25+ Best Malta Tours, Excursions and Unforgottable Trips

Looking for the best Malta tours and excursions, or looking to spend a day trip out in Malta, Gozo or Comino?

You’re in the right place.

As a tourist-turned-local, I’ve taken dozens of guided tours and excursions with various tour operators around the Maltese islands and continue to do so frequently.

There are many quality options out there, but also tour operators that are a waste of your money and time.

In this guide, I’ve collected the best tour options to help you decide on the best way to spend your time on holiday in Malta. ( You’ll also find a few discount coupons to help you save some cash!)

In this guide, I’ll cover and refer to more reviews I’ve written for:

  • Malta excursions and guided tours, including day trips around the Maltese islands
  • Boat trips and tours
  • Private boat tours
  • Private guided tours
  • Malta tour packages
  • Speciality tours
  • … and more.

One of many scenes you'll see in Valletta on some of the best Malta tours.

You’ll find a few links to recommended tours and services within this Malta itinerary. I will earn a small commission if you book via these links, but:

  • It makes no difference to the price you pay
  • It never affects my recommendations. I genuinely want you to have a memorable trip to Malta.

If that’s all fine with you, I greatly appreciate your support!

Day trips to Gozo Island

Gozo Island is a popular destination to stay in, but most first-time visitors will prefer to base themselves in Malta, taking a day trip to Gozo to get a taste of what the island is like.

It’s a great way to get to know Gozo’s natural beauty while getting guided around the best highlights and attractions, as well as a few lesser-known places of interest.

These are the options I highly recommend if you’re looking to take a day trip to Gozo.

All year round (365 days/year) – standard tours

TIP: Use coupon MALTA5 and get 5% off!

These tours pass by (but don’t stop) at Comino Island for a short tour.

  • Gozo One Day Guided Tour by Tuk-Tuk – More info and review here: Gozo Tuk Tuk tours
  • Gozo One Day Trip by Quad Bike – More info and review here: Gozo Quad Bike Tours and Rental

Tuk Tuk Gozo tour: A brightly coloured Tuk Tuk used on Malta day trips to Gozo.

Summer tours (15 May – 15 Oct)

These tours actually stop at the Blue Lagoon for around an hour so you can swim and spend some time at this popular and beautiful spot.

These tours start in the afternoon and will enable you to tour Gozo at a cooler time of day, enjoying stunning summer sunsets along the way.

  • Sunset Tuk Tuk Tour
  • Sunset Quad Bike Tour

Touring Gozo with a Quad bike should be part of your Malta itinerary.

About the tour operator

This recommended tour operator is an excellent tried-and-tested choice for an all-inclusive day trip to Gozo Island. They offer different types of vehicles: You can opt for tours on either a 6-seater Tuk Tuk, driven by a local guide, or join a Quad Bike tour, whereby you drive your own Quad and follow a lead driver.

These tours consistently get 5/5 ratings, and that’s no surprise: Their guides and drivers do a great job of showing you around and taking you to the best places around Gozo.

You get everything you need for the day (including a light traditional Gozitan lunch) and transport to/from your place of stay in Malta or Gozo. That includes a boat crossing that takes you to or past (depending on the tour and time of year) Comino.

Private Gozo Tours

Would you prefer to have a Tuk Tuk just for you and your travel companions? You can also book a private tour of Gozo (including a Blue Lagoon stop, weather permitting) with Yippee Tours.

For larger groups, they also cater for Group Tours .

The Best Malta Boat Trips and Tours

Boat tours to the blue lagoon (comino).

Comino is the smallest of Malta’s islands and is known for the bright, azure blue waters of the stunning Blue Lagoon Bay , which is a very popular tourist destination between May and October.

Although you can take a simple ferry to get to Comino Island itself, getting the most out of a trip to the Blue Lagoon is best when going there on a boat trip. Having limited space onshore at Comino, several boat tours spend most of the day there, some with stops on the way and others combining a boat trip with a few hours’ excursion on land at Gozo Island.

Here are the best options to consider. (All highly rated/reviewed and tried and tested personally!)

Aerial view of Blue Lagoon Bay in Malta.

