8 days in Mellieha Itinerary

A growing town in the northwestern section of Malta, the lively tourist destination of Mellieha sits perched between two picturesque bays.

Relax by the water at Mellieha Beach and Golden Sands Beach. Escape the urban bustle at Scuba & Snorkeling and Ramla Bay. Change things up with these side-trips from Mellieha: Mnajdra (in Qrendi), Blue Grotto (Il-Hnejja) (in Zurrieq) and Valletta (Upper Barrakka Gardens, Valletta Waterfront, &more). The adventure continues: explore the striking landscape at Azure Window, steep yourself in history at Mellieha Air Raid Shelter, pause for some serene contemplation at Mellieha Parish Church, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Mdina Old City.
