Prices in Malta
The cost of living is comparably average. Approximately 2/3 of the products consumed have to be imported from abroad. Unfortunately, the small market allows many monopolies to emerge.
There are three kinds of supermarkets in Malta
1. Snack Bars and small shops- open from 7am - 7pm (some even 24h). These shops are very expensive, but have also a good location.
2. Small supermarkets - these small supermarkets are located in residential areas. They usually open from 7am - 7pm. The prices are 10-20% more expensive then in the big supermarkets.
3. Huge Supermarkets - They are not as big as Wall-Mart/Carrefour stores in Germany, England, France, etc. but for Maltese relations they are huge. The range of goods is large and the prices are good.
Attention: There are special shops which offer only one kind of products like frozen food (Miracle Food) or farms.
During the week there are numerous vendors with small trucks in the streets in the residential areas. They sell fruits and vegetables at good prices - however these prices are not written down and tourists are often cheated.

Gnejna Bay
This bay is not far away from the Golden Bay. It can be reached on foot, with some effort, from Golden Bay, but the landscape and the cliffs make this a bit difficult. A road leads to the bay and with a car getting there is much faster.
Ferry to and from Malta
One can reach Gozo easily from Malta with the ferry. There are two operating routes from Malta to Gozo. The first and most commonly used is from Cirkewwa (Malta) to Mgarr (Gozo) and the second is from Sa Maison (near Valletta/Malta) to Mgarr (Gozo). Both routes are operated by the enterprise: Gozo Channel Ltd. The routes operate once per hour and the crossing lasts only 20 - 30 minutes.
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.
