Malta and Gozo are home to seven megalithic temples, all of which are designated as world heritage sites by UNESCO. These megalithic temples date back 5500 years ago and are the oldest free-standing stone structures in the world, even older than the Stonehenge and the Pyramids. You will first drive to Ghar Dalam. The history of the cave and that of the islands can be decoded from Ghar Dalam's stratigraphy.
The lowermost layers, more than 500,000 years old, contained the fossil bones of dwarf elephants, hippopotami and micro-mammals. You will then visit Hagar Qim & Mnajdra Temples. The megalithic complex of Hagar Qim is located atop a hill on the southern edge of the Island, on a ridge capped in soft globigerina limestone. All exposed rock on the island was deposited during the Oligocene and Miocene periods of geological time.
This is the only tour available in Malta which is dedicated to Malta's British history. During the tour, we will discuss why the British came to Malta, what happened and why they left. The tour will begin in Vittoriosa where we will see the fortifications which date back to the times of the Knights and were later used by the British for their defensive purpose. We will visit the make like, underground Air Raid shelters and relive the conditions of what has been referred to as the Second Great Siege of Malta. These subterranean bomb shelters were excavated in the solid rock and were extended as the war progressed.
After we will walk to the upper Barrakka Garden which enjoys a spectacular view of the Grand Harbour, which was a British military base and the main reason why Malta came under fire as soon as Mussolini declared war on the Allied forces. A walk around the streets of Valletta will take us by the Palace which was used by Napoleon Bonaparte, the second world war Victory (soup) kitchen, Queen Victoria's statue, and the ruins of the Royal Opera House which was destroyed at the peak of the bombings in Malta. After some free time, we will walk to the lower level of Valletta to the Malta War Museum. The museum itself is situated at Fort St. Elmo, an original defensive system built by the Knights.
This tour is both a visit to Valletta, impressive during the night, and a tour through the most spectral and mysterious side, the ghosts which inhabit it. You will visit the streets of the Malta's capital dismissing the current population and moving to past times (not always so distant) and through buildings and corners get to know some of the stories which have laid the foundation of the city, as much as the Order of Saint John and the British Occupation, like the haunted house of Saint Ursula, the ghost of the Co-Cathedral or the spirit of the preist in Republic Street, among others. You will also have free time to enjoy this charmed city with its more physic and palpable inhabitants and commodities.
Step back through the mists of time as you drive to the fortress of Cottonera which is widely known as the Three Cities, these being Vittoriosa, Cospicua & Senglea. These cities were built and fortified by the Knights of Malta. You first start with an informative drive through Cospicua. Cospicua has been inhabited since Neolithic times. Prior to the 18th Century it was known as Bormla, a name which is still in use. Its fortification walls, constructed to protect the town and its neighbours Vittoriosa & Senglea, were built by the Knights of Malta. Construction began in 1638 but was not completed for another 70 years.
You will then visit Vittoriosa, ideally situated for safe anchorage and over time it has developed a very long history with maritime, mercantile and military activities. Prior to the establishment of Valletta as a capital city of Malta, military powers that wanted to rule the Maltese islands would need to obtain control of Vittoriosa due to its significant position in the Grand Harbour. The third city is Senglea, joined by a land bridge to Cospicua during the time of the Knights of St. John and as a result it became a peninsular in shape. During the time of the Knights of St. John, Senglea was used as a hunting area.
A detailed English commentary by the driver will help you unfold the history of Valletta and the Three Cities connected with two Great Sieges of 1565 and 1942. Tour is operated by one of the first two wooden bodied buses purchased in 1921 by the Cottonera Motor Bus Company. These buses were licensed to operate routes between Cottonera and Valletta and were made by local carpenters and mechanics, later called as bus body builders. At that time the local carpenters and mechanics were encouraged to build bus bodies so that the company Cottoners Motor Bus Co. could increase its fleet rapidly.
As soon as you arrive at the Bird Park, the guide will offer a tour around the grounds with interested information about the different bird spicies. Bird Park Malta homes over 200 species of birds and other animals. Flamingos, pelicans, swans, storks, owls, cranes, parrots and many other amazing birds from around the world thrive happily with kangaroos, wallabies, antilope, meerkats, deer, genets, and marmosets.
