Malta Coastal Walking Secrets
New
Start and end in St Julian’s on this eight day Malta walking escape – a coastal and cultural sampler with big views and relaxed pacing. You’ll explore the island’s wild north known as the fish tail, tracing spectacular cliffs, quiet coves and sandy beaches with vistas to Comino and Gozo. Expect to see ancient relics and Punic tombs, a venerable carob tree and the wildlife of Majjistral Nature Park. You’ll visit Valletta’s UNESCO listed bastions and harbours, the historic duo of Rabat and walled Mdina, and the colourful fishing bays of Marsascala and Marsaxlokk. Optional shorter walks keep things flexible throughout.
