Crystals by the Sea – Malta’s Ancient Salt Pans 🌞🧂

#hellohalloween Along the rugged northern coast of Gozo, near Marsalforn, the shimmering salt pans stretch out like a patchwork of mirrors reflecting the sky. These centuries-old squares, carved right into the limestone, have been used since Roman times — and still glisten with sea salt drying under the Mediterranean sun. 🌊✨ Walking along the coast at sunset, I could see locals tending to the pans, carefully scraping the salt by hand — a tradition passed down through generations. The mix of golden light, sea breeze, and geometric patterns creates a view that’s both peaceful and otherworldly. 📍 Xwejni Salt Pans, Gozo, Malta 🕒 Best time to visit: Early morning or sunset for the best light and quiet atmosphere 🚗 How to get there: A short drive or coastal walk from Marsalforn Bay — easy, scenic, and unforgettable.
