La Ciotat

We had a couple of nights on the anchor off La Citotat and then came into the old harbour as there were strong winds forecast and as it is still forecast we will be there a fourth night.

La Citotat is an old town which still has an active ship yard and the old harbour is surrounded by a church, houses and shops, very much the focus of the town.  We are enjoying our stay here: good markets on Sunday and Tuesday, delicious swordfish steaks last night and a nice atmosphere walking around the old narrow streets.  The only downside has been loud music till late at night from the restraunt behind the visitors moorings.

Outside the town, paralleling the beaches, are busy tourist developments (we were anchored off them) but you would not know it when in the town.
