Malta Itinerary

How can you pack plenty of sightseeing into your Malta getaway--and still have time for romance? Here's a look at our itinerary for our Malta trip. (Keep in mind that our trips are generally a little busier than most couples would plan since we're mixing business with pleasure!)

  • Transfer to the Le Meridien Phoenicia in Valletta
  • Rest and walk into town to grab a quick dinner at a sidewalk café.

9:00 am

Thursday


8:15 am Depart the Hotel Phoenicia for the Cirkewwa ferry terminal to board a ferry to Gozo. The crossing takes 30 minutes.

  • Tour The Citadel in Victoria, named for Queen Victoria in honor of her Silver Jubilee in 1897.

  • Tour Dwejra and the Inland Sea, shallow water that's linked to the sea through a narrow tunnel in the cliff.
  • View the nearby Fungus Rock. The islet is home of a rare fungus called Fungus Gaulitanus; it was protected by the Knights of Malta and the British Governors because of its medicinal qualities. Anyone caught stealing the fungus was put to death.
