I was recommended by my friend. She was telling me how beautiful Malta was and here we go! I spent 4days and 3 nights in Malta. Aside from all the tourists spots, I would recommend you to visit Popeyes village. This is not somewhere that will be recommended to tourist, kinda like hidden spot. The village was built in 1980 for film and it became the major tourist attractions in Malta. Trust me! It is definitely worth to visit. The sea view and houses around were just amazing, especially during the evening. From Valletta, you can take 222 bus to Mellieha Bay, change to 237 bus to reach the village. There are many “taking picture” spots that you can explore around. Popeye Village 📍Triq Tal-Prajjet, Il-Mellieħa, Malta In Malta, I was exploring around their local food. I would definitely recommend you to try Caviar& Bull. The caviar tasted so good! Aside from Caviar, we ordered Beef Rib eyes and spaghetti as our main. The beef rib eyes was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but the spaghetti sauce was a lil to sour for us. We also ordered baked pumpkin. It doesn’t taste like normal pumpkin that we usually had. But we find it very interesting. As a coconut lover, I ordered one of the cocktail from the drinks menu. It was kinda like pineapple 🍍 + coconut 🥥. It tastes so so good and it was served with a layer of shredded coconut on top. P/s: The bread that they served before meal was so delicious and we even ordered extra portion! Haha 😆 So check it out! Caviar & Bull 📍Corinthia Hotel St. George's Bay San Ġiljan, STJ 3301, Malta What’s your favorite place in Malta? 🙌🙌 #Vacation #Village #food

In an interesting twist, one of the most beautiful villages around the world is a vamped up ’80s movie set. Abandoned not long after the filming of the 1980 musical Popeye which featured the late comedian Robin Williams, Popeye Village is now home to quaint, colorful clusters of wooden buildings, a company of actors and an array of fun activities to do. Watch shows, go on boat rides, explore the village, visit museums or go wine tasting while the kids romp at the playhouses.

The village of Popeye's located on the main island of #malta is one of the kind tourist attraction. It offers relatively small beach even without sand but the thematic buildings are so amazing. You can find everything from the animation here. Even newly-made it looks so authentic and definitely worth a visit. There is also a public bus that runs nearby. #happynewyear

Eating spinach in Malta can really grow stronger! In the reality of the Popeye Village Malta which country really has too many places that people are still unfinished, you can see the blue window, the blue hole and the blue lake "the endless blue" can be in the town You can also go to the home of the Popeye. I believe that many people are no strangers to Popeye. I think this may be a memory of every 8090 childhood. You can get a strong wave of spinach and you often have troubles to save. The protected Olivo girlfriend was impressed by everyone who saw the cartoon or movie. Even the wave was even considered by each girl to be the "best boyfriend". After all, not every boyfriend can appear the first time when you are in trouble. Malta's Popeye Village was the filming venue for the film at the time. The village never went to the scene according to the animation one by one. Although the film didn't have much report, it was recognized by a lot of comic fans until Now, it has become a new landmark in Malta that must be punched in addition to San Lan. After entering the village, you can see the movie posters of the Popeyes on both sides. The three "protagonists" stand there, taking photos with everyone who comes here enthusiastically, although the camera feels personally Not quite like, but always complete a childhood thoughts. Here, you can personally do a "bad guy" to bully Olivo, but the wave is "beat", you can take the admission ticket to the "Sailor Bar" to get a free "Sailor meal" "This is really a "canned spinach" oh ~ all the houses in the village are colorful, you can try to find the "Pois" home, and then go to him to eat something, Or go to the opposite side and climb up to the top to overlook the entire Popeye Village!

