Scenic stop overlooking the famous sea caverns. Optional: short boat trip (weather permitting, ~25 min) - €10 per person.

One of Malta’s most photographed natural landmarks. The limestone cliffs and sea caves reflect the sunlight, making the water glow with intense shades of blue and turquoise. Weather permitting we can do an optional 20-minute boat ride to see the grotto up close. Best visited in the morning when the light is at its most dramatic.

Explore the Silent City: Cathedral Square, bastions, and medieval alleys.

Known as the “Silent City”, Mdina was Malta’s capital for centuries. Its narrow medieval streets, palaces, and bastions create an atmosphere that has hardly changed in 1,000 years. Highlights include Cathedral Square, the bastion views stretching across the island, and the elegant facades of noble residences. The silence and timelessness make Mdina one of Malta’s most enchanting stops.

Time permitting we can make a stop at Fontanella Tea Garden. Situated on the bastions, Fontanella Tea Garden is famous for its panoramic views over Malta and beyond to Gozo on a clear day. Their menu includes light dishes, but the highlight is their homemade cakes — especially the legendary chocolate cake. A relaxed and scenic setting for a coffee break.

Admire the third-largest unsupported dome in the world and hear the WWII “miracle bomb” story.

Formally the Rotunda of the Assumption, this church has one of the largest unsupported domes in the world. During WWII, a 500kg bomb pierced the dome during Mass but miraculously failed to explode — a story that has become part of Maltese collective memory. The interior is beautifully decorated, and visitors are often astonished by the scale of the dome. (Admission €3 per person).

We will make a final stop at the adjoining traditional Maltese café to taste Maltese sweet delicacies - such as the delicious nougat and honey rings
