#TravelGuide #OverseasTravel #TravelCourse It's 'Malta'! It was the filming location for the drama 'Game of Thrones' King's Landing, and was selected by Lonely Planet as the 5th must-visit travel destination in the world And above all... It's a great place to travel alone! 🤍 [Recommended Malta Travel Destinations] ✨ Valletta The capital of Malta. The Baroque-style buildings and harbor scenery are so charming. • Old Mint Street • Lower Barrakka Gardens • Upper Barrakka Gardens These are the 3 recommended places! Aside from that, just walking around the city slowly is healing in itself. Emotions explode everywhere, from cafes, general stores, to souvenir shops! ✨ Comino Island You can take a boat from Valletta to Comino Island → Gozo Island! The blue sea, cliffs, and caves... It's really picturesque. ✨ Blue Grotto Unfortunately, when I went, it was closed so I couldn't go. Please check the weather and whether the dock is open in advance! 🤍 [Good season to travel] Recommended for April-June / September-October! The weather is nice and not too hot, and you can avoid the *peak season (July-August)*. There are few people and it's perfect for taking pictures. 🤍 [What's the charm of Malta?] Unlike other European beach cities, You can enjoy deep history and culture! And yet, you can also enjoy dazzling beaches and jelly-colored seas~ It may seem small and unfamiliar, but it's a country you'll never regret going to. Malta is that kind of travel destination.

It was a trip Malta 🇲🇹 We started our trip by visiting Mdina, Malta’s ancient walled city. The narrow, winding streets and medieval architecture made for perfect photo backdrops 📸 One of the best times to visit is early in the morning ☀️or late in the afternoon when the light is soft, casting beautiful shadows over the old stone buildings ✨We explored the impressive St. Paul’s Cathedral and enjoyed the views from the bastions, which gave us incredible panoramas of the island 🏝️ 📍Mdina, Malta We also took a boat 🛥️ trip to the famous Blue Lagoon, located on the island of Comino. The crystal-clear waters and striking blue hues were simply mesmerizing 🌊We arrived in the late morning, when the sun was shining brightly, allowing the water to glow. The boat ride itself was picturesque, and once there, we spent time swimming and taking photos of the surrounding cliffs 📸The lagoon is best visited when the weather is calm, and it’s less crowded, so we made sure to go early in the day or during off-peak times 😍 📍Blue Lagoon, Comino, Malta We spent a good amount of time in Valletta, Malta’s capital. The entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, brimming with history and grand architecture 🙌 The most photogenic part was the Upper Barracca Gardens, offering sweeping views of the Grand Harbour. We visited during the golden hour ⏰which gave us stunning lighting to capture the harbor and the three cities across the bay. The streets are filled with vibrant, colorful buildings, perfect for photos that capture the essence of Maltese culture 🙌 I would definitely recommend wandering around the city and discovering its many charming nooks, shops, and churches. Valletta is an absolute gem 💎for history buffs and photography lovers alike. 📍Valletta, Malta We also visited Popeye Village, the famous film set of the 1980 movie Popeye 💪 Located on the northern coast of Malta, the colorful wooden buildings and the picturesque setting by the sea were perfect for playful and nostalgic photos. We arrived just after lunch, and the lighting was ideal for capturing the vivid colors of the village against the blue of the sea 🌊If you’re traveling with kids or simply looking for something unique, this place is a must 🙌 I highly recommend Popeye Village for anyone seeking a different kind of charm in Malta. It’s fun, photogenic, and offers great memories. 📍Popeye Village, Mellieħa, Malta Malta truly is a photographer’s paradise, with so many different landscapes and historical sites to explore 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #travel #Vacation

Malta is located in the central Mediterranean. This time, we came to Blue Lagoon mainly for water activities. First, we played on the slide on the boat, and then we rode a Jet Ski! Being able to ride a Jet Ski in the Mediterranean, with waves constantly splashing, is thrilling! While driving along, you can see the vast sea and the unique rocks near Malta! The price is quite cost-effective, €60 for 30 minutes per person! Highly recommended!

