The Three Cities - Senglea, Cospicua and Vittoriosa 3.5 - 4 hours

Visit the 3 cities of Malta Drive to the Grand Harbor Area where your first stop will be at the Gardjola Gardens. At Senglea you can enjoy the panoramic view that includes, from right to left, the docks, Marsa, Valletta, the entrance to the Grand Harbor and Fort St. Angelo.

The sentry box placed on the tip of the bastion, il-gardjola, epitomizes the role of the fortifications around the harbor. On the sentry box there are sculptured in high relief various symbols of watchfulness, namely the eye, the ear, and the crane bird. The inscription in Latin assures the inhabitants of the Harbor area, to rest at ease, as the tower stands guard against any hostile force that may attempt to approach Maltese shores.

Next, drive through Cospicua to the historical city of Vittoriosa where you will stop for a guided visit of the Parish church of St Lawrence, which is one of the earliest medieval parishes, and St Joseph's Chapel which served as a graveyard during the Greta Siege of 1565.

The tour will then move on in to the heart of Vittoriosa, known as Il-Collachio. This was the area of the city reserved specifically for members of the Order of St John. Within the Collachio still stand the various early Auberges, set up by the Knights on their arrival in Malta following their expulsion from Rhodes.

Your last stop will be a guided tour of the Maritime Museum with artifacts and history dating back from the Phoenician and Roman period.

The first stop will be at the Ggantija Prehistoric Temples - Ggantija Temples in Xaghra, Gozo, are one of the most important archaeological sites in Malta. The origins of Ggantija date back to the Ggantija phase (3600 - 3200 BC). The gigantic dimensions of the megaliths have always struck a chord with popular imagination. In centuries past, some locals even believed that the Islands' temples, in particular those of Ggantija, were the work of giants.

Your next stop will be at the Basilica of Ta Pinu - one of the most outstanding churches in the Maltese Islands. The most popular Shrine on Gozo, where it is profoundly believed that back in 1883, Our Lady has spoken to a devotee from Gharb named Karmni Grima. Ta' Pinu Sanctuary is a place of great devotion and is of national importance. Numerous pilgrims, both locals and tourists visit Ta' Pinu Shrine all year round.
