Departure from Malta
This hike on the north-west coast of Malta offers the chance to discover two beautiful beaches that are uncrowded in the low season. The route begins with a walk inland through cultivated plots of land, on narrow roads lined with dry stone walls where flowers abound in spring. It continues along the sea and passes two sandy beaches, Ghejna Bay and Gahjn Tuffieha, before ending at the fortified tower that guards Golden Bay.

Departure from Malta
Cliffs, sandy beaches, eroded rocks, prickly pears, small roads lined with dry stone walls and the ever-present sea: this route is a real snapshot of the island of Malta.After Marfa Ridge and Paradise Bay, the hike continues close to the sea. It allows you to appreciate the contrast between the large modern residential complexes and the more modest but picturesque buildings that dot the coastline before ending in the pretty bay of Mellieha.

Easy hike starting from Marsascala. Park at the edge of town along the shore and follow the coastline. The hike follows the ridge, so be careful not to get too close to the edge. There are some beautiful views along the way.

Departure from Malta
Saint Peter's Pool, a magnificent natural swimming pool, is a must-see in southern Malta. However, at the start of this hike, you will have to ignore the chimneys of the gas terminal and the large container port of Pretty Bay. Once you turn your back on them, the rugged coastline, small bays and remarkable rocks, as well as the beautiful Saint Peter's Pool, will quickly make you forget these unsightly sites.

Marsalforn is a charming village in the north of Gozo with a magnificent bay. On the outskirts of the town stands a hill rising to a height of about 80 metres, overlooking the surrounding area. A statue of Christ was erected on top of the hill in 1979.It is the summit of this hill that I suggest you climb during this hike. The views of Gozo and Victoria are remarkable.
