About the trip
Riviera Travel's seven-night escorted tour starts with Malta’s capital, Valletta, where the city’s resilience speaks through its unaltered fortifications and marble-clad Cathedral of Saint John, home to Caravaggio’s rare signed painting. After a coffee break, a demonstration at the Saluting Battery gives a tangible sense of the city’s military heritage before free time to explore other museums or simply watch daily life unfold from a café.
A day spent on Gozo introduces the quieter pace of Malta's sister island, from the walled capital of Victoria to the spectacular remnants of the Ggantija Temples, older than Stonehenge. The coastal walk near Dwejra Bay recalls a structure lost to the sea, providing a contrast between natural forces and human history.
Later days include visits to the ancient catacombs of Rabat and the fortified Mdina, a wine estate showcasing Maltese vintages, and the hilltop temples of Ħaġar Qim. The tour closes with a stroll through Marsaxlokk’s fishing village and an insight into the craft of local limestone and limoncello at Limestone Heritage. It is a measured pace that allows you to note the everyday among the historic.