#0yentravelJanuary2025 ⭐️It looked like it was full and I thought I might not be able to sit on the terrace, but when I asked the staff, they quickly prepared a separate table for me👏 ⭐️I tried the rabbit dish, a Maltese specialty🐇! It was delicious meat with no particular smell😋 ⭐️The table seats on the street have a nice atmosphere✨ ⭐️It's a short break before going to the underground toilet, but the road is cute like a cave🤍 #0yentravelJanuary2025 #RepublicofMalta La Pira Maltese Kitchen 📍Location: 35 Triq Il-Merkanti, Il-Belt Valletta VLT 1171 Malta 🕰️Opening hours 12:00-22:00 Closed on Wednesdays

⭐️You can order a la carte or buffet style✌︎This time we had the buffet style! ※Please note that tuna🍣 is limited to 3 pieces💡Others were available without any restrictions✌︎ ⭐️Japanese food in Malta is hit or miss, but the sushi at this restaurant was delicious😋 #0 yen trip January 2025 #Republic of Malta Hi sushi Sliema 📍Location: level 1, plaza shopping center, 14 Triq Bisazza, Sliema, Malta 🕰️Opening hours 11:00-22:30

A 2-night, 3-day tour of Malta Island. Accommodation in the Sliema area. Sliema is a hub for Malta tourism centered around the ferry terminal. There are many hotels and restaurants, making it a popular area for tourists. There are many bus services, and it's also convenient as there are ferries to the capital, Valletta. Valletta is a city that feels very European, with many historical buildings remaining, and is called a World Heritage town. Since shops start closing after 2 PM, it's recommended to head there in the morning. Therefore, it might not be suitable for accommodation. I also visited Popeye Village. Since Malta doesn't have trains, we traveled by bus. The colors of the sea and buildings are stunning. The food portions are large and delicious, the sea is beautiful, and the buildings are beautiful. It's a recommended travel destination.

#100WaysOfTravel #summerdestinations #seascapes My three day Malta itinerary consisted of visiting many of the island’s top attractions. It brought me to beautiful cities, ancient historical relics, and dazzling natural attractions. Day 1: VALLETTA is Malta’s largest and most visually striking city. Deemed “a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen” upon its founding, Valletta is full of 16th-century elegance and grace. Malta’s romantic and picturesque capital city is characterized by brightly colored balconies, narrow alleyways and domed cupolas. Spend whole day exploring the cathedrals, forts and twisting streets of Valletta. In that time, I visited the Co-Cathedral of St John, strolled through the Upper Barakka Gardens, and soaked in views of the city’s pictureque skyline from its waterfront. Day 2: The Three Cities of Malta offer an intriguing insight in the island’s history. Left largely unvisited, these fortified cities offer a glimpse into Malta’s maritime fortunes. Mdina: The Silent City The mysterious gold-stone city of Mdina sits smack in the middle of the country and affords breathtaking views of the island’s arid terrain from its fortified walls. Deemed Malta’s Silent City, Mdina is characterized by shaded alleyways, arched doorways exquisite balconies and the beautiful St Paul’s Cathedral that towers over the city’s maze of golden buildings. Day 3: Southern Malta. Marxaslokk Fishing Village is a quaint and colorful fishing village characterized by its picturesque harbor. In the Marxaslokk Harbor, traditional boats bob up and down, creating a colorful contrast to the city’s golden buildings. These cheery boats are known locally as luzzus and are painted in bright, primary colors. Each boat is decorated with eyes that are said to protect the fishermen at sea. Every Sunday, the whole population of Malta seems to flock to Marxaslokk to attend the fish market–a weekly affair featuring everything from swordfish to sea bream to rockfish to clams. Then try St Peter’s Pool–a nearby swimming hole that is a favorite among locals. Had my day trip to southern Malta gone flawlessly, my visit to the megalithic temples would have been followed by a stop at the Blue Grotto. Yet, a combination of poor planning and a winter reduction in visiting hours meant that I arrived at the site’s ticket booth shortly after it had closed. It was only 3:30pm, but the last boat ride to the caves had already left a few minutes prior.

