Vibrant Vittoriosa

On a memorable trip to Malta, we took the local ferry from the capital city of Valletta across the Grand Harbour to Vittoriosa. Together with the districts of Senglea and Cospicua, Vittoriosa is oldest part of the so-called Three Cities (Maltese: It-Tlett Ibliet). These fortified villages are joined together like the umbilical chord near Malta’s historic heart.

We sailed up Harbour Creek, passing luxury yachts moored in the marina that contrasted with the backdrop of historical towers and facades of the impressive waterfront buildings include St. Lawrence’s Church and the Maltese Maritime Museum in the Ex-Naval Bakery. These fascinating places and much more are well worth exploring to find hidden gems of days gone by.

In the Blue Lagoon

On a visit to the fascinating island of Malta I set off for the day on a boat’s tour from Valletta to explore the neighbouring isles of Gozo and Comino.

The Blue Lagoon on Comino island is famous not only for its amazing turquoise waters but also because scenes from the film of the same name were recorded here. It most definitely lives up to its name.
Perfect for swimming or simply chilling with a cocktail on the beach, especially late in the day when most tourists have left.

Of course, as well as taking lots of fab photos, I couldn’t resist bathing in the crystal clear waters too:-)
