Malta: New Year's Urban and Coastal Trekking – December 27th

Arrival at Malta International Airport and transfer to your hotel. Accommodation at Dolmen resort or similar in a standard room with half board.

Breakfast and full day excursion excursion.
Our urban trekking takes us through the streets of the city. We will visit the gardens called the belvedere of Italy, the Upper Baracca Gardens, from where you can admire a wonderful view of the great port. We will continue with a visit to the Con-Cathedral of S. Giovanni, the convent church of the Knights, rich in sculptures and paintings. In the Oratory of the Cathedral we will admire the two paintings by Caravaggio and the magnificent Flemish tapestries. Continuing, we will see other important buildings and then give customers some free time for shopping. Around lunchtime we will eat lunch in a local restaurant.
After lunch we will continue to discover the historical area known as the three cities: Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea. A tour through Cospicua leads us to Vittoriosa where we walk through the various narrow streets, in the shadow of historic buildings and churches. In Senglea we stop at the lookout from where we can admire the port from above.
Return to the hotel and the rest of the day at leisure.

Breakfast and meeting with the trekking guide for the start of the excursion of about 5 hours with packed lunch
15k | 400m + | 5h
Preferring the ring routes, our proposed Long Trekking is the one that develops inside the Majistral National Park in an excursion during which we will also visit the three most beautiful sandy beaches of Malta (Golden Bay, Tuffieha and Gnejna) with the "Their" watchtowers. The route winds along the north-west coast in a loop that offers isolated stretches of coast, wonderful views and exciting changes of terrain. Ideally, you start walking at 9.00 (for pick-up at the hotel the appointment is at 8.30).
Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight.

Breakfast and meeting with the guide for another exciting day of trekking in Gozo with packed lunch
12k | 450m + | 4.5h
Gozo is only a third of Malta's size, but nevertheless offers magnificent walks. Reaching Gozo from Malta is easy, but you have to keep in mind the transfer times (ferry-boat) which, although limited, affect the timing of the excursion. Also for this reason, speaking of Gozo, we prefer to propose the “Hike & amp; Visit” formula, in order to make the most of the day. A magnificent Hike & amp; Visit to Gozo consists of a Trekking in the north-western region of the island. We will leave from the village of Nadur (known for its grotesque carnival and for its delicious Gozitan ftiras), we will pass through the famous Ramla Bay (the Calypso beach, the most beautiful in the entire archipelago), to the spectacular Tal- Mixta and to the small and picturesque bay of Dahlet Qorrot with its typical docks carved into the stone to then return to Nadur for lunch. Ideally you start walking at 9.30 (calculating the transfer times by ferry-boat, the pick-up at the hotel is at 8.00). After the lunch break, around 3pm, we will move to the Victoria Citadel for the discovery walk. We will return to Malta around 5.30 pm.
* In the event of unsuitable weather conditions, the excursion will be replaced with another trekking
Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight.

Today's excursion takes us to the central part of Malta, dominated by the ancient citadel of Mdina. Walking through the alleys of the 'silent city' we visit the Cathedral and the imposing ramparts, which offer a splendid panoramic view of the island.
We leave Mdina through the 'Greek Gate' and proceed to Rabat. From here we continue to the Dingli cliffs. After lunch we visit the botanical gardens of San Anton and the rotunda church of Mosta with its imposing dome. Included in the program is a stop at the crafts village in Ta 'Qali with free time for shopping.
