Mellieha Bay

Mellieha Bay is located on the outskirts of Mellieha and hosts one of the largest sandy-beach stretches of Malta. The bay is very beautiful and very wide. From the beach, one can enjoy a very beautiful view over the sea and on Mellieha itself.

Several kiosks, Snack-bars, cafes and restaurants are scattered around the place.

In the bay itself, services are offered: boat rides and rental, Jet skis, Surfing equipment etc. A diving school can also be found. In the autumn/winter and on particularly windy days it is common to see many wind-surfers and kite-surfing in this bay. The wind and the waves are simply wonderful.

The beach is clean and the sand is very beautiful. Sun-beds and umbrellas can be rented on site.

The bay is very often jam-packed in summer, particularly on weekends.

Bus: 441, 645, 44, 45, 48The bus-system is very easy to understand. A bus always goes two ways, either to Valletta or from Valletta away. In front of the gate of Valletta there is a huge roundabout - that’s the main bus-terminus in Malta. Some buses are also directly linking two cities between the north and south, but most of the buses are stopping in Valletta.

Vittoriosa (Birgu)

Vittoriosa (Birgu) is probably the nicest of the three peninsulas southwards of Valletta. The city was the first settlement around this area. When the Knights of St. John arrived in Malta in 1530 they set up camp in Vittoriosa and started to upgrade the fortifications, including the Fort St. Angelo. After the Great Siege of 1565 they moved to Valletta. Birgu has nowadays a population of 3000 and the fortifications are as impressive as those of Valletta. Behind every corner you can discover something new. The best way to enter the city is through the ‘Couvre Porte’ which was restored in 2002. Above is a modern gate which breaks through the fortification of the ‘Poste de Provence’ and is used as a road for cars.

Dingli Cliffs

Short information about the Dingli Cliffs: At Dingli Cliffs there is a nice foot path - doesn’t lie to close to the edge of the cliff so you don’t need to be scared. However, there are no barriers which can stop you from going to the edge – so every care should be taken. It’s quite windy most of the time, so you should dress accordingly. There is also a small cafe.

Great Siege 1565 Malta

Karl V., Spanish king and the Kaiser of Germany gave the island of Malta as fiefdom to the Knights Hospitalizes (Knights of St. John) in 1530 with the purpose to use their powers against the godless enemies. The Turks defeated the fleet of Venice which was the biggest at that time in the Mediterranean Sea in 1538. The only galleys that could still endanger the Turks were that of the Knights of St. John. A conflict was inescapable.
