The Three Calanques — Port-Miou to En-Vau

Widely considered the most iconic hike in the Parc National des Calanques, this 9.5km route links the ports of Cassis and Marseille via a series of dramatic limestone inlets. The trail begins at the boat-filled Port-Miou marina, traverses the white limestone plateau, and passes the pebble beach of Port-Pin. The culmination of the route is the descent into the Calanque d’En-Vau, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful natural harbors in Europe, featuring vertical white cliffs and turquoise waters. The route combines accessible coastal pathways with steep, technically challenging descents on polished rock. Note: Compiled from public sources — not a field report.
