This week we made it to the tiny island of Malta: An absolute must for sailors! Malta may be a haven for charter boats, but no cruiser should miss the absolutely stunning entrance of grand harbour Valletta. It is the most fortified city of all Europe and there are many sailing events held here.

Though we didn’t do the check in process correctly, the Maltese authorities have been incredibly friendly and helped us every step of the way. The next day we were ready to explore the island but before that we got a visit from Transport Malta, the maritime police force of the island.

With everything sorted, we take our dinghy over to the other side of Grand Harbour and make our way to the city centre of Valletta. Even though it is one of the smallest capital cities, Valletta boats some impressive architecture, history and numerous beautiful churches and cathedrals. It was also awarded as the cultural capitol of Europe.

Besides that, Malta is a paradise for boats, with its many bays and coves. You will find the famous Blue Lagoon here on Comino Island and many famous movies have been filmed on the island of Gozo and Malta. There is something for everyone in Malta and we definitely fell in love with the island and its people.

If you are looking for a sailing destination or if you are searching for an interesting country to visit, Malta should be on the top of your list.
