🏛 Light that lingers in the stone walls When walking through the old city of Malta, you come across a cathedral at the end of a small alley. More than the ornate entrance, the silence of the moment you open the door and enter is the first thing that touches your heart. The light seeping through the thick stone walls seems to silently comfort you 🌫️🪨🌿 ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🕯️ Peace of a time when there are no people In the early morning or late afternoon when all the tourists have left, the cathedral is filled with silence instead of the prayers of the believers. If you sit quietly on a wooden bench, you will feel your heart lighten just by existing. It is the power of a quiet space that is more powerful than words 📿🪑🌙 ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 🎨 A wall where art and faith meet Old frescoes and golden decorations remain throughout the cathedral. Even if you don't believe in religion, those long-standing touches and time approach everyone with reverence. One picture, one curve of the ceiling makes my heart linger for a long time 🎨🔔🕊️ ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ 💭 A moment too precious to just pass by Malta's cathedral is like the heart of the city. Even if it's not fancy, you can feel a lot just by staying quietly. In the middle of the trip, it's the place where my heart becomes the quietest. The cathedral in Malta was such a place. ⠀ ⸻ ⠀ #Malta #MaltaTravel #EuropeTravel

#ridesharingtravel Marsaxlokk (pronounced mar-sa-shlock) is all about charm: colorful luzzu boats, seafood markets, and slow coastal life. But getting there doesn’t have to mean blowing your budget on taxis or tour buses. 🚕 ⸻ 🚘 How to Ride Share to Marsaxlokk 🚗 Bolt & eCabs Malta doesn’t have Uber, but it has Bolt and eCabs — the go-to ride-sharing apps across the island. You can easily share a ride from Valletta, Sliema, or St. Julian’s and split the cost with fellow travelers. 💬 Hostel Hacks Staying in Valletta or Sliema?

Malta is not well known, but it is actually an English-speaking country! There are quite a few language schools and it is just the right size to study abroad! The capital, Valletta, is a city that retains a medieval atmosphere. It has a slightly different atmosphere from other European countries. A bit Arabic? Islamic? That's the vibe I got. Valletta is a city with a lot of ups and downs, with fortresses and many ups and downs. There are also prosperous areas and resort-like parts! You can get around Valletta by bus! From Valletta, you can take a day trip to see the Blue Grotto and go to Marsaxlokk, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and a market on weekends! In Marsaxlokk, you can see traditional Maltese boats! They are colorful and cute! The seafood is also delicious, so be sure to go! The Blue Grotto is called the Blue Grotto. You don't need to make a reservation, so be sure to go on a nice day! It was really blue...! Malta is famous for a bread called Maltese bread. It's hard and big! If you buy a sandwich in the morning, it's so big that you'll still be full even after lunch lol. It's a good idea to share it with a friend! Other than that, the crackers and some kind of paste served at the restaurant were delicious! I'm not sure what it was, but it's always served at restaurants, so please try it! Malta is also famous for cats 🐈, and there is a cat park. However, since I went in the summer, it was so hot that I didn't see many kitties... Malta is hot in the summer, so you'll need a parasol! Malta is not well known, so be sure to visit it now! #Let's go abroad #Republic of Malta #Trip to Malta #Blue Grotto #Valletta #Marsaxlokk #Blue Grotto

Fly to Malta with Emirates! There are no direct flights, so you have to transfer at least once! On the way from Dubai to Malta, we waited for passengers getting off and boarding at Larnaca Airport, so we landed and waited on the plane for about 1 hour and 30 minutes💦 Malta Airport is small, so it's easy to find. If you want to buy a bus card, it's probably easier to buy it at the airport. This time we stayed at the Preluna Hotel in Sliema! The location was quite good and the reception was very friendly, but the refrigerator in the room was not cold enough, so the prosciutto and yogurt I bought went bad, the cleaners didn't clean depending on the person, the spoon I used the day before was still in the cup, and the amenities said that there was a bathrobe, but there wasn't one, so it was a problem😭 The location is good! Mdina, Valletta, and Citadel are buildings that don't exist in Japan and were quite attractive✨ St. Peter's Pool and Blue Grotto were so beautiful and transparent that I felt like I was being sucked in, and I wanted to jump in. The ferry to Gozo was quite large and wide. You can buy a round trip ticket for the Gozo ferry on your way back or book online. I really liked the Salt Pans on Gozo! I'm looking forward to getting some Gozo salt and using it in my cooking♪ I heard that rabbit dishes are famous, but I don't eat rabbit because I'm reluctant to eat it. There are about three types of pastizzi, and the chicken, cheese, and vegetables were delicious. The Malta supermarket has a lot of cheese, prosciutto, and wine, so I was quite confused😂 The cashiers are generally unfriendly lol. You have to bag the items yourself and there isn't much space, so be careful because if you don't hurry, the next person's bags will keep coming! The vegan gelato was made like rose petals, and you could have as many flavors as you wanted, and it was refreshing and delicious. Overall, most of the staff were expressionless. It didn't seem friendly. I walked along the sea side of Sliema towards Independence Park, where I could relax while looking at the sea, and it was my favorite place. There were almost no Asians, and most of the people were European. #EuropeTravel #RepublicofMalta #CatSearchTrip

