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.
