Mediterranean Dolce Vita Cassis, Calanques Boat Ride & Wines

Endoume, Marseille



An exceptional day to discover the beauty and relaxing ambiance of the Mediterranean coast. No rush, no strict plan. I will adapt the itinerary to your mood & energy of the day.

Experience a guided tour from Marseille to Cassis featuring local appetizers and a boat trip to the Calanques.

This tour begins in Marseille with a visit to the Notre Dame de la Garde basilica, offering a 360° panoramic view of the city and sea. Alternatively, you can start directly in Cassis for more relaxation time in this chic village.

You will visit Le Cap Canaille, the highest cliff in Europe, where you can enjoy local appetizers and a glass of rosé wine from the guide’s village while overlooking the sea and Cassis port. A wine tasting at a local winery can be arranged instead of the appetizers, for an additional fee.

Afterward, you have free time to explore Cassis at your own pace. Options include shopping in charming boutiques, dining at local restaurants, visiting the beach, or taking a boat ride to visit the Calanques. The longer boat trip is recommended to see the most remarkable landscapes.
