Walking

Many hikers who walk every year sometimes tortuous paths of the Creeks. The GR 51 passes through the Calanques from west to east for a total distance of 28km. So dificult to do everything in one day, especially as the camp is strictly prohibited. Take time to visit them little by little.

Difficulty:

Some passages can be difficult (steep ledges) or delicate selons routes. Tip: Ask about in the difficulty of the roads from tourist offices or hire an agency that offers randonnnées together.