#cruisetrip I recently returned from an unforgettable Mediterranean cruise, and I’m still buzzing from the experience! 🛳️ The journey took me to three stunning destinations: Malta, Cyprus, and Mallorca, each offering its own unique charm and beauty. First stop was Malta, and let me tell you, Valletta is like stepping into a postcard. The architecture is incredible, and St. John’s Co-Cathedral is a must-see. We spent the day wandering the narrow streets, soaking in the history. The entrance fee for the cathedral was around €15, but it’s worth every cent for the intricate interiors alone. Plus, the harbor views are just breathtaking. 🌅 Next up was Cyprus, where we docked in Limassol. From there, we took a short trip to the ancient city of Kourion. The ruins, especially the amphitheater overlooking the sea, were absolutely stunning. Cyprus is a blend of ancient history and beautiful beaches, and the local food was a highlight—don’t miss out on trying some traditional meze! 🍽️ We spent the afternoon lounging at Lady’s Mile Beach, a perfect spot for relaxation. Our final stop was Mallorca, where Palma stole my heart. The island is vibrant and full of life, with something for everyone. We visited the iconic Palma Cathedral, which is just as impressive as it looks in photos. Entrance was about €8. The winding streets of the old town are perfect for exploring, and the beaches, like Playa de Palma, are perfect for a lazy day by the sea. 🏖️ This cruise was everything I hoped for—stunning locations, rich history, and plenty of sunshine. Whether you’re into sightseeing, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying local cuisine, this Mediterranean route has it all. I’m already dreaming of my next adventure! ☀️ #trip #MediterraneanCruise #Malta #Cyprus #Mallorca #TravelDiaries

I got up early and took a ferry from the Cirkewwa port of Malta to the Mgarr port of this paradise-like Gozo Island (Gozo) to start my day trip to Gozo Island. 🟧Gozo Island Introduction The second largest island in Malta, Gozo, is located to the northwest of the main island, 14 kilometers long and 7 kilometers wide, it is really a small place. But when it comes to its history, it can be traced back to thousands of years ago, there were already traces of human activities here. The capital Victoria City (Victoria) with its earthy yellow buildings and those crisscrossing alleys that make people lose their way, surprisingly gives people the illusion of being in Fez, Morocco. But the local customs here are much better, the passionate and friendly Maltese give people a full sense of security. Climbing up the Citadel castle located in the center of Victoria City, you can take in the scenery of the island. You can also take a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus like me to tour the entire island. Then have a Citywalk in Victoria City. ❤️Recommended attractions on the island: 1️⃣ Citadel Castle 2️⃣Victoria City 3️⃣Blue Window 4️⃣Ancient Salt Field 5️⃣Tal Mixtar Cave 6️⃣Xlendi ⏰Tour time: 1 day ⛴️Ferry ticket: 4.5 euros (round trip) 🚌Sightseeing bus: 20 euros

Getting There - getting there was extremely easy. take a simple 3 hour flight from London. We flew with Air Malta and there are buses that go to every part of the country. plus a Ferry boat that crosses between Sliema and Valletta Attractions - main places to see is the island of Gozo and Crystal Caves. Such clear blue water Hotels - stay in any 5 star hotel, the infinity pools are beautiful Food & Restaurants - highly recommend Blue Elephant in the Hilton Malta in St Julian’s. Perfect spot for pictures Shopping - hit the high street in Valletta, you will not be disappointed! #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #malta #foodie

It is not difficult to spot olive trees while strolling the sidewalks of Valletta in the autumn. In fact, olive trees have a long history of existence in the island of Malta as they had been introduced by the Phoenician seafarers in the 1st millenium B.C. I was here in mid-October and it was just the beginning of autumn and the olives are still not too ripe. But soon, the olives will be ripe and scattered all over the ground. If you are in Malta during this time, you can certainly look out for olive picking experiences and sometimes they are for good cause too! #fallingforfall #malta #valletta #olivetrees

Beach spots on Malta that I visited while studying abroad. Malta is a small country, but it's a wonderful country surrounded by the sea and nature. Because it's a small country, you should be satisfied even with a short stay. 1. Comino Island The number one place you should definitely visit! ! The sea was so beautiful that I was moved. It never rains in the summer, so you can relax all day. 2. Golden Bay A place I often visited for school activities or with friends after school. A rare sandy beach in Malta, where there are many rocky beaches. 3. Popeye Village The location where the movie Popeye was filmed. As it was the setting for the movie, it's like a theme park. You can swim in the sea. Be careful of jellyfish. 4. Gozo Island A place you should visit together with Comino Island. This view no longer exists (the rocks collapsed a few years ago...), but you can go to the cave by boat and above all, the view is beautiful. Please visit. 6. Cafe Del Mar Malta I highly recommend this place!!! A beach club. It has a pool and a restaurant, and I get excited just thinking about it. It's a place you'll want to go to. Definitely go. #beachresort #studyabroad #beach #Malta #Europe #remoteislandtrip

