Day trip to The Picturesque Fishing Port of Cassis

Cassis is a picturesque little seaport established by Romans in 1st century BC, snuggled between the steep cliffs the Calanques and Cap Canaille.

With its pastel colored houses, narrow streets, a perfect little beach and quai lined with cafes and restaurants, Cassis is today a popular tourist destination. Stroll up the hill and check lovely little shops selling local fine linens and other artisanal creations.

Sit at the café at the quai and watch the fine yachts and much smaller fishing boats in the port, or people strolling by. The surrounding hills are covered in rows of ancient vines producing the famous wines of the region.
