–Marsaxlokk
Marsaxlokk is a small village of about 3,800 inhabitants, located in the south of Malta. The locality has retained an authentic charm, much better preserved than elsewhere on the island. Far from the rowdy atmosphere of the big cities, the traditional life is that of a population turned towards the sea. Fishing is the old commercial activity of Marsaxlokk. The colorful boats called luzzi (singular luzzu) are the traditional Maltese boats. These boats all have an “Eye of Osiris” on the bow to defend sinners from the dangers of the sea.
Mdina
Nicknamed the silent city, Mdina, the former capital of Malta, brings together 4000 years of the island’s history. Its 300 inhabitants, mostly descendants of Maltese nobility, lovingly maintain the most beautiful palaces in the archipelago.
You can visit St. Paul’s Cathedral, admire the view from the top of the fortifications, visit the Palazzo Falzon and why not have lunch or enjoy a delicious cake at the Fontanella Tea Garden.
