🌊 Today, I want to recommend a lesser-known but stunning European travel destination - Malta! 🌟🌈 [Azure Window] Although the Azure Window is no longer there, you can still find the breathtaking Blue Hole and Blue Lagoon, where the crystal-clear waters resemble a natural palette. 🏰 [Ancient City] Take a stroll through Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage city, where every step is steeped in history, and every stone tells a story. 🌊 [Diving] If you're a diving enthusiast, Malta's underwater world is a must-see. With shipwrecks, caves, and abundant marine life, every dive is an adventure. 🍽️ [Cuisine] Don't forget to try the local rabbit dishes and seafood feasts, each bite is a taste of the Mediterranean. 🏖️ [Beaches] Golden beaches and azure waters await you, where you can bask in the sun and embrace the sea breeze.

Recently, I went to Malta, which is also attracting attention as a study abroad destination! The size of the country is not large, but the entire country is a World Heritage Site Every place was very beautiful 🤩 📍#UpperBarrakkaGardens Many cannons remain in the fortified city of Malta. Eight actual cannons remain here. On weekdays at 12:00 and 16:00, a performance is held in which soldiers actually shoot gunpowder bullets! You can see it from above for free, but since you're here, why not go inside? 🌟 (3€) Seeing the cannons up close was very impressive! After the cannon fires, you can see the ammunition storehouse and history for 30 minutes! 📍#BlueGrotto If you take a bus from Valletta, the main tourist city in Malta, and head south for about an hour, you will arrive at the Blue Grotto, which is home to Malta's version of the Blue Grotto. The captain gave us a detailed explanation and we made many discoveries! It was really beautiful❣️ From 9am, a 20-minute boat tour is held every day! (The boat departs when 8 crew members are present. 10€) This tour runs until late afternoon, but I recommend going first thing in the morning💭🌺 Because from around 10am, many people from tourist bus tours arrive, so you will have to wait your turn for the tour😢 📍#VallettaCityGate This place, which looks like just a staircase, is a holy place for ARMY (BTS fans)! Apparently, member Jimin took a photo here when he visited Malta😉 There are many souvenir shops here, and many stylish cafes on the alleys, so ARMYs and non-ARMYs should definitely visit! 📍#Valletta Malta's representative cathedral! This cathedral is designed with attention to detail from the ceiling to the floor, and you can tour it while listening to the Japanese audio☺️ (The audio guide is included in the admission fee) It will take about 2 hours to listen to everything, but don't worry! There are also toilets lol This cathedral is so impressive that the 2 hours feel like they go by in a flash. I was impressed by the beautiful paintings and sculptures🥺 📍#Lower Barrakka Garden It is about a 15-minute walk from the Upper Barrakka Garden in the first photo to reach this garden. The two names mean "Upper and Lower Gardens", but the views are completely different✨ In this garden, you can see the three beautiful cities on the opposite shore, known as the Three Cities, together, and you can also see the Mediterranean Sea! I spent about 30 minutes reading a book while listening to the birds😊 And finally, about traditional Maltese food💭 The traditional food of Malta is, to put it bluntly, "Rabbit🐇"!! ! ! ! The rabbit dish, cooked in red wine until it was crumbly, had no strong flavor and was very easy to eat ☺️ Please give it a try! #overseastravel #Europe #Malta #rabbitfood

It was a place rich in nature.
