Baroque landmarks include St. John's Co-Cathedral, whose opulent interior is home to the Caravaggio masterpiece The Beheading of Saint John, a visit to this cathedral is highly recommended. ...read less

This morning, you will enjoy a private, half-day tour starting with the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, dotted with beautiful fishing boats and a busy market. Then you will visit the Blue Grotto, a complex of seven caves found along the southern coast of the island, across the little islet of Filfla.

The idyllic village of Marsaxlokk, with its colorful luzzus and unique character, makes the unrivaled setting for the local market. This is the perfect place to spend a Sunday morning, where you can rub shoulders with the locals as you browse through the various stalls. Then we continue our tour with a visit to the Blue Grotto (weather permitting, boat price included) and the nearby caves. Admire the whole expanse of the blue Mediterranean and the islet of Filfla.

Later, your guide will help you explore one of Malta's unspoilt villages. From the main square, the hub of the village with its parish church and band club, you will be led through a maze of winding narrow streets that all have a story to tell. Enjoy free time for lunch in Marsaxlokk, and then you will visit the Hagar Qim Prehistoric Temples.

Today, you will be transferred to Sliema, where a representative will see you onto the boat for the harbour cruise (no guide included).

The Grand Harbour was the base of the Knights of St. John for 268 years and, after their departure, became a strategic base for the British for another 170 years. The area was the scene of much of the fighting in the Great Siege of Malta when the Turks attempted to expel the Knights of St. John. The entire area was heavily bombed during the Second Siege of Malta in World War II, as the piers and military installations around the harbour were legitimate targets for Axis bombers. However, collateral damage destroyed much of Valletta and the Three Cities, causing a large number of civilian casualties.

The harbours and docks are still active, but with the departure of the British Army, the port has lost much of its military significance. After the cruise, you will have free time to explore the harbour area of Sliema on your own and make your own way back to the hotel.

Note: There is a taxi stand at the harbour area, close to where the boat leaves. ...read less

This morning, you will discover the Grand Harbour area opposite Valletta, known as the Three Cities, Vittoriosa, Cospicua, and Senglea, where the Knights of St. John first settled in 1530.

Driving past Cospicua, you will reach Vittoriosa for a walking tour through the narrow streets, shaded by historic buildings, including the first auberges of the various langues of the Order.

After the tour, you will return to the hotel for an afternoon and evening at leisure.

At the appropriate time, you will be met at your hotel and privately transferred to the airport for your flight home.
