Malta might be one of the smallest nations in Europe, but its strategic position at the crossroads of the Mediterranean has allowed it to cultivate a rich culture over thousands of years. This centre-based tour goes beyond the seaside resorts for which the island is most famous, exploring instead the exciting history of the capital, Valletta; the three cities of Birgu, Senglea and Bormla; as well as the historic sites of the Hagar Qim temples and Marsaxlokk village. Highlights include driving your own electric buggy though the narrow streets, and a tuk-tuk tour of Gozo island.
Take a morning flight from London (regional connections available) to Malta with Air Malta. Transfer to the Waterfront Hotel (or similar) for the duration of the tour. (N)
Day 2: Tour of VallettaEmbark on a guided tour of Malta’s compact capital, Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with baroque marvels, twisting streets and charming cafes. Highlights include St John’s Co-Cathedral and the palatial rooms of Casa Rocca Piccola. Choose to round off your excursion with optional lunch at Rampila Restaurant, uniquely situated in the city’s 16th-century bastions. (B, L)
Day 3: Day at leisureSpend a free day enjoying the facilities of the hotel, including the outdoor pool and sun terrace. Alternatively, explore more of the area, perhaps with an excursion to the tiny third island of Comino, famous for it’s azure blue waters.
Day 4: Discovery of the Three CitiesExplore Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua – together known as The Three Cities of Malta – in a petite electric car called a Rolling Geek.

These colourful vessels are icons of Maltese culture. (B)
Day 5: Tuk-tuk adventure in GozoCross by ferry to Gozo, Malta’s second largest island, for a full day tour by tuk-tuk, including main town Victoria and the Xwejni salt pans.

Day 6: Hagae Qim, Blue Grotto & Marsaxlokk tourEmbark on a full-day tour to the 5,000-year-old temple complex of Hagar Qim and the pretty village of Marsaxlokk, famous for it’s brightly painted fishing boats.
