DAY 1 - Sliema We'll meet the group in the picturesque resort town of Sliema and get to know one another over a delicious welcome meal. Welcome to Malta! Accommodation: The Victoria Hotel (or similar)
-
DAY 2 - Sliema - Mosta and Mdina - Sliema We'll begin our second day together with a visit to the stunning Mosta Church, before we move on to the beautiful wilderness of the Buskett Gardens. Enjoy some free time wandering the only woodland area in Malta before we continue to the island's old capital: Mdina, also known as the 'silent city'. Here we'll explore the extraordinary mix of medieval and Baroque architecture with a local guide and have some free time to enjoy lunch at our leisure. On this afternoon's agenda: an indulgent wine tasting at a local winery. You'll find it difficult to find a bottle of Maltese wine back home, so we recommend purchasing a bottle before we return to Sliema for an evening spent relaxing at our hotel or exploring the array of restaurants and waterfront bars. Accommodation: The Victoria Hotel (or similar)

DAY 3 - Sliema - Valletta and Birgu - Sliema Our third day of exploration will begin with a locally guided walking tour of Valletta. We'll stroll by the New Parliament Building, Upper Barrakka Gardens, Grand Harbour and Grandmaster's Palace, uncovering the tiny capital's rich history as we go. Then, we'll enjoy free time to wander the stunning Baroque architecture of St John's Co-Cathedral. For lunch, we'll savour a traditional Maltese Ftira meal. Continuing on, we'll visit the oldest area in Malta: Birgu - commonly referred to as Citt? Vittoriosa (Victorious City). We'll enjoy a walking tour through the city's ancient narrow streets with a local guide - visiting the likes of the Inquisitor's Palace and panoramic Gardjola Gardens. After a full day, enjoy an evening spent at your leisure back in Sliema. Accommodation: The Victoria Hotel (or similar)

DAY 4 - Sliema Today is yours to spend entirely at your leisure. You may want to explore on a harbour cruise around the ports of Valletta - a natural treasure trove for photographers.

This evening, we recommend venturing out in search of a waterfront alfresco restaurant for some delicious local seafood. Accommodation: The Victoria Hotel (or similar)

DAY 5 - Sliema - Qrendi and Cirkewwa - Sannat Today's agenda begins with a stop at the Hagar Qim temples, where we'll have the opportunity to explore this remarkable site with a local guide.

Enjoy a locally guided boat trip around the phosphorescent coloured bays and complex of limestone caves - before continuing on to the ferry point at Cirkewwa, with a photo stop at Popeye's Village along the way.

DAY 6 - Sannat - Victoria - Sannat Today we'll visit the spectacular megalithic temple complex of Ggantija - the most ancient temples in Malta and boasting an ancient history that's older than the pyramids of Egypt. After moving on to the imposing Old Citadel in Victoria - the ancient fortified city that can be seen from almost anywhere on Gozo, we'll enjoy a delectable Maltese lunch. Our visit to the Dreams of Horses Farm rounds off the day. There, we'll observe a cheese making demonstration followed by a guided tour around the equestrian therapy centre with a member of the team, learning how horse therapy comforts people. Later, an evening of leisure time is in store for us back at the hotel. Accommodation: Hotel Ta' Cenc & Spa (or similar)

DAY 7 - Sannat - San Lawrenz and Marsalforn - Sannat We may be nearing the end of our journey, but there's still plenty to explore! First, we'll stop to visit Fungus Rock - an islet off the coast of San Lawrenz that holds a peculiar history. After hearing the stories from our local guide, we'll move on to the unusual Xwejni Salt Pans. A 350-year-old checkerboard of rock-cut salt pans, the production of sea salt here has been passed from generation to generation and is a fascinating sight to behold. Before returning to Sannat, we'll make a refreshing stop at Xwejni Bay for a dip in the crystal-clear water. Later, we'll come together for one last dinner together, sharing stories of the week's adventures. Accommodation: Hotel Ta' Cenc & Spa (or similar)
