When I want to travel from The Netherlands to Mallorca: What's the most ideal route to take and how much would it cost for a family + car? It's not all clear when I read it here.
Also what would be the most ‘early' ferry departure from Marseille?
Thanks!
You can't depart from Marseille. The best route is probably to drive to Toulon and take the car ferry from there, for the other options you have to drive to Barcelona. The earliest departures from Toulon are quite late: At around 17:15 or so. this changes a lot however per day! Your other option if you need more time slots is Barcelona.
