THREE ISLANDS - LAND & SEA

Forget coach journeys - this tour's all about seeing Malta's scenery from land and sea. First off you'll climb aboard a motorboat which will whiz you along Malta's east coast. You'll pass the Sliema Coastline the town of Bugibba St Paul's Island and Mellieha Bay. Leaving Malta behind it's onwards to the island of Comino where you'll get to see the Comino caves before crossing the Gozo channel and heading for the Mgarr Harbour. Here you'll disembark and climb into a 4x4 vehicle this time though you'll be driving along Gozo's terrain. First on the sightseeing agenda is the Xewkija Dome which is perched on top of a rotunda church that can hold a congregation of 3 000 people. Then it's onwards past the Sanap cliffs and Xlendi Bay. Your next stop is Victoria Gozo's capital city. This place is full of impressive Baroque and medieval architecture so have your camera ready. Lastly you'll make tracks for Hondoq Bay where you'll enjoy around 40 minutes of free time to relax and have a snack before heading back to the ship.
