A Mediterranean fishing port overlooked by a striking château, Cassis is a beautiful destination for a seaside escape or a food and wine-focused holiday. Travel as a couple or with friends and family, choosing from a selection of characterful villas, guesthouses and hotels both on the coast and inland. Some of our favourite spots are romantic hideaways tucked amidst the famous Cassis vines — though one of the best places to stay in Cassis is an Art Deco mansion with uninterrupted coastal views.
Laid-back harbour-side strolls promise pastel-painted houses and an array of great cafés and seafood eateries for people-watching before or after brilliant boat trips. The Cassis Market has a lively buzz and brims with fresh produce, whilst the little tourist train zips through town to take in all the key sights. Keen beachgoers should head to pebbled Plage du Corton, Plage de l’Arène or Plage de la Grande Mer for swimming and sunbathing within sight of the region’s dramatic limestone cliffs. You’ll also find ample opportunities to sail and kayak beyond the Calanques National Park — known for its narrow inlets framed by steep rock walls. Hike or run along the Cap Canaille headland for spectacular sea views.
Tours and tastings of the area's world-class white wine vineyards are not to be missed. Take things up a notch with a few nights at one of the best places to stay in Cassis: a romantic, 4-bedroom B&B in the heart of the wine country!
