More information on Calanques Marseille-Cassis

Departing from the Vieux-Port, Icard Maritime partnered with Marseille Tourism Board to organize guided tours of the bay and its series of rocky, fjord-like inlets called calanques. Cruisers take visitors on a non-stop two-hour tour from Marseille to Cassis, past a dozen small islands including Morgiou (renowned for its underwater Cosquer Cave featuring some of the world's oldest prehistoric cave paintings and engravings). Get close to imposing, steep limestone cliffs that date as far back as the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Groups can stop off in the quaint old fishing port of Cassis. Average cost: EUR15.
