Day 2 Hagar Qim - Blue Grotto
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
The whole day is free to enjoy the festive spirit at your hotel. After a leisurely morning a seasonal Christmas Day lunch can be enjoyed, after which why not stroll along the waterfront of St Julian’s Bay, where you will be able to see an attractive array of fishing boats.

This full-day excursion, including lunch, will visit the citadel in Victoria and the Bay of Xlendi. We have dinner at the hotel this evening.

We return to the hotel before lunch, with the afternoon at leisure, or you may wish to join an optional cruise to appreciate the beauty of the Grand Harbour.
