And of course, no visit to the island would be complete without basking in the golden sands of the famous Mellieha Bay or even taking a boat trip to the Blue Grotto.Head off the beaten track and you'll uncover hidden gems only the locals know. Meander through the narrow streets of Vittoriosa, watch the colourful boats bob on the water in the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, or perhaps trek the scenic Dingli Cliffs for panoramic views of the island.
