Traveling is an important part of my life. And I'm grateful for all happy moments I can experience while visiting the remarkable places and meeting the incredible people. So, I have decided to capture these bright memories and turn them into blog posts, which I can look back on and share with others. Maybe, one day, these short stories will inspire other people to begin their own truly meaningful and exciting adventures..

Marseille, Day1

The marina of MarseilleThe Cathédrale de la Major is the main cathedral in Marseille, also known as the Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure, or simply "La Major"

Visiting the Mediterranean city in winter, which is also the most criminal city in France, was not my dream honestly. But I found the cheap direct flights there. Why not to try?




Luckily, the hotel is located quite in the city centre. So, I do not need to think about transport, and also I hope it is safer here than in other districts of the city.
The room is very good to my taste, but most of all I liked the view, which also offered looking into the sea. Far away from the sea, but still pretty walkable.



The weather is sunny, so I could enjoy my walking around the city. And finding so many good spots for taking pictures.



For lunch it was some Armenian restaurant with very delicious food. Honestly, I have no idea, what kind of food is traditional for Marseille. But this oriental cuisine is very tasty for me.



The Port of Marseille is the largest in France and one of the biggest in the Mediterranean, serving as a major hub for cargo, ferries, and cruise ships, but it's also known for industrial noise, pollution, and being a hotspot for smuggling and illicit trade.


The historic heart of Marseille is the Vieux-Port (Old Port). It is very scenic and lively. 



Dinner was near the port - at the food court with many restaurants. The freshest fish and oysters, and one of the best pizzas of all time, with pistachio sauce. 



Very good feeling of the city after the first day of staying. It was safe so far.
