Malta

[Flashback]

So, I just had a look at my TR on Malta. Conclusion :"Must go back!"

As it happens, I have a window of 6 days at the end of June, when I'm in France, after a cruise. I only want to go to Gozo, so currently am thinking of flying CDG - MLA on Air France, get the fast ferry from Valetta to Mgarr (Gozo), stay a night or two, then go back, probably another night in Valetta. Ideally fly back to Marseille, if I can talk myself into flying Ryanair.

I'm sure you've already found:

I was thinking maybe 5-7 days in Malta - I don't really want to be rushing. I want to see the sights but also have a bit of time sitting on a balcony looking over the sea reading my book and sipping a wine or coughtail or two

Defo at least 2 nights on Gozo.

This is the @RooFlyer mentioned.

Where did you stay? I think I want an apartment rather than a hotel so I can chill a bit

I can dig out ours as well, location was good and parking was as good as you can find in the area if you do have a car. We took the car on the ferry too for our time in Gozo. Also have some tips there if needed.

We were in Malta last April for a couple of days and loved it. One of our highlights was a visit to the ancient walled city of Mdina which long ago was the capital of Malta. The historic centre within the walls is beautifully preserved (and car free), and from the ramparts there are great views over the island. It was an easy bus ride from Valetta.

Also, the water taxi ride in one of the traditional small wooden boats that run across the harbour between Valetta and the Three Cities was wonderful and really cheap
