Malta and Gozo offer a rich blend of history, coastal landscapes, and vibrant local culture. Throughout this journey, the influences of the Phoenicians, Romans, and the Knights of St. John are visible in the grand architecture and historic sites, especially in Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage city. Exploring Malta’s ‘fish tail’ reveals dramatic cliffs, traditional watchtowers, and panoramic views towards Gozo and Comino. Strolling through Valletta’s narrow streets offers glimpses of its historic fountains, ancient city walls, and inviting cafés. A stay in St. Julian’s provides a peaceful base with easy access to coastal walks, bustling markets, and picturesque harbours.
Crossing to Gozo, a slower pace awaits, with tranquil villages and coastal trails leading to the island’s striking natural landmarks. Walks along Gozo’s rugged coastline pass the impressive Fungus Rock, the Inland Sea, and time-worn salt pans. The medieval citadel in Victoria offers sweeping island views, while the surrounding countryside bursts with wildflowers in cooler months. A stay in the island’s capital allows for both relaxation and exploration, with inviting cafés and local restaurants nearby. This journey blends walking, history, and local flavours, offering a well-rounded experience of Malta’s cultural and natural beauty.

Spring offers ideal hiking conditions with blooming wildflowers. Avoid hiking in summer as it is hot. Fall weather is warm and the countryside begins to regain its greenery. Winters are mild, with occasional rain showers, but trails are quiet.