Private boat trips

The best provider for private boat tours to the Blue Lagoon is, without a doubt, I Malta Boat Trips . Why? They provide the best value for money and offer the most flexibility.

Although you can get a private boat for just 2 hours, I would recommend these options instead:

  • Half-day private boat (3 Hours)
  • Sunset Private Boat (3 Hours)
  • Full Day Comino (6 Hours)
  • Full Day Gozo & Comino (8 Hours)

Booking a boat trip with them is easy, and an experienced skipper will help you get the most out of your trip.

About private tours

Although they’re a little more expensive, taking a private trip is the best way to go. You can charter a boat for 2 hours up to a full day (your choice), which makes for a quieter experience at a tourist hotspot. Moreover, you have the flexibility of stopping at more secluded bays as well, planning your route together with the captain before you set off.

Day trips by boat from Buġibba

There are several providers in the Buġibba (/St Paul’s Bay/Qawra – located near each other) area, but Sea Adventure Malta (my review) offers the best options, in my opinion.

( TIP: Get 5% off all their tours using coupon code MALTA5)!

  • Large catamaran with slides and underwater windows – great for families with kids
  • The same catamaran but departing in the late afternoon for a Sunset Cruise at a much quieter time of day ( – highly recommended! )
  • A smaller catamaran (the Sea Odyssey), which is a little less busy and more often chosen by couples or small groups.
  • Option 2: Beaches and Bays Catamaran Cruise – Sail on a modern (but not crowded!) catamaran to drop anchor at some of the most beautiful bays in Malta, including Għajn Tuffieħa and the Blue Lagoon on this boat trip, also offered by Sea Adventure.
  • Option 3: Hop-on / hop-off ferry with iSeeMalta , which is a similar experience to Sea Adventure but on larger (and slightly busier) boats.

The Sea Adventure Excursions boat moored at the Blue Lagoon jetty in Comino on one of its boat tours.

Day trips by boat from Sliema

Departing from sliema (ferries seafront), there are two recommended options:.

  • Option 1: Spirit of Malta Catamaran tour . Although a little more expensive, taking this catamaran is a very laid-back experience. Plus, you can easily reach the departure point from nearby places, including St. Julian’s and Valletta.
  • Option 2: Hop-on / hop-off ferry with iSeeMalta . I mentioned this provider above: They stop at Buġibba on the way to the Blue Lagoon.

Gozo/Blue Lagoon combo trips

Tight on time or don’t want to spend a full day at the Blue Lagoon? Consider taking a combo trip that takes you on a highlights tour of the island of Gozo with Yippee Tours (mentioned above). I’ve also taken these guided tours myself and can only recommend them:

  • Sunset Tour by Tuk Tuk
  • Sunset Tour by Quad Bike

(TIP: Get 5% off using coupon code MALTA5!)

Blue Grotto Boat Trips

The Blue Grotto , near the village of Żurrieq in the South West of Malta, is a stunning place of natural beauty. Apart from the many cafeterias and restaurants that line up the road going down to the sea, you can take a boat ride around the caves to see the sparkling blue of the water from where the place takes its name.

It is said that the blue hues are also the reason why the nearby village is called Żurrieq, which in old Maltese means ‘Blue’.

Although you can get a 30-minute boat ride from near the Blue Grotto itself, it’s not an easy spot to reach by public transport. That’s why I recommend visiting this spot as part of a tour that takes you to more places on this side of Malta.

The best option here is combining the Blue Grotto visit with a guided tour of the fishing village of Marsaxlokk .

More info and tickets on that tour here.

The Blue Grotto at Zurrieq (Malta) with Filfla in the background.

Valletta Harbour Boat tours

The Grand Harbour and Marxamxett Harbour contain an incredible wealth of places to see that are best admired from the sea. Being among the larger natural harbours in Europe, there’s a lot of history to this area, not least because it’s located near Malta’s capital city of Valletta.

So, if you want to take a boat trip that doesn’t take up a full day, this is a great option to consider if you want to learn a bit more about the history of Valletta and the harbour area.

