The sleepy town of Trets sits perfectly positioned between bustling Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, making it an ideal base for exploring authentic Provence. The standout full-day tours (Kč 25,035) combine three essential Provençal experiences: wine tasting at local vineyards, traditional food sampling, and nature exploration in Calanques National Park. I’m especially fond of these intimate small-group outings (maximum 6 people) because they include door-to-door service and skip the tourist crowds. The combination of boat rides through limestone cliffs and visits to family-run wineries offers the perfect mix of adventure and culture. Back-door travel at its best!