On our bus journey to one of Malta’s southern most towns - the heavens opened - not great when you’re sitting on a leaky bus! But by the time we got to Marsaxlokk, pronounced as Marsa Shlock, things were a lot calmer. This village, on the southern tip - is Malta’s largest fishing village. But it’s also famous for its colourful luzzu boats that adorn the harbour. It’s a picture perfect town, and a great place to whittle away a few hours admiring the scenery and watching the world go by. Make sure you stop for some seafood in the many restaurants that adorn this town. And of course, bring your camera. There will be plenty of photo opportunities! #malta #europe #holiday #travel

#getgoing2025 Tartarun Restaurant Lunch at the Tartarn Restaurant in Marsaxlokk was the highlight of the trip.

Malta is a small country, and you can easily get around by taxi, so why not go to Marsaxlokk on a weekend morning? A friend of mine told me about it, so we went on a weekend trip together. Just search for Marsaxlokk Open Market on Google Maps and you'll find it! A variety of souvenirs at reasonable prices that you wouldn't expect in Europe...o(^▽^)o The most recommended shop is the one selling lace and textiles near the entrance to the market (in front of Santwarju tal-Madonna ta' Pompei)! They're very cute, but for just 5€ you can buy the best souvenirs that will last you a long time. Also, if you want to buy salt or spices, I recommend looking all the way to the back before buying! Malta's specialty salt is a divine salt that makes food taste so good that it's worth buying even for 3.5€, but after walking for a while, I found the exact same thing being sold for 2.5€😇 (I bought it) Just pretend you didn't see it and keep going! ! ! ! You can take a pin-up shot with the best view (last photo). It's hard to see, but there's a stone path that juts out into the sea, so you can take the best picture! (I should have stood there...) ⚠️Make sure to research the restaurant before you go! The taste varies ⚠️It's really hot in the summer! Don't forget your parasol and water! ⚠️I went around 10am, and the seafood section was so smelly that I felt sick! The fish that were landed without ice were exposed to the sun, so I don't think it's good for them...^_^ ⚠️Even though it's surrounded by the sea, raw fish is definitely tastier in Japan. I recommend fried or grilled ones. Please go on a sunny day! #Overseas travel record

Do you know the country called Malta? It is an island country located under the Italian peninsula. It is a resort where English is the official language. I visited a natural diving spot called St. Peter's Pool located here. The water is not cold and is clean, so it is a good place to spend half a day with other travelers and have fun in the water!

🌊 Today, I want to recommend a lesser-known but stunning European travel destination - Malta! 🌟🌈 [Azure Window] Although the Azure Window is no longer there, you can still find the breathtaking Blue Hole and Blue Lagoon, where the crystal-clear waters resemble a natural palette. 🏰 [Ancient City] Take a stroll through Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage city, where every step is steeped in history, and every stone tells a story. 🌊 [Diving] If you're a diving enthusiast, Malta's underwater world is a must-see. With shipwrecks, caves, and abundant marine life, every dive is an adventure. 🍽️ [Cuisine] Don't forget to try the local rabbit dishes and seafood feasts, each bite is a taste of the Mediterranean. 🏖️ [Beaches] Golden beaches and azure waters await you, where you can bask in the sun and embrace the sea breeze.