There are two options I suggest:

  • Taking a full Grand Harbour tour (usually 1-2 hours) is something I highly recommend, and the best operator is iSeeMalta . More info on the tour here: Valletta Grand Harbour Cruise Malta .
  • You can get a glimpse (but no more than that) by taking one of the harbour ferries between Valletta and the Three Cities (Grand Harbour) and Valletta and Sliema (Marsamxett Harbour). Both will take just 10 minutes, but it’s a fun mode of transport, it’s cheap, and it gives you a quick impression of the area at the same time.

A popular boat tour in Malta: The Valletta Harbour Cruise.

Day trips to Sicily from Malta

Sicily being so close, you’ll find it really easy to hop between the islands. There’s much to see in Sicily, an island that has at least as much history as Malta does.

If you’re on a big trip in Europe, it’s definitely worth taking a full-day trip to Sicily from Malta .

All three are full-day excursions (early morning – late evening) provided by the same provider that operates large high-speed catamaran ferries that sail between the Valletta cruise port and Pozzallo in Sicily. When you arrive, a tour bus will take you out for a day around the island.

Option 1) Mt. Etna and Taormina

After arrival in Sicily, you’ll be taking a guided tour by air-conditioned coach to a few of the most popular locations that the island has to offer: Mount Etna and the beautiful seaside town of Taormina .

You’ll be accompanied by an experienced guide who will be providing a running commentary along the way. There will also be an opportunity to sample some of the local flavours of food along the way.

The first stop takes you up to the Sylvester Craters of Mount Etna, after which you’ll take in the views at Taormina

Get more info and book here.

The beautiful town of Taormina: A great option to visit for day trips from Malta to Sicily.

Option 2) Syracuse, Marzamemi and Noto

Exploring the eastern part of Sicily, you’ll be getting a taste of typical local village life at three locations:

  • Marzamemi is a quaint little seaside fisherman’s town with great seafood and easy-paced everyday life
  • Syracuse is one of the larger cities on the island, once founded by the Ancient Greeks. Rich in archaeological sites and steeped in history, it’s a must-visit
  • Noto is known for its beautiful Baroque architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a real treasure to visit.

Get more info and book here .

Private Malta Tours

With so much to see and learn about Malta and Gozo, taking a private guided tour is ideal to give your trip a kickstart. A private tour makes it easy to get to know different locations in Malta better, with an experienced guide who can provide deep insight, personalise your experience and answer any questions you may have along the way.

Private guided tours can be booked for a few hours, half- or full-day, and cover specific destinations in Malta and Gozo, or a custom itinerary for a full-day excursion. All arrangements will be made for you, and you’ll usually have a dedicated, knowledgeable tour guide who can help you experience a memorable day out.

Of all the private tour providers I got to know, the most professional, passionate and friendly guides are Chris and his team at My Dream Malta .

They offer a few options to choose from that I recommend.

A private tour of Valletta, Mdina or the Three Cities

This tour can be completely customised to your requirements and will take you to one of these three important destinations (your choice):

  • Valletta , the capital, is one of the most popular destinations in Malta and is full of interesting history, sights and stories.
  • Mdina is a small bastioned town on top of a hill towards the West of Malta. Once Malta’s capital city, this Medieval city is so well-preserved that visiting feels like taking a step back in time.
  • The Three Cities are located right opposite Grand Harbour from Valletta and offer a blend of history and local village life. Lots to see, experience and taste.

(If you have the time, I recommend visiting all three, whether or not on a private tour.)

A private Malta sightseeing tour

Taking this option will allow you to plan 4 to 8 hours of sightseeing with Chris and his team across different locations in Malta. They usually start with a basic itinerary that can be customised to your liking.

You’ll be able to visit a mix of popular hotspots, landmarks (such as the Mosta Dome and San Anton Gardens) and attractions but also lesser-known places and out in nature as well. Chris is a proud and knowledgeable local and knows the islands inside out.

Malta Tour Packages

If you’re looking for a full tour holiday package that includes tours/excursions, accommodation and meals for a set period of time, there are a few great hassle-free options to choose from.

