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

| Tarxien Prehistoric Temples and The Blue Grotto |
8 hours |
|
Drive to the south of the island with the Tarxien Prehistoric Temples as the first stop.
This unique group of temples, dating from 3150 to 2500 BC, are the most complex of all temples in Malta. They comprise four temple units linked by a square court and they were the last to be built on the Islands. Their skilful construction and the elaborate design and workmanship suggest that the temple builders had gained considerable expertise over the millennia since the first phase of megalithic construction.
The temples are renowned for the detail of their carvings, which include stone idols, domestic animals carved in relief, altars and screens decorated with spiral designs and other patterns.
Your next stop will take you to the fishing village of Marsascala where you will be treated to a lunch at a restaurant renowned for it's fresh fish dishes. Following lunch the coach and guide will escort us to Ghar Dalam which literally means "Cave of Darkness" - Ghar Dalam Cave is a highly important site as it was here that the earliest evidence of human settlement on Malta, some 7,400 years ago, was discovered.
The history of the cave and of the Islands can be decoded from Ghar Dalam's stratigraphy. The lowermost layers, more than 500,000 years old, contained the fossil bones of dwarf elephants, hippopotami, micro-mammals and birds. Above the pebble layer that follows, is the so-called "deer" layer, dated to around 18,000 years ago. The top layer, dates to less than 10,000 years and holds evidence of the first humans on the Island.
The last stop is at Wied Iz-Zurrieq a quaint fishing village nestled within high imposing cliffs. From here an optional boat trip (fare not included) can be taken to reveal the splendors of the impressive Blue Grotto - a cathedral in stone, with Nature as its architect, Blue Grotto is an immense cave adorned with deep blue waters inside after which it takes its name.
