Visit Tarxien Temples, Kalanka Bay, Blue Grotto, Marsaxlokk

During this tour you will visit various places and one of them is Blue Grotto, a network of six caves, boasting the most stunning views and clearest waters the Maltese Islands have to offer. Here you can take a boat ride (weather permitting) at an extra cost. You will then visit Tarxien Temples, consisting of three separate, but attached, temple structures. The main entrance is a reconstruction dating from 1956, when the whole site was restored. At the same time, many of the decorated slabs discovered on site were relocated indoors for protection at the Museum of Archaeology in Valletta. Zejtun is also included in this program; traditionally known as Città Beland, a title conferred by the grandmaster of the Order of the Knights of Malta, Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim in 1797. The first stop is the Museum of Art and History which houses a collection of paintings, sculptures, memorabilia and archaeological findings pertaining to the parish of Zejtun and its surrounding areas. Statues and items forming part of the Good Friday Procession are on permanent display within the same museum. You will then visit Luqa Briffa Garden known in Żejtun as Ġnien tal-Kmand. A place not to miss is Marsaxlokk, a small, picturesque, traditional, fishing village in the South Eastern Region of the island. The village is known for the Marsaxlokk Market, which takes place along the seafront and for the national boats which are the Luzzu and the Kajjik. These boats serve the fishermen on fishing near the shore. Finally you’ll drive to The Delimara Peninsula which forms half of Marsaxlokk coast. The peninsula is mostly known for its two tourist oriented bays: St Peter’s Pool and Kalanka Bay. It is also known as the location of the primary power station in Malta, the Delimara power station.

Plan is to get in on a cruise ship and see as much as possible in one day. The main idea is to visit the hypogeum and as many as possible megalithic temples. To see the city- I down loaded the walking tour, then followed the map while listening to the modules and checking the photos of each stop on line. Brilliant! I am now familiar with the city, know exactly what are the stops I will spend more time on, and have the opportunity to brush up on historical points I just learned about! All before coming to Valletta! Should be a breeze! I will also have the audio on my iPad when we dock- ready to explore! Again!!!

the Hop On Hop Off could drive more often, but the pass really turned out to be a good thing. very well organised and a lot of sites to see during this one week.

I highly recommend this 7-day multi pass for a week-long Malta vacation. It brings you to all the must-see areas with just 1 voucher. Very cost-effective too.

TRIP WAS FANTASTIC, DESPITE CELEBRATIONS AND CLOSED STREETS THE DRIVERS MADE EVERY EFFORT TO GET US AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE AGREED PLACE

Liked the layout of what includes and all pricing, good communication from provider too
