Others & Tips

Temples & Caves

If you would like to visit some temples, we would recommend the Mnajdra and the Hagar Qim temples in Zurrieq. Afterwards, hop aboard a small, motorised fishing boat and see the pristine waters around the Blue Grotto caves.

Wreck Diving

The island is one of the most popular worldwide destinations for divers. Few destinations have the natural harbours, bays, sheltered creeks, reefs and wrecks which you will find around the Maltese coast. Both beginners and experienced open-water divers will be able to explore a variety of underwater worlds.

Tour in a horse drawn cab

A horse-drawn cab ride around St. Julian’s, Valletta or Mdina will give you different view of Malta’s treasures.

Harbour Cruise

A harbour cruise is a relaxing and spectacular way to see Valletta and the three cities from a very different angle. Cruises start from the Sliema ferries terminal. One can get to Sliema ferry terminal by bus, taxi or better still by ferry from directly from Valletta.

Bus Service

Malta is a small island, easily accessible by a well-connected public bus service. Do allow an average of 45 minutes travel time to most destinations.

Weather

Malta enjoys some of the finest weather in the Mediterranean. We recommend adequate protection from the sun and hats, sunglasses and sun block in the summer are a must.

Religion

The Maltese Islands boast some of the most magnificent churches in the world, when visiting, do remember that they are places of workship so appropriate dress is required.

Swimming

Malta has some of the cleanest seas in the Mediterranean. Enjoy its beaches, explore its alcoves and do remember, when in doubt swim where the locals do.

Tipping

Most restaurants in Malta don’t include a service charge in their bill, it is habitual to leave a tip of 10% of the bill value.
