Yay! You are going to Malta. Super fun, obviously. To prepare for your trip, I have gathered a few practical tips for you. So that you will not be faced with unwanted surprises in beautiful Malta.
More nature and fewer people. That is what immediately stands out when you get off the ferry from Malta to Gozo. And that is quite a relief after the hustle and bustle of the main island of Malta. So a relaxing trip to Gozo should definitely be on your Malta to-do list!
The yellow limestone glows golden in the sun, and the balconies are painted cheerful colors. You’re in Valletta, Malta. The smallest capital in Europe. That means that it’s easy to oversee and highly walkable. Find out what to do in Valletta.
More and more people are choosing sustainable or natural sunscreen. Did you know that it is not necessarily the same thing? And not all of them apply equally well: hello white haze! I tested the sustainable and natural sunscreens, lotions, and sticks of no fewer than 18 brands. Find out how that went.
The houses of Santanyí have a golden-white glow thanks to the sandstone. When the sun hits, the town sparkles. Some palm trees are spread over the town, to get you into the Mediterranean vibe. Santantyí definitely deserves a visit during your stay in Mallorca. Take half a day and don’t forget the Mondragó National Park!
Mallorca has more than 70 (!!) wineries. According to some, there are even close to a hundred. Bizarre, isn’t it, for such a small island? Bizarre, but very welcome. Because an afternoon of wine tasting is always a good idea. I’ve tested five wine tastings for you to help you choose the perfect one for you.
In the south of Mallorca are the beaches Es Trenc, Es Carbó, Es Cargol and Cala Llombards. You will definitely end up there during your vacation. But don’t miss the sights around the village of Ses Salines. Discover how salt is extracted, visit the lighthouse and enjoy the rugged coastline.
Sóller and Port de Sóller are in the northwest of Mallorca, in the Tramuntana Mountains. You can easily combine the two in a day trip. Sóller is the town, Port de Sóller is the seaside resort. My advice: start in Sóller and then relax and enjoy some food in Port de Sóller.
San Cristóbal de las Casas (San Cris for friends) is a favorite city among travelers. I attribute that to the pleasant mix of modern facilities, traditional customs, and friendly prices. Add a lot of activities, and before you know it, a few days have passed, and you extend your stay.
