CargandoCargandoMalta es pequeña y está llena de historia. En La Valeta, Mdina y las Tres Ciudades se acumulan siglos de caballeros, fortalezas e iglesias, y entre una y otra hay calas de agua muy clara. Las distancias son cortas, así que en pocos días se ve mucho, y la isla de Gozo queda a un ferry.
Malta in 3 daysValletta with St John's Co-Cathedral, home to Caravaggio's Beheading; Mdina, the silent walled city; the Blue Grotto by boat in the morning, when the light gets in; and Marsaxlokk with its boats painted with eyes.3 days· 6 stops
Malta in 4 daysDay four crosses to Gozo: the Ġgantija temples, a thousand years older than the pyramids, and Comino's Blue Lagoon on the way. The ferry runs every half hour and in summer there is a queue of cars.4 days· 7 stops
Malta in 6 daysSix days allow what must be booked weeks ahead: the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, a five-thousand-year-old underground temple that admits only eighty visitors a day, and two nights on Gozo to see the Cittadella without the return ferry hanging over you.6 days· 9 stops

Malta is limestone with barely a tree, and midday glare in high summer is punishing. Spring and autumn are by far the best time: you can still swim, the sights are empty and you can walk at any hour.
💡Buses reach everywhere, just not quickly
A single network covers the whole island and it is cheap, especially with the twelve-journey card or the seven-day pass. What it does not offer is punctuality: in summer they fill up and drive past. For Gozo, the ferry leaves Ċirkewwa every half hour and you only pay on the way back.
💡No heels and no bare shoulders in the co-cathedral
The marble floor is a seventeenth-century graveyard and stilettos damage it: you take them off at the door. Bare shoulders and very short trousers are also turned away, and the same goes for the churches in Mdina.
