After our tour around the city walls by vehicle, we will explore the city on its vibrant streets. Our first stop will be the Barrakka Gardens, built on the upper section of the defensive walls surrounding this magnificent city. These gardens, constructed by the Knights of St. John, offer views of the Grand Harbour and the three old cities surrounded by walls. We will then continue our tour.

During our approximately half-hour ferry ride, we will also see the small islands of Comino and Cominotto. Upon arrival, our tour will include Ta' Pinu Church, Dwejra, the Inland Sea, the Mushroom Rock, and the fishing village of Marsalforn. Finally, we will visit the island's capital, Victoria.

After the breakfast served at the hotel, guests who wish may optionally join the additional Grand Towns and Cities tour (Mdina & Mosta & Marsaxlokk & Vittoriosa & Senglea & Cospicua) for 80 Euro. Our tour will take us to the central region of Malta, dominated by the historic Mdina Fortress. During our visit to Mdina, Malta's former capital with significant historical importance, we will have the opportunity to enjoy nearly panoramic 360-degree views of the island from the city's waters. Next, we will visit the historic town of Mosta, located in the heart of Malta. Mosta is famous for its impressive Rotunda Church (Mosta Dome). This church, featuring a massive dome built without internal supports, is considered miraculous because a bomb that fell inside it during World War II failed to explode. After our tour, our next stop will be Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village. Named after the Arabic word "marsa" meaning "harbor" and the southeast wind "xlokk," this town is known for its harbor filled with traditionally painted luzzu boats, its lifestyle intertwined with the sea, and its seafood restaurants. Following this, we will visit the Three Cities (Vittoriosa – Senglea – Cospicua). These cities feature narrow stone streets, structures surrounded by walls, baroque churches, and walking paths offering sea views. They were the first area settled by the Knights of Malta in the 16th century and formed the backbone of the island's military defense line. Each city bears traces of the knights' history, Ottoman sieges, and Malta's maritime heritage. After the tour, transfer back to the hotel. Overnight stay at the hotel.
