Malta, Gozo & Comino 8-Day Explorer
Stay in Sliema, Mdina, and Gozo to experience historic cities, prehistoric ruins, and the Blue Lagoon.
A classic twin-island route. Spend the first four nights in Sliema to explore Valletta, the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, the Three Cities, and the south coast. Next, spend a night in Mdina to experience the quiet charm of the ancient capital after dark. Finally, spend two nights on Gozo, taking an early boat from Mġarr Harbour to Comino to beat the crowds. This moderately paced itinerary is ideal for first-time visitors with a week-long holiday. Car rental is highly recommended for the Gozo portion.
June and September are the best months for swimming. The Blue Lagoon gets very crowded in July and August, and ferry schedules are reduced in winter.
