Valletta

Take off to this famous Mediterranean isle, blessed year-round with an agreeable climate and boasting one of the world’s most spectacular natural harbours. Delightful Malta – strategically important throughout the centuries – exudes fascination and interest, as well as a relaxed air and a genuinely warm welcome for British visitors. Our escorted tours offer you the best of the island with the chance to enjoy the charms of a highly favoured holiday haven.

You’ll stay in Qawra, on the quieter side of St Paul’s Bay, boasting fine sea-front bars and cafés, and a sandy beach fringing the bay. Your first tour explores island capital Valletta, visiting the award-winning Malta Experience and taking in the major sites, including the Auberge de Castille and the Upper Barracca Gardens. Cross to green sister island Gozo to visit the fortified capital Victoria, the ‘Inland Sea’ at Dwerja, and Ramla Bay. Discover Mdina, Malta’s ancient, fortified former capital, which stands atop a rocky bluff and its beautiful “silent city” of narrow streets lined with stone-built houses. A final excursion takes you ‘back in time’, as you explore the area across Valletta’s Grand Harbour, where three medieval ‘cities’ reflect the island’s rich history.
