Sandy beaches in Malta

by ROCKARIA

Hi Michal,Considering that september is the most busiest time in Malta for sandy beaches one can always find parking on the northern sandy beaches before 9.00am.After that time one have to drop off the passengers on the beach and park further away for about 200 mtrs or so.Regarding Hired cars in Malta its quite safe but as per anywhere else sometimes Hired cars are targets in sandy beaches, to avoid items getting stolen especially from a hired car do take any valuables with you and lock any large object in the trunk.Even on the beach always keep an eye on the items.This is normal procedure in every country i suppose.The main Sandy beaches are Golden bay,Mellieha bay & Paradise bay.Especially in Golden Bay watch out when the sea is rough the waves could be dangerous and drag you out unexpectingly due to underwater currents.If one stays in shallow water then it should be ok.Hotels near...

Find a friend

by Dick33

It is hard to say just one activity Malta has so much so offer Valletta , Mdina and Gozo are a must see.I named this find a friend because one of Malta's best assets are the Malteese people last time I went to Malta I met up with Josef and Anne and had a great time.The photo is of Me and Josef in Vittoriosa, he took us around the three citys one afternoon it was very good of him because we had been in a car and just got lost. Spending time with Josef and Anne I look forward to seeing them again.

Rural Gozo

by iwys

One of the nicest things to do in Malta is walk in the countryside of Gozo. On the main island of Malta there really isn't much pretty countryside left, but on Gozo, where there has been considerably less urban development, there is. Only 30,000 people live on Gozo and many of them are farmers.

Maltese Windows

by iwys

You can see the strong influence of Arab architecture in Maltese buildings, especially the windows, which jut out into the narrow streets in order to catch the breeze during the hot summers. These are like the Arab mashrabia windows, except that they have panes of glass rather than wood latticework and shutters.

Malta International Aiport

by nhcram

Malta International airport has certainly come on in the last few years and now has a slick and professional attitude to its travellers.This lovely piece of artwork greets you as you enter the passport control area in the arrivals area.

Local wine

by nigelw6443

I found that in most restaurants the wine list did not offer open wine. The first night out I had bought a bottle and it cost around 6 Maltese. However, if you ask for local wine it will come in a carafe and cost at least half the price!

The island of Gozo

by sunchasers

Most people who come to Malta stay on Malta. However, after our trip, we would probably recommend staying on the island of Gozo (or at least spending a few days on Gozo). It's a much more laid back and somewhat prettier island in our opinion. Also, if you like things like hiking or scuba diving, Gozo is a nice choice.

Have a walk around the THREE...

by maxovna

Have a walk around the THREE CITIES - SENGLEA (1551), COSPICUA (beginning of the XVIII century) and VITTORIOSA or BIRGU (XVI century). There are no borders between them, they form a single whole. These Cities played a very important role during the Great Siege (there were severe fights with the Turkish army here). Bigru, by the way, had been the capital of knights before Valletta was founded. If you get to fort Saint Michael in Senglea, you'll enjoy a breathtaking view over Grand Harbour and Valletta. At the end of our walk we were too tired and agreed with pleasure to make a boatride around the Grand Harbour.
