"Parc National de Port-Cros Located where the mountains meet the sea, Port-Cros National Park is only partially visible from the shore, as nearly half of its land is underwater. While this island park offers plenty of hiking, cycling, and beach activities for landlubbers, the park’s main draw is its unique set of seven underwater hikes for snorkelers. Well-marked paths lead swimmers of all ages to Roman ruins, a reconstructed shipwreck, and protected marine gardens, while signage and buoys explain the region’s flora and fauna, which include starfish, octopuses, and sea anemones. Visitors can arrange for both guided tours and snorkeling equipment rentals upon arrival."

We dropped our anchor at Port Man, Port Cros two weeks ago. There are the best hiking routes on this island. Some of them are quite challenging. There are three old forts on this island. Also we went for hiking to visit the village on the west side of this island from the anchorage of Port Man and we returned. It took us 5 hours! Definitely we will visit Port Cros again someday!

I like this island even more than a neighboring Porquerolles with its numerous trails and beautiful views.

Beautiful protected island. Diving with that abundance in fishes is a must as well as dining fresh fish at the rather pricey local restaurants.

The island was very busy with tourists. It is also the site of a battle with the German army during WW2.

There are no cars in Port-Cros…not even a bike to disturb the insular calm. Heart of the National Park created in 1963, the wildest and best preserved of the Golden Isles is made for hiking. Be Robinson Crusoe for a day and set upon the island’s marked trails, losing yourself among the arbutus and cistus trees, accompanied on your adventure by the cicadas’ song. Three trails running along the coast and inland will take you on a discovery hike amidst Port-Cros’ natural and cultural wonders.

Beautiful can't add more. Restaurants busy food OK, not so expensive when you think that they have a captive market. Worth the visit

Het eiland Port Cros is een prachtig eiland en zeker het bezoeken waard. De boottocht vanuit Le Lavandou was op zichzelf al geweldig. De wandelroutes die door het eiland lopen zijn spectaculair en bieden geweldige doorkijkjes naar de zee. Pas wel op voor de insecten, die zijn er veel.
