Malta or Gozo ?

Fleurpepper

I would choose Malta, much more to sea, and go for a day visit to Gozo.

Me too. Malta is lovely. Lots to see. One day in Gozo is enough.

Thank you all for your replies. I can't wait but at least i have Gibraltar to look forward to next month.

Gibraltar is interesting for a short break: The Rock, the Caves, tunnels, history and beaches too.

Don't take food up the Rock - the Barbary apes will steal it from you if they can! Even delve in your bag 🐒

We liked Gibraltar. 👍

We loved Gibralter too. Been a few times. However, we found at night it was dead, after the day trippers left and we struggled to find a place to eat. That was pre Covid.

Valletta, Malta has quite a number of ingredients of picturesque ancient buildings, narrow and precipitous streets, national costumes, local festivals and a fantastic port to dine overlooking the sea.
Chef Alex Dilling opened a Restaurant on the Port of Valletta / Grand Harbour - called RESTAURANT I-HARBOUR.
Malta has a rich history shaped by over thousands of years of successive invasions. Some of the specialties are:

Hobz Bizzeit: Fresh tomato on bread with Evoo and capers
Pastizzi: A Savoury cheese tart
Timpana: Macaroni and meat pie
Bragoli: Hearty beef roll
Imqaret: Date pastries
Wines: Order Italian wines !

Cultural:

Do visit the St. John´s Cathedral which houses the Caravaggio Masterpiece and the NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY.
Stroll along Republic Street - a main thoroughfare.
MERCHANTS STREET: The shops and markets and stalls.

GOZO: Take a day trip !

Have a wonderful holiday.