This is basically a “book and go”, an all-inclusive option where you can participate in well-organised guided tours of the Maltese islands where flights, accommodation and transport are taken care of. You also get an experienced guide providing you with rich insight into the different stops and destinations as part of your chosen itinerary.

Most of these guided tours are considered “small group tours”, where you’ll have a maximum of 6-12 participants you’ll be travelling with during your stay in Malta.

These are the options I’ve reviewed and recommend that you consider. I’ve found the best itineraries and deals with Tourradar.com .

This is an example of what these tour packages are like:

Malta Discovery Private Tour (5 days)

The  Malta Discovery Private Tour  is a 5-day tour that covers the most popular areas across Malta, Gozo and Comino.

Although the itinerary is solid in terms of covering the major highlights, this is a good option for those on a time budget really. To put things into perspective: If you’re a curious traveller, there’s enough to see and do in Valletta to fill three full days.

If you have a few more days, I’d consider either taking a longer package tour or (since flights need to be booked separately anyway) adding a few extra days to stay in Gozo, for example.

View itinerary

  • Day 1: Arrival, transfer to and settle in at your hotel in Valletta
  • Day 2:  Starting in capital city Valletta (where you’ll be staying at a 4-star hotel), you’ll be visiting the beautiful Silent City of Mdina for a tour through its narrow, old streets and alleys.
  • Day 3: Next up, you’ll be heading to the Three Cities, which lies across Grand Harbour from Valletta and holds more history than Malta’s capital itself. You’ll also visit the fisherman’s village of Marsaxlokk and take a boat tour to the Blue Grotto, with its beautiful blue hues visible from within a large deep-sea cave.
  • Day 4:  Today’s main destinations are Comino (and its well-known Blue Lagoon) and a flash tour (3 hours) of Gozo, both reached by boat.
  • Day 5:  Departure

The Blue Grotto is a popular stop on various tours in Malta.

The best Valletta walking tours

Valletta itself holds enough interest to keep you entertained for three full days ( My travel guide to Valletta can show you how if you’d like to get a head start), and these recommended guided tours can help you get a primer on your first visit to the capital.

Valletta's magnificent skyline at sunset: A memorable view on popular Malta tours and excursions.

Majestic Valletta

The Majestic Valletta half-day tour is a 4-5 hour walking tour through Valletta that’s designed to take you to some of the best sightseeing highlights, including:

  • The stunning John’s Co-Cathedral , the jewel of Valletta. Built by the Knights in the heart of the capital, it’s a must-see place of worship, intricately decorated from top to bottom and housing a world-renowned collection of Carraviago paintings. ( Benefit: The entrance ticket is included, and visiting on a guided tour is a big time-saver.)
  • The Grand Master’s Palace , with its long hallways, state rooms, armoury and tapestries: A treasure trove of artefacts and symbols of power covering centuries of rule by the Knights of Malta and other foreign powers.
  • The beautiful Upper Barrakka Gardens with panoramic views over Grand Harbour and the Three Cities.
  • Various other stops along the way, with detailed commentary from experienced tour guides .

Valletta: Street Food and Culture Walking Tour

This Valletta Street Food and Culture Walking Tour is a great option if you’re not super interested in museums or prefer visiting those at another time.

The tour is focused on taking you past various landmarks and locations within the city and getting a few authentic tastes of local food on the way.

A licensed tour guide will share their knowledge with you and take you past places like Castille Place, Republic Street, Merchant Streets, the Upper Barrakka Garden and the old market, among other points of interest.

Other recommended Malta tours and excursions

Three cities walking tour.

If you’re spending more than 4 or 5 days in Malta, consider visiting The Three Cities if you want to get a feel for local village life paired with rich history.

You can get there quite easily using the ferry from Valletta or using public transport. And while you can wander around and take in the sights yourself, this Three Cities tour is a highly recommended option.

An experienced tour guide can tell you all the stories that hide in the streets and alleys of Senglea, Vittorioso (aka Birgu) and Cospicua, which make up The Three Cities together.

Wine cellar and tasting tour

What better place to sample some of Malta’s best wines than in a 400-year-old wine cellar built by the Knights of St. John?

