About the trip
This guided tour with Just You offers a relaxed festive break in Malta, balancing sightseeing with time to unwind. Arriving on Christmas Eve, the group visits the fortified Three Cities, including Vittoriosa’s waterfront and Senglea’s promontory overlooking the Grand Harbour before a harbour cruise ending in Sliema.
Christmas and Boxing Day fall in St Paul's Bay, with a festive lunch and time at leisure or optional excursions. Highlights include Valletta’s Upper Barrakka Gardens and the Caravaggio masterpiece inside St John’s Co-Cathedral, as well as Malta’s southern coast, where the Blue Grotto caves meet the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Another day brings an inland tour to Mosta’s WWII-scarred dome, the crafts at Ta’ Qali, and the narrow streets of Mdina and Rabat with its early Christian catacombs.
The group marks New Year’s Eve with a gala dinner at the hotel, finishing with a quiet day before the flight home. The pace is steady, with plenty of free time to absorb the island’s subtle rhythms and late autumn light.
