Day 6 Greece Trip: Malta (Valletta and Mdina)

Oh my goodness! Malta is BY FAR my most favorite port yet. Coming into the port you see the walled city immediately. It’s beautiful. The water is beautiful. It’s just…well…beautiful.

Our excursion today was a walking tour of Valletta and Mdina. We started at Valletta and saw some pretty cool things. The tour guide was a funny little man. He was a slow stroller and stopped every now and then and would tell us some history. I, personally, loved this over using the whispers because I hate having those damn things in my ear.

Anyhow, there’s a bunch of history around Valletta but none can I remember to tell you. If you want to know you can go look it up.

We strolled up to the Barrakka Gardens. It overlooks the harbor and has these amazing arches up there.

From there we walked over to St. John’s church. We were given a whole 15 minutes of free time before we had to meet back up at a spot that was about a 15 minute walk away.

After hiking back to the bus we headed to the walled city of Mdina.

You might recognize the gate into Mdina if you’re a Game of Thrones fan.

Inside had these narrow alleyways that were a ton of fun to photograph.

And of course we had to do our crab picture as we got back on the boat, but before that, we ran through a gift shop and I bought a Christmas tree ornament.
