Malta & Gozo Escorted Tour

Malta is a fascinating destination for Irish travellers seeking a mix of Mediterranean sunshine and deep-rooted history. On this seven-night Malta Gozo escorted tour, you will stay in the seaside village of Mellieha at the four-star Maritim Antonine Hotel & Spa. This hotel sits on a hillside with panoramic views over the town and serves as a perfect base for exploring the archipelago. This Escorted Tour is thoughtfully organised to show you the very best of Malta’s heritage and natural beauty while providing a straightforward and relaxing experience.

The holiday begins with an exploration of the island’s ancient capital, Mdina. Known as the ‘Silent City,’ its narrow medieval streets and golden-stone architecture provide a glimpse into a bygone era. You will also spend time discovering the historical harbours of the Three Cities—Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua. A scenic boat ride here offers a unique perspective of the massive fortifications that have guarded Malta for centuries. Throughout these excursions, your expert local guide will provide factual insights into the colourful history and Mediterranean influences that have shaped the islands.

Beyond the main island, this Malta Gozo escorted tour takes you across the water to the sister island of Gozo. This full-day excursion includes a visit to the prehistoric Ggantija Temples, which are among the oldest free-standing structures in the world. You will also visit the Citadel in Victoria and witness the natural beauty of the ‘Inland Sea’ at Dwejra. The pace is well-balanced, ensuring you see the famous landmarks while still having enough leisure time to enjoy the crystal-blue waters or sample local delicacies in a village square.

For those who enjoy relaxation, the Maritim Antonine Hotel offers excellent facilities including a rooftop swimming pool and a spa. While the hotel is on a slightly elevated site, it is conveniently located near local bus stops, shops, and restaurants. Whether you prefer to spend your free days by the beach at Ghadira Bay or wandering through the historic streets of Valletta, you can do so at your own pace. This tour offers great value, combining flights, accommodation, and a comprehensive itinerary into one well-managed package for a truly memorable holiday.