Visitors have the opportunity to learn about bird habitat, flight, plumage cycles, displays, song and calls, territory and pair formation, nests and eggs, migration and much more, while having the chance to observe and interact with wildlife. You will then visit the Malta National Aquarium which is located in one of Malta's most pictresque promenades.
The public aquarium has 26 display tanks with, amongs others, Mediterranean fish, including fish commonly found in the Maltese waters together with replicas of historical artefacts that one can find in the seas around the Maltese islands. The main tank of the aquarium houses species from the Indian Ocean, including eight black tip sharks, horn sharks, rays, eels and other exotic species. The main tank is approximately 12 metres in diameter and has a walk-through tunnel that allows visitors to experiece the fish at a much closer range. A stunning view of St. Paul's Islands can be seen from the Aquarium.
You will first drive to the Blue Grotto. The Blue Grotto is actually a number of sea caverns on the southern coast of Malta, west of the Wied iz-Zurrieq harbour and across the small uninhabited islet of Filfla. Every day from sunrise until about 1pm, a unique sight can be observed here. The cave's location combined with the sunlight lead to the water mirroring shows numerous shades of blue. Several caverns mirror the brilliant phosphorescent colours of the underwater flore; other caverns show a deep dark shade of blue.
If weather permits, you can do a 25 minute boat trip around the caves for an extra cost. You will then drive to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Marsaxlokk is a very popular attraction for tourists and locals because fresh fish and seafood caught during the same morning can be bought. The market is very interesting and attractive as many different items are sold. Although the market was originally a fish market, it has developed and now it also sells locally produced honey, fruit jams, wine as well as vegetables, souvenirs and clothes. Free time will be given in this picturesque village.
We depart from Sliema Ferries at 10:15am for a fun and relaxing cruise. We will first cruise along the Northern coast of Malta enjoying the views of St. Julians, Bugibba, St. Paul's Island & Mellieha. Upon arrival at the sister island of Gozo we will board a Gozo Sightseeing Bus and we will visit the Capital City Vicoria & Dwejra Bay. In the afternoon we head to the famous Blue Lagoon where you can spend time exploring the island and swimming in the tranquil turquoise water. We will leave Comino at 4:15pm and will cruise back into Sliema at 6pm.
A visit to Gozo is a must! As soon as you arrive in Gozo you will notice that Gozo is a lot different than Malta. The three hilled island is greener and more picturesque. You will first visit Ggantija, a Neolithic megalithic temple. The Ggantija temples are the earliest of a series of megalithic temples in Malta. The Ggantija temples are older than the pyramids of Egypt. You will then drive to Marsalforn where you will board the trackless train.
During the 40 minute ride you pass by Marsalforn Bay, Qbajjar Bay, Xwejni Bay, the Salt Pans and the Salvatur Statue. This area is hardly visited by tourists since no vehicles are allowed apart from this trackless train. We are sure you will enjoy this experience. You will then visit the Crafts Centre where you will have the change to taste some traditional Maltese food. Here you can also see stone works, marble and local lace.
The next stop is Dwejra Bay and then Gozo's capital city Victoria. In the heart of Victoria lies the Cittadella, formerly known as Il Castello, which has been the centre of activity of the island since Neolithic times. Dinner will be served in a restaurant in Rabat. After a tour full of experiences you will have a short ferry crossing back to Malta, and will be dropped off at your hotel.
La Valeta además de ser la capital de Malta y lugar Patrimonio de la Humanidad, es un auténtico museo al aire libre con edificios del siglo XVI. Fue construida por los caballeros de la Venerable Orden Hospitalaria de San Juan de Jerusalén y declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1980.
El nombre de Valeta se debe a Jean Parisot de la Valette para honrar su valentía al defender la isla de la invasión otomana en el año 1565. Paséate por sus animadas calles y descubre los jardines de la Barraca que brindan una vista espectacular del Gran Puerto. A continuación, visita la concatedral de San Juan y contempla La decapitación de San Juan Bautista de Caravaggio, considerada una de las obras maestras del pintor y la única pintura en la que estampó su firma.
