(80 Euro) Our tour takes us to the central region of Malta, dominated by the historic Mdina Fortress. In Mdina, the former capital of Malta and a site of historical importance, we will visit the city’s bastions, which offer a nearly panoramic 360-degree view of the island of Malta. We then continue to Mosta, a historic town in the center of Malta. The town is famous for the impressive Rotunda Church (Mosta Dome). This church, with its massive unsupported dome, is known as a miracle because a bomb fell inside during World War II but did not explode. After the tour, our next stop will be Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village. Named after the Arabic word “marsa” meaning harbor and “xlokk,” the south-easterly wind, the village is known for its harbor filled with brightly painted traditional luzzu boats, its seaside lifestyle, and its seafood restaurants. Then we will visit the Three Cities (Vittoriosa – Senglea – Cospicua). With narrow stone streets, walled structures, baroque churches, and seaside promenades, these cities were the first area where the Knights of Malta settled in the 16th century and formed the backbone of the island’s military defense line. Each carries traces of the knights, the Ottoman sieges, and Malta’s maritime past. After the tour, transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
