Between Cassis and Marseille, the Calanques Massif forms an impressive landscape.
The relief of the limestone massif is steep, with cliffs plunging into the blue sea that penetrates into deep coves and creeks (the Calanques themselves).
The most famous Calanques are those of Morgiou, Sormiou, Sugiton, and Port-Miou near Cassis. The massif itself rises to 565 meters.
There are other Calanques on the Mediterranean coast: Port d'Alon between Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer and Bandol, Méjean and Erevine on the Côte Bleue.
The Calanques are a protected place, and walking and hiking are the best ways to discover them, with rock climbing also being practiced. The Calanques can also be visited by boat.