Local producer Marsovin invites you into their cellars accompanied by a professional wine taster who will first give you a tour of how the wine is produced. You’ll then be tasting a variety of wines accompanied by a few typical local snacks, from bread to olives and cheese.

The tour and wine-tasting session takes approximately 60-90 minutes, and a guided tour of the cellar is included.

Bus tours around Malta and Gozo

Bus tours by hop-on/hop-off.

A popular phenomenon in most tourist destinations, hop-on-hop-off buses can be a cheaper option for guided tours in Malta and Gozo. If you’re looking for an easy way to get around and reach the best sights to see around the Maltese islands, this is a very flexible option.

Having said that, don’t expect much in terms of an onboard audio guide and time your visits well to avoid waiting for long at the different stops.

The tours come with a choice of nine multi-lingual commentary channels. Along the routes, there are over 30 stops and 40 points of interest, and you can hop on and hop off as much as you like.

The Blue and Red routes start from Valletta and visit sites such as San Anton Presidential Gardens, the Medieval City of Mdina, Ta Qali Crafts Village, Mosta, the Three fortified cities of Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea, the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, the Blue Grotto at Wied iz-Zurrieq (April – October) and Valletta city centre. The Green route leaves Buġibba centre every 30 minutes, passing by St Julian’s and Sliema before linking up with the Blue and Red routes in Valletta.

The main provider is iSeeMalta (who offer different types of tours and passes), and you can get a Hop-on/hop-off bus ticket for the Malta routes at €28 per day (adults – €20 for children)

Interested in visiting Gozo with hop-on-hop-off?

There’s a hop-on / hop-off route there as well, and you can buy a combo with boat and bus with the Gozo Pass (also by iSeeMalta)

You can stop at several of the popular highlights of Gozo, including Victoria and its Citadel, Marsalforn, Ta Pinu Basilica, Nadur, Ġgantija Megalithic Temples, Xlendi , Ramla Bay, Dwejra Bay (and its inland sea, Fungus Rock and more) and more.

You can catch one of these buses at the ferry port in Mġarr Harbour and make your way around the island at your own pace.

