Each stop around the island of Malta and the neighboring island of Gozo shows a new perspective of the diversity of cultures that have left their marks on these rocky islands.
Bright and almost closed houses, built of limestone with large, shady courtyards dominate the former capital of Mdina. The coastal roads are colorful and full of life. Here, life pulsates - after an obligatory siesta in the summer months. Anyone who wants to experience party life in Malta should visit St. Julians Bay with its numerous bars and clubs. DJs from different cultures play here and students from all over the world come to Malta to learn English and party at night. A few years ago, the luxury Portomaso marina was built right next to the Hilton and an elegant apartment complex.
Those who prefer to calm down at a private place can immerse the anchor in the Bay of St. Paul or in Mellieha, the largest bay of Malta. Worth seeing is the fishing port of Marsaxlokk on the south-eastern edge of the island. Standing at the anchor, you can see the colorful Luzzu - traditional Maltese fishing boats. Every day a market takes place at the seafront.
Who plans to go to the small island of Comino between Malta and Gozo, can anchor in the Blue Lagoon or San Nikola Bay. You can admire the turquoise, pleasantly warm water. The island of Gozo is much calmer than the main island. The small harbor town of Xlendi is particularly charming, through which only a long indentation, similar to a fjord, reaches the lake. On the west coast it is worth stopping at Dwejra Bay.
