Peters pool

Peters pool is a small sheltered bay in the south of Malta. Reaching this bay is not very easy. No buses go through; even with a car its not straight forward. On one hand the way to reach the bay is not signaled very well and on the other hand the road is very narrow. In some places almost too narrow for just one car to pass through and traffic passes both ways!

Since the road is almost a kilometer long, chances are that another car will be driving from the opposite direction – thats when life really becomes complicated!!! Foreigners would probably find some difficulties in that situation.

The bay is however very beautiful. Though mainly visited by Maltese only, on some occasions one can see the odd tourist on the bay. There isnt a real beach there but rocks and cliffs from which one can jump into the sea. One should be careful however from where to jump as some areas are shallower than others – its better to ask the Maltese for directions to the best jumping spots.

Many Maltese go there to spend all day and some even camp there. They set-up small tents and bring along their grill and cook a BBQ.

Bus route number 627 and 427 drive close to the bay, the remaining 2-3Km must be travelled on foot.

Bus: No bus route drives directly to Peters pool. The 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.

Tarxien Temple

The most popular temple in Malta can be found in the village of Tarxien and is known as the Tarxien Temple. This was accidentally discovered in the year 1916. It is said that a farmer was complaining about too many huge stones in his field - the consequence was that an archaeologist focused his attention on this field.

Armier Bay

Armier Bays location is very far in the north - it is the northernmost beach in Malta. Despite that it is very well visited in the summer. The water is crystal blue and the beach sand is white and fine. There are several kiosks and restaurant/cafes around the beach. Opposite to the beach one can see the small island of Comino and the sister island Gozo.
