The other side of a Malta tour
Malta tour packages are known for their extensive explorations of renowned historical sites in the country. But, sadly, not all tourists are interested with history and culture. A lot of people simply want to relax and enjoy the opportunity of not having to do anything in a foreign country. This means they think visiting sites such as the megalithic temples, castles, forts, and churches are too overwhelming for their vacationing purposes.
But, fortunately, a Malta tour is simply not just about these historical sites. A Malta tour is also about having fun and enjoying the Mediterranean vibe. After all, what use is going on a Malta tour if a tourist cannot enjoy the country’s Mediterranean features?
Malta is known for its rocky beaches, as a Malta tour should not end without visiting at least one of the country’s more renowned rocky beaches. Mistra Bay, Salina Bay, and St. Paul’s Bay are among the top beach beaches in Malta. Ironically, however, some of the more popular beaches in Malta are actually sandy beaches. Ghadira Bay, for example, is Malta’s more renowned beach and a popular spot for tourists on a Malta tour. Located in Meliieha, Ghadira Bay is easily accessible from Valetta via bus lines. The Golden Bay and the Ghajn Tuffieha are also are reasonably popular among tourists on a Malta tour. Ghajn Tuffieha, for one, is perhaps the most serene among the beaches in the country. Golden Bay, on the other hand, is within close proximity to a popular 5-star hotel, the Radisson Golden Sands. Paradise Bay, a few minutes away from the Ghadira Bay, is a popular site among young tourists on a Malta tour because of its famous weekend beach parties. These beaches are home to a number of popular water sports in fact, an international windsurfing competition is held in Malta.
Tourists on a Malta tour are advised to go these beaches early, so they can enjoy the stunning view of the sea. However, these beaches can be very crowded during the summer, and some of the beaches are not recommended for swimming during other seasons.
A Malta tour is incomplete without going to the country’s popular night spots. Many say that these night spots are somewhat ill-placed in Malta, since this Mediterranean country is dominantly Catholic, and the extravagance of these night spots and their practices (gay bars, for one, are popular in Malta) are not within the tenets of Catholicism. However, this does not spot Malta from having a lively nightlife. Many tourists who had been on a Malta tour claim that the country is very safe, so tourists should have no problem gallivanting in the cities at night and past midnight. Paceville in St. Julian’s is a popular Malta tour destination for people who are looking for the country’s most lively night activities. St. Julian’s has the most diverse array of establishments: from wine bars to gay bars, from simple eateries to extravagant restaurants. Valetta and Vittoriosa also have sprawling night spots.
This proves that Malta is not just a historic site for history buffs; Malta is also the one of the hubs of the world’s most progressive tourist activities.
