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 Golden Sands Beach. 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). 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, delve into the distant past at Ggantija Megalithic Temples, and get in on the family fun at Popeye Village Malta.
