sightseeing boats depart from the pier. We took a 3-hour option for 28 euros (price 2013)

What are Calanques? These are unusual fjords of the Mediterranean Sea, characteristic of the French southeastern geological formation. Simply put, these are rocky limestone cliffs cut by bays. Some of them reach a length of 20 km and a width of 4 km. The most beautiful is Sormiou.

The ship enters the bays, turns off the engine and slowly defiles along the next Calanque. Silence. White Calanques against the blue sky and the azure sea. Can the eye desire a more perfect picture? A state of complete relaxation and happiness.. .