About Malta

The Maltese Archipelago comprising of Malta, Gozo and Comino lie just 90 kilometres south of Sicily and 350 kilometres north of the African coast. They offer little natural resources but possess natural, deep and well-protected harbours and it was precisely for this reason why the different Mediterranean powers, whether for trade or for control, always desired to occupy these islands. The earliest settlement of the islands is believed to be around 5200BC, evidence of which can be found in natural caves such as Ghar Dalam (meaning Dark Cave), Skorba and Ta’Hagrat which where actually open air villages. Around 3600BC early man started to erect megalithic structures which brought about an incredible Temple building period. The main temples include Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, Tarxien and of course the largest free standing megalithic structure in the world, Ggantija. Other unique structures including the Hypogeum and the Xaghra Stone Circle indicate large necropolises catering for area communities. The Temple Culture came to an end around 2500BC. Throughout the years our islands have been occupied by a number of different civilisations. One of the earliest were the Phoenicians from Lebanon (Syria), traders who made good use of Malta’s excellent harbours. The Phoenicians were followed by the Carthaginians and during the Second Punic War 218BC Malta was taken over by the Romans. The most important event during the Roman period was the shipwreck of St Paul the Apostle as told in the Acts of the Apostles 27 and 28. Traditionally it is believed St Paul introduced Christianity into Malta. The main sites connected with the saint's visit include St Paul’s Grotto, San Pawl Milqi (Roman Villa), St Paul’s Shipwreck Church and St Paul’s Cathedral & Museum in Mdina. Other interesting sites related to Roman period include large complexes of tombs, ‘catacombs’ which were used by religious communities. Worth visiting are St Paul’s Catacombs and St Agatha’s Catacombs both in Rabat. The long Roman occupation lasted until 535AD when it finally fell under Byzantine rule, later under Arab rule and then Aragonese rule until the 16th century. In 1530 the Order of St John arrived in Malta, this was the start to a 268 year rule by the Military and Hospitaller Order of St John. During their time the Knights offered the islands security, medication and jobs. This was the start of a Golden era for the Maltese Islands. The Order settled in the harbour, in a small seaside village called Birgu. They built a magnificent line of fortifications to provide adequate defence in case of attacks such as the Great Siege of 1565 when the mighty Turkish Armada was defeated. They continued to fortify the harbour and on 28th March 1566 the foundation stone of the new city of Valletta was laid. They added magnificent palaces, theatres, churches and gardens all of which you can see today. Do not miss St. John's Co. Cathedral which was the conventual church of the Order, the Grand Masters Palace and the beautiful Upper Barraka Gardens from where you can admire stunning views of the spectacular harbour. Under the Order’s rule the Maltese Islands flourished however this came to an end in 1798 when in June of that year Napoleon’s fleet cast anchor off the islands and launched an invasion. In a few hours the Order capitulated and Napoleon entered Valletta. During his short sojourn of 6 days he issued rules and regulations which the Maltese were not happy with. In fact after a few months the Maltese rose up in revolt and asked the British for help. The French troops were blockaded inside Valletta. Two years siege followed until the French capitulated and the British took over Malta. The British took the islands into the 20th century, during which time there were two world wars, independence, formation of a republic and the closure of the British bases. The largest natural harbour in the Mediterranean was excellent for the needs of the British fleet so much so that it became its home port and major modern developments took shape. During the First World War Malta was nicknamed “nurse of the Mediterranean” but the Second World War was to be a completely different story. The day after Mussolini declared war on Britain and its allies in June 1940, Malta had suffered its first attack from the air. 16,000 tons of bombs fell on the island during the war, with a loss of 35,000 buildings and over 6000 casualties. In 1942 Malta and its people were awarded the George Cross by King George VI as an official recognition of the island’s courage. This cross is part of the national flag. After the war, the political situation changed drastically. The Maltese were asking for more representational government and a much more liberal constitution. This political work was to lead to the granting of independence from Britain on 21st September 1964. On 13th December 1974 Malta was declared a republic within the Commonwealth, thus retaining the connection with Britain. Five years later, on 31st March 1979, there was the final closure of the British base in Malta. Finally, for the very first time, no foreign troops were stationed on the islands.  Malta is a member of the United Nations and also of the Commonwealth. Moreover, in May 2004 it joined the European Union.

Malta is a small country in the middle of the ocean, meaning even if you're inland it's almost always breezy - so we always recommend layers, even in summer time.

Malta Tours & Holidays

View of Paola City from Valletta Waterfront with boats in the harbour on a sunny day in Malta

Floating smack-bang and isolated in the middle of the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, minuscule Malta trots along to a charmingly laid back pace.

A consortium of 3 bite-sized islands containing countless blue water lagoons backed by stunning surrounds, the country presents a beguiling mish-mash of Arabic and European languages, architecture, cuisine and traditions - the legacy of having been alternately raided, invaded, or occupied by virtually every Western power to have attained conquering capacities over the past 2,000 years. Little wonder then that the locals are so versed in sharing their island’s spoils with the latest foreign hordes to reach their shores.

Best time to visit malta.

Malta’s summer season - stretching from April right through to October - is the best time to visit, with daytime temperatures generally sitting in the high 20s that are tempered by sea breezes along the coast.

Over July and August, the temperatures can climb above 30 degrees C - perfect for some, unpleasant for others.

From November to March, temperatures range around 16 degrees C and it can be quite rainy in December and January.

Geography and environment

Malta’s largest island (which goes by the same name) consists of low-lying, hilly and mostly arid terrain covered by terraced fields and bounded by a rugged coastline of coves, harbours and beaches.

Gozo is noticeably greener and more densely vegetated, with craggy cliffs and flat-topped hills.

Top 5 movies shot in Malta

1. gladiator.

Fans of Ridley Scott’s historical Roman epic, charting the rise, fall, rise and death of wronged General Maximus Decimus Meridius (played by Russell Crowe) will be interested to hear that the scenes of Ancient Rome and the Colosseum were actually shot in neither. Instead, a million dollar replica of the city and its illustrious fighting stadium were constructed and filmed in Malta’s Fort Ricasoli. The film, which dominated the 73rd Academy Awards, included some brilliant scenes of Rusty doing somersaults while battling tigers.

