The hike to Les Calanques was challenging at times but worth it for the lovely, rocky beach at the end. The port is lively, morning market is fun with all sorts if locsl artisinal foods. Good selection of restaurants. Easy acces to La Ciotat beach town.

I stayed at "Jardins de Cassis" last August with a French colleague for two nights. On our second night we asked the receptionist where would we find a nice bar to go in Marseille for night out- and came back early hours to find shockingly! room door broken into- looted by thieves. They took everything of value - tablet, camera, lenses, some clothes shopping and pocket cash. The total estimated amount between us was more than €3.2k worth of possessions. We went about calling the police, who quizzed the owner & staff who seemed sympathetic of our situation. As soon as the police left the scene the lady proprietor of this hotel simply offered a coffee, knowing we had no sleep all night, her demeanour became defensive & almost hostile. Ever since the incident the hotel have refused to meet with insurance reps and been less than helpful concerning our compensation- claims. Thats why this review is late, but it seems were being challenged every step by the hotel owner who is behaving deplorably. Be careful to mind your possessions at this hotel- thankfully i had my passport with me - but this situation could have been even worse for us. The thieves even took my car keys thinking i parked there! Please note - there was NO safe in our room. This incident put a stain on our otherwise enjoyable stay- the room was fine and facilities were good & hotel was short walk down to main beach/town. Such a pity the incident has impacted my first visit to the south of France, Cassis. This whole experience was like a nightmare the last thing you want to happen on holiday- and made worse by unhelpful & unsympathetic staff.

GO! Just GO!! Cassis is one of those places that just must not be missed!! Visit the Calanques of Cassis - if you don't do the hike to them, then at least take the boat ride out! Cassis is beautiful!

Cassis is a must visit if you are in France. This is a beautiful, quaint seaside town with a beach, excellent restaurants, and shops. Most of all, the scenery is mesmerizing. This town is a photographer's delight!! Excellent for families, couples, and a girlfriend getaway!! Thank you Cassis🇫🇷

Cassis was great because you are right at the calanques and can go on hikes to get to them or take a boat tour to see them. The boat tour was great although only for pics and viewing - they don't drop you off for swimming - but still recommend it. I took the 5 calanques tour! Great restaurants in back streets from the port- the port side ones are too touristy. By train , note that the town is downhill a couple miles from train station and not a lot of train times.

Cassis is a beautiful seaside spot but, the hilly walk into the town center was tiresome for us. As a senior I would choose a hotel closest to town . Central town beach was more comfortable than the pebble one in front of our hotel. No taxi service into town you must walk. Guess you get the idea I disliked the trudge into town. Don't miss the Calanque boat trip ...more than worthwhile. We were lucky enough to be there for their Friday market. Great prices on linen tops and pants as well as the foods. We wandered for hours tasting . When it gets too hot their parks are filled with shade trees and people watching was fun.
