Calanques & Coastal Nature

Cassis is defined by a unique karstic landscape where dramatic limestone cliffs meet the Mediterranean. This selection highlights the region's complex hydrological features, including the massive submarine springs of Port-Miou and Bestouan, which discharge freshwater directly into the sea. The area features the Calanque de Port-Miou, a former quarry turned natural harbor, alongside vertical sinkholes like the Aven de la Gorguette and the sheer climbing faces of the Falaise du Calendal.
