  • The Capital City - Valletta

    When visiting Malta, one must explore Valletta, the island's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Valletta is renowned for its impressive fortifications, Baroque architecture, and historical landmarks such as St. John's Co-Cathedral, Upper Barrakka Gardens, and the Grandmaster's Palace. Wandering through its narrow streets, visiting museums, and enjoying the vibrant cultural scene can easily fill a day or two.

  • Mdina

    Another must-see is the ancient city of Mdina, known as the "Silent City." This fortified mediaeval town features a blend of Norman and Baroque architecture. Key highlights include St. Paul's Cathedral, the Mdina Dungeons, and panoramic views from the city walls. Visiting Mdina in the evening is particularly enchanting, as the serene ambiance and narrow, winding streets take on a magical quality under the soft glow of the streetlights.

  • Comino

    A visit to Malta would be incomplete without experiencing the Blue Lagoon on the small island of Comino. The lagoon is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and stunning natural beauty. To truly enjoy this gem, charter a boat with Aloha Boat Charters. This allows for a personalised trip around Comino, offering private access to hidden coves and breathtaking views of the coastline. The charter experience includes opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, and relaxing on the deck, making it a perfect day out on the water.


  • Megalithic Temples

    For history enthusiasts, Malta's megalithic temples are a fascinating destination. These ancient structures, some of the oldest free-standing buildings in the world, date back to around 3600 BC. Notable sites include Ħaġar Qim, Mnajdra, and Tarxien Temples. Each offers a glimpse into Malta's prehistoric past and showcases the advanced architectural skills of its ancient inhabitants.

  • Popeye’s village

    One of the main tourist destinations in Malta is "Popeye Village Malta," which is the film set of the 1980 musical production "Popeye." In Anchor Bay, the movie set was built over the final seven months of 1979.Logs cut from tree trunks were trailered overland from Holland to build this real wooden settlement, while wood shingles needed for the roof tops were imported from Canada. Eight tons of nails and two thousand gallons of paint were used by a 165-person international construction crew to complete this enormous set.
