I suggest a magnificent hike to the Calanque de Sugiton. You can park in the faculty of science parking lot of Luminy in Marseille. The hike by near the school of architecture, you will see a fountain of drinking water and a green barrier that you will have to pass. The distance is 3.2km for 2h20 of walking there and back, it's not a loop.
This calanque being the busiest in the national park, the town hall of Marseille has set up a reservation system in order to protect the place. You can therefore book your places on this link.
The shady path first follows yellow markings and passes first by the Col de Sugiton which you can deviate for a few minutes to take a turn at the lookout.
You can admire a very beautiful view overlooking the Calanque de Morgiou.
The descent to Sugiton then continues on a small marked red-dotted path and then continues on a concrete road. At the last, still high bend, the Calanque de Sugiton is revealed with its two small coves and the Torpilleur island. Don't hesitate to descend into the creek or onto the rocks in front of the islet. The seabed is very beautiful in a snorkel mask.
The return is by the same route as the outward journey.