The most common way to get from Japan to Malta is via Europe. The city of Malta is a lovely place to stroll around. The beaches on Gozo and Comino, as well as the main island, are a stunning deep blue. As it is an island nation, the seafood is also delicious, so why not try it with a local beer? ! #Breathtakingviews #Gourmettrip #Malta #Beach #Trip2022

Gozo is an island in the Republic of Malta in Europe. When I went on a trip to Malta, I took a day trip to Gozo. I visited an 18th century Baroque cathedral built on the site of an ancient Roman temple, which offers a great view of the city of Gozo, so I highly recommend it. #RetroCityScenery

A fishing village with colorful floating boats on Malta One of the places I wanted to go to on Malta was a fishing village with colorful floating boats. It was a little far from the town where I was staying, so I took a double-decker tourist bus that stops at tourist spots. The boats were colorful, and the color of the sea was beautiful and striking. It's a small town lined with souvenir stalls and cafes, and tourists visit. I only spent time there taking photos, but it was a place I'm glad I went to. #Seaside scenery #Summer trip#Breathtaking scenery

Malta; previously part of the Great British empire with mediterranean vibes and beautiful winding streets, it's little wander why this beautiful small island nation isn't so famous outside of Europe. Although Game of Thrones has thrust it into the limelight, and Valletta making European city culture, this is a must go destination. #newphotographer#givethanks#awesomepic#historicculture#naturalwonders#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Malta Comino Island Blue Lagoon!! You have to take a boat to Comino Island. I went to Comino Island from Gozo Island. Comino Island has such a beautiful sea color!!! And it's really great for swimming and playing. There's also a food truck, so if you're hungry, you can buy food from the food truck~ and store your belongings in a locker. If you go to Malta, you have to go to Comino Island. #MaltaTravel #WithNature #2019Travel #Sea #SeaTravel #Island #Malta #BlueLagoon

there is nothing we love more than travel 🤍 #travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#thanksgiving#awesomepic#couplestrip

Malta is the navel of the Mediterranean, floating in the sea between Sicily and Libya. An ancient temple-building civilization, later Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Aragonese occupations all made some mark on Maltese culture and left an impressive collection of UNESCO-anointed sites. Malta has a church for every day of the year. In summer, you can’t avoid the festa. All Maltese towns and villages celebrate their patron saint in style with weeklong activities leading up to feast day, which climaxes with a procession, music, and fireworks. The most impressive fireworks displays are in the south of the island, where the villages of Żurrieq, Mqabba, Qrendi, Għaxaq, and Gudja compete fiercely. Santa Marija in August brings fireworks geeks from all over, because several feasts are celebrated simultaneously, naturally with fireworks befitting the occasion. #mynovgetaway

From the middle of October to the end of December, I’ve been to Malta. It was a wonderful place! Cosy coffee shops #thepastrypark and ice cream parlors. It was almost sunny days in spite of off-season. Also, it was safe and easy to walk around. #tripaway #sliema #malta #valletta #tripaway

Malta comino island blue lagoon blue reef blue lake blue lagoon is my favorite place in Malta, I love the blue, mint blue, I want to call her Malta blue. Malta has three blues and is also a must-have place. Blue window, blue hole, blue lake. This is the Blue Lake. The blue window was collapsed by the waves in 2017, so cherish the blue lake. Its like a palette that God overturned, and the beauty is suffocating. The whole seaside is a beautiful Miss Europe and the United States, everyone wearing a bikini, basking in the sun here, blowing the sea breeze. I can't hold the feast of the human body. Tour: By car to the pier to buy tickets, there are two kinds of tickets to buy. 1. Buy a yacht ticket for combo gozo, first go to comino, then take a photo here at blue lagoon. After playing, take a yacht to gozo, another island sightseeing. After sightseeing, come back by cruise. route and fare: malta-comino-gozo 14 ohms gozo-malta 4 ohms 2. Buying a round-trip ticket for comino and malta, just go straight to the blue lagoon and play after playing. Return directly to malta. route and fare: malta-comino-malta 14 ohms !! I personally recommend taking the first route, because both places are going by boat at the pier of Malta, and this place is too far from the city center, so it is best to visit the day. You don't have to come back later, arrange other places to play. So get up early, comino island is still worth spending some time to explore, the more you go inside, the better. Super suitable for making big movies.