Starring Brad Pitt and Australia’s own Eric Bana, Wolfgang Peterson’s loose adaptation of Homer’s Iliad was shot almost exclusively in Malta’s Mellieha, Fort Ricasoli and on Malta’s sister island Comino. An epic tale of wanton murder and betrayal, fuelled by an illicit royal affair, the film was purportedly produced on a budget of approximately $175 million – making it one of the most expensive ever made. In a damning demonstration that people learn nothing from history, the Turkish town of Canakkale accepted Pitt's gifting of the giant Trojan Horse maquette used in the film.

3. World War Z

When a zombie outbreak threatens the planet’s very existence, United Nations worker Gerry Lane (played by Malta-crazy Brad Pitt) decides to step in. Citing inspiration from All the President’s Men and The Bourne Identity, this 'politically-penetrating apocalyptic horror film' featured scenes shot in Malta’s Valletta, Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea.

4. Orca - The Killer Whale

A captivating piece of 70s filmmaking wizardry, Orca: The Killer Whale tells the tale of a great white shark hunt gone horribly wrong. Captain Nolan, a salty Irish seadog looking to return to the country of his birth, accepts one last job to catch a great white shark for a local aquarium. But just as he is about to catch the shark, which is about to kill a canoeing scientist named Ken, a killer whale appears out of nowhere and kills the shark. Infuriated, Nolan harpoons the whale, but hits the wrong one – the whale's pregnant whale girlfriend! Understandably irate, the canny Orca bachelor now sets out laying waste to the entire fishing village; sinking boats, exploding the community’s fuel reserves, and chomping Nolan’s friend’s leg off when he attacks their seaside dwelling.The final, nail-biting scene, in which the Killer Orca lures Nolan out to the remote polar region of Labrador and sinks his boat by knocking an iceberg into it, was fabricated and filmed off the coast of Malta.

5. Swept Away

Popularly lauded as one of the worst movies ever made, Guy Ritchie’s Swept Away – starring his then-wife Madonna – marked the director’s filmmaking nadir. A right box-office disaster, the film scooped the 2002 Raspberry Awards and was the only movie ever to have won both Worst Picture and Worst remake or Sequel. What the film does have going for it is the setting, with Blue Lagoon, Vittoriosa and Mdina all featuring prominently as the stunning backdrop to the mismatched couple’s shipwrecked shenanigans.

5 Fascinating Historical Tours of Europe You Need To Plan For

V isiting ancient sites in Europe is a unique and rewarding experience that can transport you to a different time and place. Each site has its own story and history lovers can immerse themselves in the continent’s diverse and cultural heritage. From the Ancient Theater of Philippopolis in Bulgaria to the Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, Europe is home to many ancient sites that offer visitors a glimpse into the past.

Only eight small group tours are conducted each day.

4. Butrint National Archaeological Park, Albania

Butrint National Archaeological Park is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Albania.

5. Göbekli Tepe, Turkey

Göbekli Tepe is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Turkey’s Mount Germuş. Many consider Göbekli Tepe one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 21st century. The site dates to the 10th millennium BC. It is believed to be one of the earliest examples of a human-made religious structure.

Göbekli Tepe consists of a series of stone structures created by ancient hunter-gatherers. They depict various animals and symbols. The site is surrounded by a large number of stone pillars that are adorned with intricate carvings and reliefs.

The significance of Göbekli Tepe lies in the fact that it challenges our understanding of early human civilization and suggests that humans were capable of more complex social and cultural structures than previously thought.

Visiting ancient European sites is a unique opportunity to explore the continent’s history and cultural heritage. These sites provide a window into our ancestors’ lives, beliefs, and achievements, allowing us to better understand our shared human experience.

The rewards of visiting these sites are immeasurable, from the intricate architecture of the Ancient Theater of Philippopolis to the stunning Megalithic art at Brú na Bóinne. They offer a chance to connect with the past, appreciate the present, and inspire the future. You can visit some of these sites from home with a virtual tour .
