Malta Classic Tour
By far the most popular
itinerary requested by cruise liner passengers visiting for the day.
The tour is diverse and covers
three periods of Malta's golden history including a UNESCO temple site,
the fortified city of Valletta and Medieval Mdina all in one day!
Our full day tour includes a tour of
Valletta, built in 1565 by the Knights of St. John the capital is also
described as "the city built by gentlemen for gentlemen". Our tour starts
with a visit to the Upper Barakka Gardens, here you can admire views
overlooking the stunning fortified Grand Harbour. We also feature the
magnificent St. John's Co. Cathedral, here you will also
see Caravaggio's 'Beheading of St. John'. Our final stop in Valletta is
the Grand Masters Palace, this palace was the seat of the order of St.
John and is today used as parliament, here you can admire the state rooms,
the beautiful tapestries amongst other treasures. After
our tour of Valletta we visit the pretty traditional fishing village of
Marsaxlokk in the south of the island, the best place for fresh fish and
an ideal stop for lunch. We continue our tour in the afternoon visiting
the Hagar Qim Temple site circa. 3300BC, this
temple is particularly interesting as it has the largest and heaviest
megaliths, some weighing a staggering 20 tons. The final location on our
tour is the medieval city of Mdina, which is otherwise known as "The
Silent City". Mdina is the islands old capital, built in the 9th century
by the Arabs.
This
medieval city is a maze of narrow alleys and magnificent architecture. Our
walking tour includes all the main highlights and also a visit to St.
Paul's Cathedral. Our tour ends here and we make our way back to port. |
