Why This Trip Stands Out
This 7-day Malta trip gives the islands more depth than a quick Mediterranean stop. Valletta’s history, Gozo’s smaller villages, coastal trails, salt pans and local food all fit into a compact itinerary without spending half the trip in transit.
- Explore Malta and Gozo with a local small-group leader.
- Visit Valletta and prehistoric Hagar Qim.
- See the Xwejni Salt Pans and learn about traditional salt harvesting.
- Mix cultural sightseeing with coastal walking, swimming and local food experiences.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–2 | Sliema & Valletta
Begin near Valletta and explore Malta’s historic capital, harbor area and ancient sites before moving deeper into the islands.
Days 3–5 | Gozo
Cross to Gozo for smaller villages, coastal scenery, traditional salt pans and time outdoors along the island’s rugged shoreline.
Day 6 | Island & Coastal Experiences
Continue with seasonal island activities that can include swimming, kayaking, local food or winery experiences depending on the departure.
Day 7 | Return to Malta
Return to the main island for the final part of the trip before departure.
