Discover the main highlights in one day!
By far the
most requested tour as the itinerary includes some of the islands main
highlights all in one day. Our first
visit during this tour is Valletta, here we include the Barraka Gardens
which offer stunning views of the Grand Harbour and magnificent
fortifications, a walk down Triq Republikka where you can admire numerous
historical buildings built by the Knights of St. John including the
Aubereges, the Grand Masters Palace and the St. John's Co. Cathedral, the
church of the order and also home to Caravaggio's masterpiece "Beheading of
St. John" amonst other treasures. After our tour of the capital
we will then visit the south west of the
island to a rural area where the ancient Hagar Qim Temple site stands circa.
3300BC. This temple is particularly interesting as it has the largest
and heaviest megaliths, some weighing a staggering 20 tons. We then
continue to our next stop and an opportunity to experience a little local
culture when we visit the pretty traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk.
Marsaxlokk fishing village is characterized by low lying buildings and the
colorful traditional fishing boats known as the 'luzzu'. A small market
lines the seafront and if you would like to sample local fresh fish there
are plenty of good quality restaurants to choose from. Our final stop during
this tour will be to Mdina. Mdina is a unique medieval city, built in
the 9th century, the city was built on a plateau in the centre of the island
and from the high bastion walls you can admire stunning views of the island.
This medieval city is a maze
of narrow alleys and magnificent architecture, the only way to appreciate
this special city is to walk through
it and admire its
living history. Our tour at this point comes to an end and we head back to
your ship.
