Any Walkie suggestion for the Spring and Autumn? We have a few!
Malta is not only about beaches, historical or cultural
sites, but its landscapes can also be really captivating for those travellers who love to
have long treks and walkies too! And when is the best time to explore the
islands by walk? Spring and Autumn are definitely the winning seasons.
1- Victoria
lines: Fomm Ir-Rih to Bahar ic-Caghaq
This long, 30-km coast-to-coast hike follows the remnants of
the Victoria Lines, British-built fortified walls that looks like a little Chinese
wall! Begin at Wild Fomm Ir-Rih (or at Mgarr easier access with public
transport), and follow the walls through cliffs and valleys to Bahar ic-Caghaq.
2- Siggiewi to
Dingli
This walk (10km) takes in the stunning Dingli Cliffs. Begin
in Siggiewi, pass the pretty chapel of Tal-Providenza, and reach the cliffs at
the Underground Chapel. Follow the cliffs to reach the giant golf ball of Dingli
radar station at their highest point. Continue on to Dingli to pick up the bus
back.
3- Circuit of
Comino
This 8-km walk takes a couple of hours. Begin at the Blue
Lagoon and take the dirt road to Santa Marija Bay. Follow the curve of the
headland (no marked path) to the highest point of Comino. Walk towards St
Mary’s Battery then continues around the coast to the Comino Tower and back to
the Blue Lagoon.
4- Delimara
Point
A circular 8-km walk from Marsaxlokk takes in both sides of
the point. Make for the bay of IL-Hofra Zghira, follow the coast to Peter’s
Pool for a dip, then to Delimara Point. Return the other side for views of
Marsaxlokk Bay.
5- Selmun and
Mistra Bay
Our walk starts from Selmun Palace (nearest bus stop to
arrive here is Barkazza otherwise you can drive and park at the chapel) from
here we walk the valley to reach Imgiebah
Bay, a beautiful and less known sandy beach. We then continue to walk along
the coast to our right side reaching Fort Campbell and the Salt Pans of
Il-Blata Il-Bajda with beautiful views to St
Paul Island.
Continue the easy coast path to reach Mistra bay. Passing on the beach and hiking up the hill you will find a cave formation on the ground.
There are many other hikes and walks that you can do around the Maltese Archipelago we have just pointed out a few of them.
