Malta Rich in Culture, Character and Colours | Sunset over Selmun Palace |
In this page I'm only writing tips that doesn't fit in the respective Cities and Villages in Malta. In here you'll find mostly general tips, general cultures, prehistoric temples, off the beaten paths and lots of sunset photos. For more in depth tips and details about certain cities such as Valletta, Mosta , Mdina, Marsaxlokk , Vittoriosa etc, please click on the relevant cities in my travel pages. All photos posted where taken by me (unless otherwise stated). Infact Malta is so compact that all the attractions you'll find inside are not more than 30 minutes away from home ( add another hour for the furthest place in Gozo, including a 30 minute ferry) !!! Your votings will encourage me to give you more tips about my country. |
