A detailed description of the walk!
From the head of Calanque de Port-Miou follow the western side till the junction with the side trip to the Cacau Peninsula (this is a worthwhile sidetrip if time allows as the peninsula has an interesting industrial past with the Pointe Cacau Silos laying on the Eastern side of the peninsula to funnel quaried limestone rubble onto waiting boats) the main route continues down to the head of the Calanque de Port-Pin. The walk then continues along the Western side of Calanque de Port-Pin before bending right and climbing up the Plateau de Caderionto to witness spectacular views of Calanque d'En-Vau. Then make your way across the plateau to the col where you can take the side trail down to Calanque d'En-Vau. When you return simply follow the trail down to the head of Calanque de Port-Pin and then return the way you came to the begining.
