We will travel to Gozo, Malta’s second-largest island, departing in the early morning from Cirkewwa Port in the north of the island. During our approximately half-hour ferry journey, we will also see the country’s small islands of Comino and Cominotto. During our tour after arrival, the places we will see include Ta’Pinu Church, Dwejra, the Inland Sea, Fungus Rock, and the fishing village of Marsalforn.

Day 3 Malta – Mdina & Mosta – Marsaxlokk – Three Cities – Malta
Following the breakfast we will have at the hotel, guests who wish may join the Magnificent Towns and Cities (Mdina & Mosta & Marsaxlokk & Vittoriosa & Senglea & Cospicua) tour, which will be organized as an optional extra. (80 Euros) Our tour will take us to the central region of Malta, dominated by the historic Mdina Castle. During our tour in Mdina, the former capital of Malta and a place of historical importance, we will visit the city walls, which offer the opportunity to see almost the entire island of Malta in a panoramic 360-degree view. We will then visit the historic town of Mosta, located in the center of Malta. The town is famous for its impressive Rotunda Church (Mosta Dome). This church, which has a gigantic dome built without support in Europe, is remembered as a miracle because of the bomb that fell inside it but failed to explode during World War II. Following our tour, our next stop will be Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing town. Named after the Arabic word "marsa," meaning "harbor," and the "xlokk" wind blowing from the southeast, the town is known for its harbor filled with traditionally painted, brightly colored luzzu boats, its lifestyle intertwined with the sea, and its restaurants famous for seafood. We will then visit the Three Cities (Vittoriosa – Senglea – Cospicua). With narrow stone streets, structures surrounded by walls, Baroque churches, and walking paths overlooking the sea, these cities were the area where the Knights of Malta first settled in the 16th century and formed the backbone of the island’s military defense line. Each one bears traces of the knights, the Ottoman sieges, and Malta’s maritime history. Following our tour, transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
