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 Xlendi Beach, Cliff and Caves. Escape the urban bustle at Azure Window and Blue Grotto (Il-Hnejja). Change things up with these side-trips from Mellieha: Valletta (Upper Barrakka Gardens, Valletta Waterfront, &more), Ramla Bay (in Xaghra) and Mnajdra (in Qrendi). There's much more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Mellieha Parish Church, contemplate the long history of Mellieha Air Raid Shelter, appreciate the history behind St Agatha's Tower, and discover the deep blue sea with a scuba or snorkeling tour.