Remember when I was young, I often started to eat spinach after watching the Popeye. After eating, I began to show off my weak biceps, and I said that I was a strong sailor. When I grew up, I found that the Popeye Village really existed, and it was in my heart of Malta. As a loyalty to the Popeye, this is definitely one of the places where you have to punch in!

#cityplaybook Malta’s architecture is a stunning mix of Baroque grandeur and Mediterranean charm. Valletta’s palaces and Mdina’s ancient streets are filled with history, while modern designs blend seamlessly with the coastline. The island’s golden limestone and colorful balconies make every building feel unique and timeless. #cityplaybook #aprilblooms #travel #malta

#cityplaybook Arrive at dawn to Mdina’s silent, golden alleys. Watch the city wake up slowly with light filtering through centuries-old stone. Visit St. Paul’s Cathedral, then enjoy cake and coffee at Fontanella with a panoramic view. Walk the bastions, then wander to Rabat for hidden catacombs and fresh pastizzi from Crystal Palace. As the city empties by nightfall, take one more quiet walk—the silence here feels sacred.

#cityplaybook Start with a waterfront jog or coffee on the Sliema Promenade. Watch early swimmers take their morning dip. Explore boutique shops and stop at The Grassy Hopper for a healthy brunch. Take the ferry to Valletta for a quick city fix, then return for a sunset swim at Fond Ghadir Beach. Have dinner by the sea—grilled octopus and local wine—and end the night people-watching with gelato on a bench by the water.

#cityplaybook Catch the early ferry to Gozo. Begin with a swim in Ramla Bay’s red sand, then hike to Tal-Mixta Cave for epic views. Explore the citadel in Victoria, then lunch on ftira in a village café. Afternoon: snorkel in Wied il-Għasri or visit the salt pans near Marsalforn. Head back to Dwejra for a golden sunset. Catch the last ferry with wind in your hair and sand between your toes—Gozo always leaves you wanting more.

#cityplaybook Start with a sunrise walk along Upper Barrakka Gardens, watching light spill over the Grand Harbour. Grab pastizzi and coffee at Caffe Cordina. Explore St. John’s Co-Cathedral, where every inch glows with baroque gold. Hop between art galleries and antique bookshops. At sunset, sip a Spritz at Bridge Bar with live jazz on the steps. End with a harbor-side dinner of fresh seafood and a walk through the quiet, lamp-lit alleys of Valletta.

#cityplaybook I recently visited Malta and had an incredible experience overall. The island is absolutely stunning, with a perfect mix of historical sites, beautiful beaches, and charming towns. Valletta, Mdina, and the Three Cities were highlights — so much rich history packed into small, walkable areas. The architecture is gorgeous, and everywhere you go feels like stepping into the past. The beaches and the Blue Lagoon were breathtaking, with crystal-clear water ideal for swimming and snorkeling. We also took a day trip to Gozo, which felt quieter and even more relaxed than the main island — well worth the ferry ride. Food was another major highlight: fresh seafood, pastizzi, rabbit stew, and excellent Mediterranean flavors. The people were welcoming and helpful, and English is widely spoken, making it easy to get around. Overall, Malta is a perfect destination if you’re looking for a mix of culture, history, nature, and relaxation. I’m already thinking about going back! #cityplaybook #postandearn #travel #uptomejourney #maltatravel #malta #aprilblooms

🏝️ Comino Island, Malta Comino Island in Malta is a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, but its natural charm is by no means small. In particular, the Blue Lagoon, with its clear emerald sea and dazzling sunlight, looks like a fairy tale. 🌊 Travel Points Snorkeling in the Blue Lagoon: The water was so clear that I felt like I was floating on the sea, and the experience of swimming with the fish was impressive. Quiet Rest: I arrived in the morning before the crowds of tourists, so I was able to enjoy the quiet scenery without people. Visit Santa Maria Tower: I climbed the tower located in the center of the island and looked out over the surrounding scenery, feeling history and nature at the same time. ⛴️ Travel Tips You can get there in about 25 minutes by ferry from Circewwa, the main island of Malta. Since there are many visitors in the summer, I recommend going on a weekday morning. Sunscreen, water, and light snacks are essential! #TravelPlanning #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #Malta #MaltaSea #MaltaIsland #Mediterranean #Valletta
