niolon: the hidden village of the côte bleue
Niolon is one of the Mediterranean's best-kept secrets. This hamlet perched on the cliffs, 20 km from Marseille, holds a handful of fishing huts, a small harbour, and no hotel at all. This is where Marseille locals have come for generations to find calm and the sea. From Calanca, everything is at hand: the calanque below, hiking trails from the doorstep, and the coastal train into Marseille for the evening if you feel like it.
