ypu an buy a bus ticket that will get you to the ferry port and then all over Gozo. Spend the morning and lunch in Victoria and then bus down to Xlendi bay to cool off
Valetta old town is worth spending some time mooching about. Lots of history. From Knights Templar to WW2
if diving is your bag, there is lots of good stuff to see. I can recommend a good outfit there.
Is Trousers still a member on here? He’s a great expert on Malta. Valetta is beautiful and it’s worth a visit to the ‘silent city’, Mdina. If you can stay away from the crowded touristy areas, St Pauls Bay is worth a trip too. There’s the Popeye Village and the Blue Grotto and, as said, Gozo is great. So many places and it’s such a friendly place. I’m well jell, as they say
As mentioned by cb use the buses. Everyone speaks great English and are very helpful. Used to just pick a bus and ask the driver where on his route i should visit. The most kind and helpful people.
Went to Malta years ago we stayed in St Julians which used to be the “place to go” area!
Small island to be honest and easy to access anywhere. Mdina definitely worth a visit so is the Blue Grotto and Gozo, the Azure Window at sunset is a must see.
We also booked a catarmaran excursion around the island, got well drunk but saw loads, the Blue and Crystal lagoons are great to swim in off of a boat.
Be careful though to not offend the locals by allowing Mrs C_S to get her boobies out, topless sunbathing is illegal (or at least was) in Malta!!
Thanks for all the feedback peeps…very much appreciated.
Possibly a mistake to share with Mrs C_S & mutants…suspect I’m now going to be run ragged and become a bankrupt. Will probably only be able to afford to eat the local toast recommended by Fatso.
CB Saint - what’s the name of the diving outfit you recommend?
I don’t actually visit Saintsweb that much, but haven’t seen him much when I have. I have used the awesome power of the Sotonians Twitter account to raise the beast to deal with this Malta related issue.
If architecture and art are your thing, Cobham Saint, then St John’s Co-Cathedral, Valetta, contains a pretty impressive Baroque interior and some fine artworks including a couple of superb Caravaggio’s.
