Paradise on the southern coast

#myhiddengems If you happen to be in Marseilles and looking for a fantastic day trip. This turquoise water gem, Cassis would make for a perfect choice. Actually given what it offers and what it costs, I would even recommend a stay here. Amongst my favourite destinations in the south of France. This decently priced coastal town with its season side charms and visuals, has even been called the poor man's st. tropez. A drive from Marseilles would typically take you about 40 minutes or if you are on your own. I took a train from Marseille that didn't cost much and only took about 20-25 minutes. I had met a family here that came straight from the airport by taxi. I think that's a great idea too and might set you back by 100 bucks or so but very convenient. Cassis, besides it own sights is also located nearby some places of tourist interest. I was lucky that it was lavender season and so visited the neighbouring town of Aix en Provence. There is the option of La ciotat as well. In terms of local sights and transport. There is the usual set of churches, vineyards dn castles worthy of a visit. I comfortably did that with public buses. The food was a delight as with most of France. All in all, such a satisfying stay in all fronts. #myhiddengems #southfrance #100waysoftravel #casis #summerdestinations #europeantrip #europe #solo #daytrips #cherryblossom2024 #singapore
