Xlendi itself isn't off the beaten path, but if you follow the trail to the south out of town up to the watchtower, you'll find some really nice rock formations and salt pans. It's also an excellent sun-bathing spot.
I think this is the most southern spot of the Malta island. Ghar Lapsi is another nice location for swimming, sunbathing, drinking and so on. The Blue Creek restaurant here has a great view to the sea.
This is not exactly a place you can visit, but you will see the Filfla Island often from different locations on the south side of the island, I wonder what is there to see if any fisherman’s will be willing to take you there if you asks?
Oh well, this is not the official name of this place, it is just how I name it, another one of the beautiful cliffs of Malta, not sure exactly how to get there, and maybe better to keep it private ;-)
Being a frequent visitor to Norway I know what ‘real” fjord is, however, being in a small island fjord can be interesting as well, especially when you do not expect it. This is a small fjord, which used as a fisherman’s harbour. It is popular also with tourists that come here to take a short boat trip to the blue grotto.
This is a small place with quiet stone beach. To get here you need to park your car in the end on the read and continue by foot over the cliff, in the other photos here you can see the cliff I was walking on, thankfully, before drinking the beer or else I would be here writing this tip ;-)

Grand Master Antoine de Paule built this Palace as his summer residence in 1628. Further embellishments were carried out during the Knights' Rule, including the Irrigation system, and the Chapel inside the Palace by Grand Master De Vilhena some 100 years later. The gardens around the palace are the best example of a botanical garden in Malta. Various kinds of ficus, palm, eucalyptus and citrus trees can be found in here. After the knights, the Palace was the quarters for the Maltese Resistance against the French, later as an official residence to the British Governors. In 1882 the gardens were opened to the public. When Malta became a Republic in 1974, San Anton Palace became the official residence of the President of Malta.

This countryroad is relaxed and can take you straight from the Rabat/Mdina area to the Neolithic Temples and Blue Grotto. There is some nice countryside and chapels to be seen - but a word of caution if you are driving - beware of the potholes!! It is nice to hike too, but not on a very hot day because it would be hard to find a scrap of shade.From Mdina, just exit the city and start making your way towards Valletta. As soon as you pass the Tattingers nightcub take the first turn on the right.
The Cart Ruts are parallel channels, usually in pairs but sometimes also found in groups that are cut in rock .The purpose for these channels is still a mystery though many scholars and scientist have said their theories. Some tracks in Malta were found right to to edge of cliffs or under the sea. Malta has got the most 'samples' of Cart Ruts from all over the world. One of the best examples and easily reached 'Cart Ruts' are in San Gwann , a town situated half way between St Julians and Naxxar. Once you reach this town with bus 42, you can easily follow the signs. Click on pic to see more photos.
