We have included a guided half-day excursion to Hagar Qim and Blue Grotto viewpoint today. The megalithic temple complex of Hagar Qim dates back to 3600-3200BC and is UNESCO World Heritage listed. At the Blue Grotto viewpoint we see the collection of sea caverns which, at certain times of the day, mirror the phosphorescent colours of the underwater flora or show a deep dark shade of blue.
Day 3 Christmas Eve - Valletta
We embark on a morning tour through the bustling streets of Valletta, Malta’s attractive 16th century capital. We start with a visit to the gardens known as Upper Barracca, which offers a stunning panorama of the Grand Harbour, then on to St John’s Cathedral, adorned in riches that date back to the time of the Knights of Malta. At the Malta Experience, see an audio visual show telling the dramatic story of the island’s 7,000 year history. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure before dinner this evening.
Day 4 Christmas Day - St Julian’s
