Tangier Med
Tangier Med is the great modern port on the Strait of Gibraltar, opened in 2007 on the Moroccan coast, about forty kilometres east of Tangier. It handles heavy container traffic and has a passenger terminal from which ferries leave for Sète, Marseille, Genoa, Barcelona and the ports of southern Spain. Allow a margin for police and customs formalities before boarding, especially in summer.
Marseille
Arriving in Marseille by sea, you see the hill of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde long before you reach the breakwaters of one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean. The ferry quays are north of the centre, in the port area, so allow for a bus, taxi or car transfer to the Old Port and Saint-Charles station, where the TGV leaves for Paris, Lyon and the Riviera. If you have a day to spare, climb up to the Bonne Mère for the panorama or stroll through the Panier district.
