Trip Overview:
This 7-day Maltese vacation takes you to Malta to explore Valletta, Gozo, and Mdina. It features first-class accommodations and private tours.
Your journey takes you to Malta and a hotel on Silema’s seafront promenade.

You can also visit the Temples of Ggantija and the Place of Giants, some of the oldest prehistoric temples in the world. You’ll also have time to see Dwejra and the Cittadella in Victoria. Finally, in Mdina, head on a half-day tour through the narrow avenues of the “Silent City,” named because it was largely deserted once Valletta became the capital.
