Marsaxlokk Fishing Village

Marsaxlokk is the best known fishing-village in Malta. It lies on a vast bay which is surrounded by two tongues, Delimara Point in the south-east and Benghisa Point in the south-west (behind Birzebbuga).
Marsaxlokk is a nice excursion-destination. The daily market takes place from 9:00am to 4:00pm. However, during the week the market is quite small and fewer people are there. On the weekend it grows to a huge event and the market spans all over the promenade. On Sunday it’s the biggest and the whole promenade is full of people.
The bay of Marsaxlokk is nice and filled with traditional boats, so called Luzzu- or Dghajjes-boats. The city has the biggest fishing-fleet in Malta.
Marsaxlokk is an excursion-destination - especially the market entices many tourists. The village has no hotels and only few other accommodations. Around the centre are some nice restaurants which offer fish and Maltese-specialities. Recommended and a must here are the sea food and fish, because they are very, very fresh here. That’s all about Marsaxlokk.

Malta when it rains
It’s only raining very little during the summer in Malta. In winter therefore much more. In Malta there are two kinds of rain, no rain at all or very strong rain.
Ferry connection Sliema-Valletta | Valletta-Sliema
You can’t really believe it but there is a ferry connection between Valletta and Sliema. The transfer takes 5 minutes and starts every 30 minutes or hour - depending on the season.
The Popeye village
The movie about Popeye (starring Robin Williams in his first ever movie!) was shot here in Malta in 1980. Only for the movie a whole village was constructed. The village is still there, north-westwards on the island - unfortunately it’s not easy reachable.
