Carnival in Malta
Carnivals in Malta, as we know them now, were first organized shortly after the Knights of St John came to the Island in 1535. The first that really broke out into the general jollification was probably the Carnival of 1560, when a massed Christian Armada was harbour-bound in Malta before sailing to Tripoli.
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.
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.