Malta's largest fishing town On Sunday mornings, a market is held selling fresh fish and vegetables, spices, everyday clothing, souvenirs, and more! There are also restaurants where you can eat fresh Mediterranean cuisine, so be sure to check them out✨ You can also enjoy the crystal clear sea #0 yen travel autumn

Here, located in the east of the main island of Malta, hides a charming fishing port scenery - Marsaxlokk Fishing Port🌊. As soon as you step into the fishing port, you will be attracted by the traditional Maltese fishing boats in front of you. The bright colors on their ships are like a rainbow falling on the sea, making the entire port full of life and vitality🌈. Strolling along the shore of the fishing village, you will find traces of markets and restaurants. Here, you can find some unique handicrafts and taste authentic Maltese cuisine🍽️. I highly recommend searching for "Zatoka Marsaxlokk" if you come here on Sunday. On that day, the market will be more lively and the choices will be richer, making your travel experience even better 🆙! Of course, how can you miss the opportunity to go out to sea when you come to the fishing port? You can choose to take a boat trip to explore the surrounding waters and islands. Standing at the bow, feeling the sea breeze on your face, and looking out at the sea and sky in the distance, it seems as if the whole world belongs to you🌅. Whether you are admiring fishing boats, tasting delicious food, or going on a sea adventure, Marsaxlokk Fishing Port allows you to fully experience the unique charm of Malta. Come here and start your journey to Turkey! 🎉 #GlobalTravel

Access: Taxi or bus from Valletta, Malta. Also accessible by hopon hopoff bus Dining & Restaurants: Many restaurants in the area Shopping: There is a market on Sundays, but there are also many souvenir stalls on other days. I went there because I really wanted to see the gathering of colorful Lutz (boats). The eye on the tip is said to be a talisman. It was very fascinating to get a glimpse of life in the beautiful townscape. It seems that many tourists visit on weekends when the morning market is held, but it was a weekday and off-season, so it was empty. That said, it was not deserted, and there were many stalls and restaurants selling souvenirs, so it was quite lively. After enjoying a stroll around the area, we had lunch at a seaside restaurant. The platter in the photo was only 20 euros per plate, which was a great deal. #TravelingWithMe #Malta #IslandOfMalta #Marsaxlokk

#hiddengems St. Peter's Pool is a natural swimming pool located on the southern coast of Malta, near the village of Marsaxlokk. Carved into the rugged limestone coastline by centuries of erosion, this hidden gem offers visitors a secluded and picturesque swimming experience amidst stunning Mediterranean scenery. Accessible via a short hike from the nearby village, St. Peter's Pool beckons travelers with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and smooth limestone cliffs. Surrounded by jagged rocks and rugged terrain, the pool provides a natural oasis of tranquility, away from the crowds of more popular beaches. The calm, shallow waters make St. Peter's Pool ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing, attracting locals and tourists alike seeking refuge from the summer heat. Adventurous visitors can also cliff jump from the surrounding rocks into the refreshing waters below, adding an adrenaline rush to their aquatic adventure.

Marsaxlokk Bay is the busiest bay in Malta, with many local fishing boats docked. The striking blue and yellow colors are hard to miss, and the locals call them Luzzu. The prows are all painted with the Eye of Horus to bless the fishermen with safety at sea🚢. Close to the shore is a row of restaurants, which my friend says is just like the food stalls in Shanghai ! Europeans are not afraid of exhaust fumes; they love to sit on the road, eat, and bask in the sun ! Perhaps because the population is not large, it's not easy to meet people often, so everyone is busy chatting. It's rare to see people looking down at their phones📱 🚉Transportation tips: You can take bus🚌 83 or 119 to get there directly. 📝Note tips: Every Sunday there is a fish market in the bay where you can buy the freshest seafood at very low prices. Even if you don't buy anything, it's a great spot for taking photos

Every Sunday morning, the fish market at Marsaxlokk Bay, located in the southeastern corner of Malta, Europe, becomes exceptionally lively. The odor-free fish market attracts numerous tourists and locals. Seafood, vegetables, desserts, and souvenirs are abundant and so cheap that you don't have to worry about the exchange rate However, what I love most are the diverse crowds; they are the most vivid representation of the market's atmosphere ! ❤ Recommended because: Experience the local life of Malta Irresistible seafood at bargain prices 🧳 What to prepare before going: Bring an eco-friendly shopping bag and prepare cash, as the market does not accept cards! ⏳ Visiting time: 2 hours 📝 Tips to note: The market is open from 8 am to 11 am, the early bird gets the best seafood 💰 Average spending: 10 euros per person