#beachlife There's no doubt Malta is amongst the frontrunners on the summer holiday charts. With great weather and location, these sunny islands in the middle of the Mediterranean actually have something more to offer. On a recent holiday we discovered that Malta has an extraordinary amount of heritage structures. In fact officially it boasts the highest density of UNESCO structures worldwide. While the Grand Harbor, fortifications, cathedral and other attractions of Valletta, Malta are enough to keep anyone enthralled. It is the island's beaches that are among the very best in the Mediterranean and allow it to also hold its own among the best beach destinations in Europe. The remarkably clear water, perfect for snorkeling. Strong currents in some places are a downside, but there are lifeguards and warning signs. More typical of the main island of Malta itself are wonderful beaches such as Għajn Tuffieħa. A deep cove, nearly surrounded by rolling natural hillsides, it has warm, clear water and just enough facilities to remain enjoyable but unspoiled. Renting a car on the island is highly recommended as this will help you get to some remote and stunning beaches. #beachlife #cherryblossom2024 #malta

Beautiful Malta

I recommend to visit Malta. It’s a small country, but it has a lot to offer and discover.

#freehotelstay Spent a weekend in Malta. We rented a boat for quite a cheap price and we had the best weekend ever stopping around all the islands close to Gozo and Comino.

#helloautumn Fall, just like spring, is less crowded and cheap. The temperatures are also warm enough. Therefore, it is the best time to explore the popular tourist places in Malta that would be crowded during peak season. The pleasant temperature in the fall is perfect for all sorts of fun activities. There are also several festivals that take place during this season, including the Malta Book Festival and the Malta Doom Metal Festival. Some more activities to do in Malta during autumn are: Places to Visit & Things to do in Malta during Fall 1. Visit the cathedrals, museums and historical sites 2. Attend the Mdina Grand Prix Motorsports event. 3. Look at the jaw-dropping aerobatics at the Malta International Air Show When to Avoid Visiting Malta? Winter Time Period: November – February Range of Temperature: 15°C – 16°C Average Rainfall: 60 – 110 mm The winter months of November – February are usually the coldest and wettest months. The weather in Malta during winter can be very unpredictable. One year it's relatively sunny. However, the following year it could be cloudy and rainy. That is why it's a bit of a gamble to plan a trip to Malta during winters. The winter season is a no go if you're seeking to enjoy swimming at the beaches since the seawater temperatures remain cold at 15°C – 16°C. The days are also relatively short, with an average of 5 hours of sunlight daily. However, there are many things to do and places to visit in Malta if you are willing to put up with bad weather. Things to Know Before You Visit Malta Malta is a fascinating country to visit. However, there are some things you should be aware of and prepare yourself for beforehand to avoid inconvenience during your trip. Some of them are: Pack light clothes along with a sturdy pair of shoes and sunglasses. Book event tickets beforehand to avoid exorbitant prices and unavailability. Apply for an International Driving Permit if you plan to drive around. Find out the details on the Indian Embassy in Malta. Finally, get a travel insurance plan to protect yourself financially from the loss of luggage or other unpredictable situations. #placetosee #stunningbeach #londontrip #beachparty #boracaytrip #bangkoktrip #beijingtrip #tokyotrip #shenzhentrip #sanyatrip #newyortrip ¹#hangzhoutrip #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #helloautumn

I was excited to visit Malta and get to know its culture because it seemed like such a unique European destination. Throughout the years, Malta was ruled by the Romans, Arabs, and Brits, to name a few, and you can feel the mix of cultures in everything and everywhere. I preferred to stay in Valetta, is more convenient to reach everywhere, also it was easier to move around by boat or either hop on -hop off In this case, I stayed at Tano’s Boutique Guesthouse. Ideally, you’ll want to travel to Malta in mid or late spring, early summer, or early fall to enjoy the best weather and avoid the summer ccrowd ✨I highly recommend visiting these places 📍 Valetta: it is walkable you can spend many relaxing hours wandering the romantic alleyways and exploring the city, and it’s easy to access every place. I went to the Upper BarrakaGardens first and then Lower Barrakka Gardens same. They offer a panoramic view of the Grand Harbour ( It’s nice during the sunset) 📍 Mdina: also called the Silent City, is surrounded by fortified bastion walls and sits on top of one of the highest hills of Malta. 📍 The small and picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk 📍Popeye Village: it’s a fun place with an amazingly built film-set seaside. Treat for Popeye fans and cartoon lovers. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

Vineyard in Malta. Yes, they do produce wine, and honestly not too bad.
