PeterVancouver Says: Being amost central in the Island, San Anton Gardens with the Governors Palace, are ideally situated for visiting all parts of the island and the cheapest way is by buses Some of these buses would appear to be museum pieces with a number being over 35 years old and almost...

Saracino's Cafe: Coffee Shop Next Door to the Church!
Xemx Says: Apart from the tables and chairs, I do like the interior of Saracino's coffee shop which has lots of character. During the warm summer months, they offer outdoor seating which is very pleasant. It is mostly frequented by the locals and being situated exactly next door to...
This place is one of my favorite places as they give out apetizers with your drinks and they are not only just peanuts and little things but chicken legs, rabbit, pasta etc, really worth going ! however the bad thing is its a small place and you have to book in adavance as it is always packed with people and very stuffy !!!

Helpfulness
The streets between Attard and Balzan were quite narrow, and sometimes had cars parked along them. The bus had to go very carefully at times. At one point, in Balzan, it reached a point where it couldn't pass, a car was sticking too far into the road.
The bus driver stopped, blared his horn a few times and when that brought nobody to the car he just stopped his engine and waited.
We were there about 15 minutes before someone from a car in the queue that had formed behind had the idea of lifting the car further into the kerbside. He, I and the bus driver did this and the bus could then go on its way. It's debateable whether the car driver could get his car back out from the spot in which we left it without lifting it again.

Aunt_Bertha Says: As I had already mentioned, a large number of Attard's population consists of friendly felines. That's why Attard is the unofficial Cat Capital of Malta, also referred to as C(Attard). The cats are so friendly there that they will even tolerate one or the other dog in their...
sandysmith Says: The old core of Balzan like Liya is really quaint with characteristic alleyways and narrow streets. look up from time to time and you see many religious stautes in niches of the buildings.
sandysmith Says: It seems incredible that even little villages like Liya have so many churches and chapels in such a small area but thats Malta for you - one for each day of the year they say! With the Belvedere behind you and the parish church ahead then the old parish church will be on...
sandysmith Says: Ahead of the Belvedere is the parish church of Liya which dates from 1694. Like many churches in Malta the clocks gives differing times in an attempt to confuse the devil.
sandysmith Says: Not many tourists will think of coming to Liya and it is only a tiny village but this Chapel - Our lady of Miracles in St Saviours Street is said to be built on the exact geographical centre of Malta. Again no time to go inside here but for your information the old holy...
sandysmith Says: The tiny village of Liys has some lovely old villas and gardens with orange groves - in fact oranges are the symbol of this village. Many of the large village houses play host to the many societies and clubs which seem so popular in Malta - every village seems to have a...
sandysmith Says: In the centre of LIya village you will see this strange tower with external staircase in the middle of the road! Its known as the Belvedere. It used to be situated in the garden of one of the large villas in this affluent village. During a road widening scheme in the 1950's...