Who would have thought that I would be browsing a vegetable market in Malta. Every Sunday, there is a famous fish market in Malta - Marsaxlokk, located on the southeast side of Malta Island. 🟧Background As early as BC, this place was already used by the Phoenicians and later the Romans. Now, this bay is filled with brightly colored traditional Maltese fishing boats—Luzzu, painted in a rainbow of colors, becoming a unique scenery of the fish market. And just like the locals, I came here early in the morning to browse the fish market. The fish market is not as big and fishy as I imagined, it's just a street by the sea. Many locals come here early on Sundays to buy freshly caught fish. Looking at the prices, they are really cheap! A whole sea fish for a few euros, and even large black tiger prawns are only a few euros per kilogram. It's a pity that our hotel does not have a kitchen, otherwise, we could really buy some and cook ourselves. Although it's a fish market, it feels more like a small commodity market. In addition to seafood, there are also vegetables, fruits, alcohol, clothing, and various other types of stalls. All kinds of small commodities are available. I also bought a fridge magnet and a ceramic placemat here. Even though we couldn't cook for ourselves, there are many restaurants around the fish market that use local seafood as their main ingredient. We also tasted one of the most delicious seafood feasts in Malta here. Such a meal costs only about sixty euros. ⏰Opening hours: Every Sunday from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm 📍Navigation: Marsaxlokk Bay 🚗Transportation - It costs about a dozen euros to take a taxi from the capital Valletta - If you take the bus, use Google Map to search for the bus route to "Marsaxlokk", with direct buses typically running once an hour

Recently, I went to Malta, which is also attracting attention as a study abroad destination! The size of the country is not large, but the entire country is a World Heritage Site Every place was very beautiful 🤩 📍#UpperBarrakkaGardens Many cannons remain in the fortified city of Malta. Eight actual cannons remain here. On weekdays at 12:00 and 16:00, a performance is held in which soldiers actually shoot gunpowder bullets! You can see it from above for free, but since you're here, why not go inside? 🌟 (3€) Seeing the cannons up close was very impressive! After the cannon fires, you can see the ammunition storehouse and history for 30 minutes! 📍#BlueGrotto If you take a bus from Valletta, the main tourist city in Malta, and head south for about an hour, you will arrive at the Blue Grotto, which is home to Malta's version of the Blue Grotto. The captain gave us a detailed explanation and we made many discoveries! It was really beautiful❣️ From 9am, a 20-minute boat tour is held every day! (The boat departs when 8 crew members are present. 10€) This tour runs until late afternoon, but I recommend going first thing in the morning💭🌺 Because from around 10am, many people from tourist bus tours arrive, so you will have to wait your turn for the tour😢 📍#VallettaCityGate This place, which looks like just a staircase, is a holy place for ARMY (BTS fans)! Apparently, member Jimin took a photo here when he visited Malta😉 There are many souvenir shops here, and many stylish cafes on the alleys, so ARMYs and non-ARMYs should definitely visit! 📍#Valletta Malta's representative cathedral! This cathedral is designed with attention to detail from the ceiling to the floor, and you can tour it while listening to the Japanese audio☺️ (The audio guide is included in the admission fee) It will take about 2 hours to listen to everything, but don't worry! There are also toilets lol This cathedral is so impressive that the 2 hours feel like they go by in a flash. I was impressed by the beautiful paintings and sculptures🥺 📍#Lower Barrakka Garden It is about a 15-minute walk from the Upper Barrakka Garden in the first photo to reach this garden. The two names mean "Upper and Lower Gardens", but the views are completely different✨ In this garden, you can see the three beautiful cities on the opposite shore, known as the Three Cities, together, and you can also see the Mediterranean Sea! I spent about 30 minutes reading a book while listening to the birds😊 And finally, about traditional Maltese food💭 The traditional food of Malta is, to put it bluntly, "Rabbit🐇"!! ! ! ! The rabbit dish, cooked in red wine until it was crumbly, had no strong flavor and was very easy to eat ☺️ Please give it a try! #overseastravel #Europe #Malta #rabbitfood
