La Ciotat: the sea, 45 minutes from the ship
For a shore excursion, give us your all-aboard time: the driver sets the departure time from the site with a margin for traffic and brings you back to the terminal in time.
For a short call, La Ciotat is a quieter alternative to Cassis, with long beaches and a genuine fishing port.
La Ciotat and the Route des Crêtes
The Route des Crêtes between Cassis and La Ciotat runs along the highest sea cliffs in France at Cap Canaille, with viewpoints over the bay of Cassis; it closes in strong wind or high fire risk. With a driver at your disposal, a call can combine Cassis, the Route des Crêtes and La Ciotat. In La Ciotat, the Old Port, the Eden Theatre and the Figuerolles cove can be seen in a few hours.
La Ciotat with children
For a call with children, La Ciotat’s beaches are easier than the Cassis calanques: fine sand, shallow water and shops nearby. Plage Lumière, in the town centre, is the most convenient for a few hours’ swim.
