Valletta - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
Do all the hikes. Learn how to dive. Nothing in this country is hidden, as you can drive across it the long way in about 40 minutes. You can discover all the country in a typical three-year tour if you put your mind to it. - May 2023
Ghajn tuffieha bay. Any of the above. - Oct 2018
You have to look, but you can find great things to do. Sailing, good restaurants, etc. You have to dig. Maltese do not offer information. It's like peeling back layers of an onion sometimes to get information. They're not big on details. Many newspaper articles are one column or a few paragraphs. Even on substantial issues. - Sep 2016
History, history, history... there is no shortage of cathedrals, catacombs, crypts, caves, palazzos, etc. Several forts offer tours. The beaches and views are to die for - some of the most picturesque being Golden Beach, Gjenja Beach and the old port city of Marsaxlokk. If you enjoy hiking, while not many noted trails, there are miles to explore. Renting a boat or taking the ferries to Silicy or Gozo are enjoyable. There is a new and nice small public aquarium in Bugibba. - Jan 2014
