Gozo – Island Tour
Our
tour starts with a short 25min. ferry crossing which passes the small
and pretty island of Comino. On arrival at the picturesque Mgarr harbour,
you will notice how much greener it is on Gozo. Even though so close to
the larger island of Malta, the smaller island has many different
characteristics. Included on our tour is a variety of scenic routes and
interesting sights. We include stops at the Inland Sea and Azure Window
at Dwejra, Victoria and the imposing Citadel, the beautiful seaside
village of Xlendi Bay and include a spectacular show which relives the
life of Gozo’s yesteryear throughout the centuries. A local lunch is
included and some time for shopping for local hand made lace and woolen
goods, both very popular buys on the island. Throughout the day you will
also see some of Gozo’s typical old villages where the pace of life
is typical of Mediterranean lifestyle of years gone by.
Friday
Start 0900hrs/End 1600hrs
Round Malta Cruise
Pick-up form your hotel and transfer to Sliema Creek to board the cruise
boat for a day cruising around the coast of Malta. See Malta from a
different perspective, the cruise hugs the coastline and you will see
many of the coastline attractions. You start by passing through the
Marsamxett harbour, then heading south passing the fishing villages, by
Blue Grotto caves (the boat does not visit the caves), cruise under the
towering Dingli Cliffs, onto Popeye Village (the original film set)
before the cruise stops for a couple of hours at the island of Comino.
Here you will have a nice buffet lunch and you also have the opportunity
to go onto the island for a short stroll around or if you fancy a quick
dip in the crystal clear waters of the Blue Lagoon, this is the ideal
opportunity. In the afternoon we continue with our cruise, around the
other side of the island, passing Mellieha Bay, St. Paul's and the White
Rocks coastline before returning to Sliema Creek. Transport will then
return you back to your hotels.
Saturday
Start 0900hrs/End 1600hrs
Valletta – Mdina – Hagar Qim Temple – Marsaxlokk Village
Our first
visit during this tour is Valletta, here we include the Barraka Gardens
which offer stunning views of the Grand Harbour and magnificent
fortifications, a walk down Triq Republikka where you can
admire numerous historical buildings built by the Knights of St. John
including the Aubereges, the Grand Masters Palace and the St. John's Co.
Cathedral, the church of the order and also home to Caravaggio's
masterpiece "Beheading of St. John" amonst other treasures. After our
tour of the capital we will then visit the
south west of the island to a rural area where the ancient Hagar Qim
Temple site stands circa. 3300BC. This temple is particularly
interesting as it has the largest and heaviest megaliths, some weighing
a staggering 20 tons. We then continue to our next stop and an
opportunity to experience a little local culture when we visit the
pretty traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Marsaxlokk fishing
village is characterized by low lying buildings and the colorful
traditional fishing boats known as the 'luzzu'. A small market lines the
seafront and if you would like to sample local fresh fish there are
plenty of good quality restaurants to choose from. Our final stop during
this tour will be to Mdina. Mdina is a unique medieval
city, built in the 9th century, the city was built on a plateau in the
centre of the island and from the high bastion walls you can admire
stunning views of the island.
This medieval city is a
maze of narrow alleys and magnificent architecture, the only way to
appreciate this special city is to walk through
it and admire its
living history. Our tour at this point comes to an end and we head back
to the hotel.
