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 Ramla Bay. Escape the urban bustle at Azure Window and Blue Grotto (Il-Hnejja). Change things up with these side-trips from Mellieha: Mnajdra (in Qrendi), Valletta (Upper Barrakka Gardens, Valletta Waterfront, &more) and Xlendi Beach, Cliff and Caves (in Xlendi). There's much more to do: see some colorful creatures with a scuba or snorkeling tour, contemplate the long history of Mellieha Air Raid Shelter, explore the ancient world of Ggantija Megalithic Temples, and brush up on your military savvy at Fort Rinella.
