First Time in Malta

07-Mar-2021

Positive first time In Malta. Everything went well. My husband and I were the only tourists on that date, so we had the luck to do all the excursions just with Mr Stephen, an excellent local guide, who had showed us all sites of our interest without pushing us In hurry. The guy, has a deep knowledge of the Maltese history and culture. Our Hotel was In Bugibba less than 10 km away from Valletta, clean and huge recently refurbished. We really Enjoyed long evening walking along the beautiful 4 km long promenade just In front of the Hotel. Overall a great trip with an excellent assistance received from Soleto
