The trip costs € 17 per person (roundtrip) and takes about half an hour. For the entrance of the site in Delos you pay € 6 per person. Boats return to Mykonos at 12h15, 13h30 and 15h00.

TOULON 6 HOURS guided excursion to  to AIX EN PROVENCE 

Proposed Itinerary (may be reversed or rearranged as needed)

Architecture, history, food or shopping! Whatever your interest is, the ambiance and medieval charm of Aix en Provence is irresistible. Leaving the harbor of Toulon, you'll drive to Aix en Provence, the Capital of Provence. Your guide will take you for a walking tour where you’ll see the Cours Mirabeau one of the most popular and lively areas in town. This wide avenue decorated with fountains and shaded by rows of trees is the central hub of Aix. Built in the 17th century on the site of the medieval ramparts, the Cours Mirabeau originally had no shops or boutiques.

On one side stand the aristocratic facades of the old hotels with their finely carved doorways and wrought-iron balconies. One of the nicest fountains you'll see is certainly the natural hot water fountain covered with moss, dating from 1734. You’ll reach Saint Sauveur Cathedral, a unique building due to its combination of architectural styles that date from the 5th to the 17th century - the Romanesque nave, baptistery of the Merovingian period, Triptych of the Burning Bush and the flamboyant Gothic part. Enjoy some free time in Aix before your drive back to Toulon.

The tour continues to the small fishing village of Cassis. The beautiful harbor is lined with colorful restaurants and cafes that mirror onto the quiet waters of the small port with vintage fishing boats basking on the colorful reflection.
