The coves of Sugiton and Morgiou

We did this hike on Sunday, 15 June, following the suggested route.
Be careful at point 2, where there is a detour (unless you want to see the Sugiton viewpoint, which adds 1.4 km to the initial route). You need to go about 50 metres further on the left to take another path on the right, which is then marked with three red dots.
At point 4, you can easily access Sugiton Cove for a swim.
However, the next section between points 4 and 5 is more difficult. The ladder section is easy, but a little further on, the route can be described as very difficult (especially in this direction). It's not vertiginous, but it's more like rock climbing!
Once you have overcome these difficulties, you can continue to enjoy the magnificent scenery and another swimming and picnic spot at point 5. Feel free to refresh yourself at the only bar/restaurant (cheques or cash only, no credit cards) in the village of Morgiou.
Passages 5 and 6 are easy, but the climb between 6 and 7 will make you sweat a little, especially in strong sunlight.
Overall, a very beautiful hike, well worth discovering.

We did it last weekend with children aged 9 and 13, but in the other direction, first Morgiou and then Sugiton. This way is much better for getting through the complicated zone, which is very smooth. On the way up, we didn't encounter any major difficulties, but it was climbing all the same. On the way down, frankly, we would have been much less comfortable. It's really odd that this section isn't secured with a chain, even though there are chains at two other points on the walk. The fact that the rock is very smooth will eventually make it necessary.

In any case, it's an eye-watering walk that we thoroughly enjoyed.

A very beautiful hike, with breathtaking scenery and challenging sections....
On the other hand, in the sector between Sugiton and Morgiou, you need to be very careful as the rocks are very smooth due to the intense passage..... a safety cable would not be a luxury.... but when you get to Morgiou, take a short break on the terrace... to continue and finish this magnificent hike with a nice climb.

A walk with beautiful views of the calanques. A few perilous sections, not a hike for young children. It's a shame that the description of the walk is in German, but fortunately the route on the map is correct, except at the top of the sugiton pass where the path that joins the track below is closed, but it is possible to take the track directly.

A very pleasant, sporty but accessible walk.
There is a ladder to climb and some steep slopes to go up and down, but nothing insurmountable except perhaps for young children.
Despite the grey weather, the views are still magnificent.

A lovely, sporty autumn hike!
The weather was fine, the water was still pleasant, it was a lovely day!

Accessible walk with lovely views, the route is well signposted and not difficult.

Magnificent hike, but EXCLUSIVELY for experienced hikers: not because of the physical level required, which is relatively standard, but rather in terms of safety (climbing).

For the technical section in question: search for "calanques de sugiton et morgiou passage difficile" on google images, and look at the photo where you can see people climbing (not the section with the ladder, but the section on the cliff).

A beautiful hike, with superb scenery. Be careful, though: one of the downhill sections towards Morgiou is really tricky and dangerous: it should be avoided by anyone who is not at ease with de-escalation.

Walk on a Saturday (18/05) with a 10am start. Very large car park.
The route is very well signposted and without difficulty.
I suppose that the "difficulty" is linked to the climb up the ladder and the 2 very steep short descents between the two creeks. But to be honest, there's nothing complicated or dangerous about it.

Another great discovery, I recommend this hike. If you have time, the little diversions to the belvedere before starting the descent from point 3 is well worth it.

Classic hike. The first part as far as the sugiton cove is for less experienced hikers: the paths are well-developed and very busy. That said, the beauty of the landscape is well worth the effort. The belvedere is also well worth the diversions (30 minutes more but on a flat path).
The section between Sugiton and Morgion is a little more strenuous, with a ladder and, further on, a descent that requires you to stand on your buttocks and wait for a foothold. These are my 2 favourite sections! They're harmless if you're not daunted by the difficulty.
The return after Morgiou is not very interesting: no viewpoints and scree. That said, the return is direct and quick for those who are tired of walking. Personally, I prefer to turn back, but that makes the hike longer and more difficult.

Thank you for this wonderful hike, especially the calanque of Sugiton, which is splendid (seen from above or below).
At point 3, it was no longer possible to take the shortcut to the path below as it was clearly indicated that this access was closed. Instead, simply turn left at point 2, and immediately right to take the GR 98. 100m further on, you can take a signposted path and get back on track.

As always, we're delighted by the walks in the calanques.
We enjoyed a beautiful day on Monday 7 November, with a dip in the sugiton cove and a picnic at the port of Morgiou.
The only difficulty was the very steep descent between the two creeks shortly after the ladder crossing. For me, who is afraid of heights, this was a good adrenaline rush. But I have no regrets given the beauty of the scenery and views.
Thank you for this hike

The Calanques are probably the most accessible in Marseille. A superb setting, but ruined by overcrowding. Sorry about that! To be avoided on sunny days and, in my opinion, best done in winter!

A very nice walk today in ideal conditions (big blue sky, very little wind). It was a bit crowded despite the fact that it was the last Monday in February and there were no longer any school holidays in this area.
However, I think it's important to add the return trip to the Sugiton lookout between point 2 and point 3. The effort involved is minimal, but the view is not to be missed.
