Four days in Cassis without car

We are planning to spend four days in Cassis in September. While my wife would be quite content to spend most of it on the beach, I am looking for some ideas on excursions.



Some things we might like to do include:



Day trip to Marseille



Boat trip to Callangues



Visit to local wine producer or cooperative.



Visit to cute village inland, accessible by bus or train.





Any thoughts on these, or other ideas?

Without a vehicle, the easiest places are Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and Avignon. Calanques and winery, right on. Leave time for some beach!




|||



Keep in mind that the Cassis train station is 5km from the center of town.

The bus is much more practical for tourism, schedules are here:

For more personalized service to a wide range of local destinations of interest to tourists, check the personal shuttle Jayana:
