What to expect

Leisure is the name of the game on Sunday mornings in Malta, and this shopping and sightseeing trip makes the most of Malta's scenery and local culture. You'll head to Ħaġar Qim Temple, gaze at the renowned Blue Grotto and visit the fishing village of Marsaxlokk to stroll around its weekly market. Micheal, one of our expert local guides, says, 'If you like to eat fish and seafood, Marsaxlokk won't disappoint. It's packed with great restaurants and market day brings the freshest produce to town, much of it picked or caught the same day.'

We'll kick off with a visit to the historic Hagar Qim Temple. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is over 5,000 years old and hints at how Malta's first inhabitants lived on the island. Then, it's on to one of Malta's most famous natural sights – the Blue Grotto of Wied Iz-Zurrieq. It's a 50-metre-deep natural cave with a huge arch that stretches out to sea. The caves get their name from the light reflecting off the water, which creates a dazzling blue colour. An optional boat trip into the grotto is available.

You'll reach Marsaxlokk – one of the most picturesque spots in the country – just as tummies to begin growling. This quaint fishing village hosts a large market down by the waterfront – make sure you check out the colourfully painted ‘luzzu' boats floating in the harbour. As well as freshly caught fish, there'll also be locally grown fruit and veg, Maltese wines, cold cuts, cheeses and leather goods. Enjoy free time here and tuck into what takes your fancy.

Excursión guiada en moto de tres ruedas al atardecer por Gozo, en Malta

Súbete a tu robusta moto de tres ruedas, conocida como Ryker, y sal a explorar las islas de Malta durante la tarde. Se dirigirá al norte de Malta, a Gozo, y parará en la isla de Comino un par de horas para relajarse en una laguna o darse un baño. A continuación, en Gozo, la hora dorada se une a la libertad de la carretera abierta mientras su guía le lleva de excursión a los lugares más destacados de la isla, como los templos, la ciudadela y las amplias bahías. Al caer el sol, deguste un plato mediterráneo con un cóctel opcional -o un cóctel si es usted quien conduce- antes de finalizar su viaje con un trayecto nocturno en ferry de vuelta a Malta.
