Malta

[Flashback]

Yeah photo was just a copy. If your on Instagram look up ashcoops1 Feel free to peruse my profile links on Gozo, SQ flight etc. I dont mind sharing

- stayed at Palais le Brun, renovated beautifully and a pool
- bought the Heritage Malta Multisite pass and visited a heap of museums (paid for itself!)
- used public transport mainly


Just listing some of the highlights, and what I consider impressive and must dos (left off the ok's)
- Upper and Lower Barakka - amazingly renovated heritage and views !
- Walked most of the Valetta streets, so much architecture, colorful windows and doors
- A DEFINITE MUST is the Grandmaster Palace Courtyard - most amazing museum I have ever seen, think 7500 piece display of original medieval armor, swords and crossbows. circa 16th century St John etc!
- Silent City of Mdina and St Pauls Catacombs
- Fort St Elmo and St Angelo
- the numerous yacht berths (think Below Deck Med!)
- walked from Sliema to St Georges bay along the walkways
- tripped across the Valetta waterways in a small boat for 2EUR!
- as I said in previous post Embassy Hotel Rooftop Bar (we seek these in every city)
- Maritime museum (albeit its closed and they have an alternative on-site)
- Underground Malta tour
- Dwerja Bay Gozo
- Blue Lagoon on Comino Island - beautiful island and water (move well past the hordes!)
- Victoria, Gozo and the citadel ruins
- about 5 of the 46 Gozo churches
- * missed the salt pans !!! send a pic if you get there


Was posting several photos, but then thought I was hijacking this thread (should do own TR!), so will leave you with one of Comino Island looking back to the Blue Lagoon and Gozo in distance

Thanks a few things that I haven't seen mention before.

I always love a rooftop bar especially if they do good coughtails

Just had a look at your insta feed - feel free to add your Sicily tips here

Thread 'Sicily'

Dec 31, 2022

Any thoughts on Sicily as a destination in February? I would like to stay in the same place for a week but others have suggested that I should move around. I'm happy to drive but others have suggested not a good idea.

I did a search on AFF and it appears @Flashback @MARTINE @Anna have all been there

I'll be travelling alone

All feedback appreciated
