Walking along its streets you can see the different architectural styles of its grand buildings including Norman and Baroque. Time does not seem to pass in the Silent City which is like a film producer's paradise.

After lunch, we visit the San Anton Gardens, located near the Presidential Palace, which you can admire from outside. We will have the opportunity to visit the craft centre of Ta Qali and to end the tour we can marvel at the church of Mosta with one of the largest domes in Europe. Overnight stay.

Malta – Valleta - Malta
Breakfast. Our half-day tour begins walking along the bustling streets of Valletta, allowing you to discover the charm and beauty of this fortified city built by the Knights of St. John in 1566. The Order of the Knights ruled the islands for 268 years leaving a unique cultural heritage with Valletta being the prime example. We first visit the Upper Barrakka Gardens where you can admire the view of the Grand Harbour. Walking down Republic Street we pass by the GrandMaster's Palace and St. George's Square, recently restored, before concluding with the audiovisual show "The Malta Experience", where you can learn more about the history of Malta through the centuries and which you can relive here. Remainder of the time to be spent at your leisure. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Malta - Gozo - Malta
After breakfast, departure for a full day excursion with lunch included. After a short journey of about 20 minutes, we moor at the port of Mgarr which immediately gives you that unique taste of Gozo. Your guide will take you to the megalithic temple complex of Ggantija, the oldest buildings of their kind in the world. They are said to be older than the pyramids of Egypt. Then we visit the Citadel in Victoria, Xlendi Bay and the inland sea in Dwejra. Gozo is well known for its handmade crafts, especially for its lace and bobbin lace. Those who visit this island are surely struck by the greenery of its countryside, its serenity and the stark contrast with the larger island of Malta. Overnight stay at the hotel.
