Old Port
about 60 minThe harbour where Greek settlers founded Marseille, with a fish market every morning and the Ombrière on the quay.
The Old Port is the historic cradle of Marseille: the tourist office says the Greeks founded the city here more than 2,600 years ago. The same page lists a fish market every morning, a flower market on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, a walk along the quay and a short ferry crossing. The listing shows no hours and the page gives no market times, so the guide shows the hours as unknown and does not plan it.
What to do there- Take a selfie under the Ombrière
- Watch the fish market in the morning
- Walk along the quay
- Cross the port on the ferry boat
