Coastal Hike from the Fishing Village of Morgiou

The hike along the Calanques from Morgiou to Sormiou is an experience of rugged beauty and breathtaking coastal scenery. In the spring, when temperatures are mild and the tourist crowds stay away, nature lovers will find this a true delight. We start in the small cove of Morgiou, where colorful fishing boats bob in the clear water and the scent of sea salt hangs in the air. The steep white limestone cliffs lining the path allow us to experience the region’s impressive geology. Time and again, we’re treated to views of the shimmering turquoise sea, which merges with the sky in the distance. At the Le Canceou passage, a picturesque panorama opens up over the Calanque de Sormiou and the Calanque de Morgiou, revealing the coast in all its splendor. The region is also fascinating from a cultural and historical perspective, as people have been using these coves to row out to sea since ancient times. Traces of the past are visible in the cliffs.
