4-Nights Malta: Journey Through the Ages - Tailormade Journeys — CALL

Itinerary Details

1 Arrive Valletta, Malta

Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a vivid journey through time, where every corner reveals layers of history. From the grandeur of St John’s Co-Cathedral, with its Caravaggio masterpieces and marble tombs of the Knights to the narrow streets echoing the age of the Crusades, the city is a living museum waiting to be explored.

Explore Fort Saint Angelo in the nearby Three Cities, where the echoes of Malta’s role as a Mediterranean stronghold still resonate against the honey-colored limestone walls.

Visit the prehistoric Hagar Qim temples, built by the ancient Maltese civilization around 3200 BCE, and renowned for their intricate stone architecture and astronomical significance. Your private guide brings their history to life, with tales of how this Neolithic society created these monumental structures atop a hill with stunning sea views. Nearby, explore Mnajdra Temple, where the South Temple’s alignment with seasonal sunrises reflects the sophisticated astronomical knowledge of Malta’s early inhabitants.

Gozo, Malta’s tranquil sister island, features rugged cliffs, secluded bays and crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. Its rolling hills are dotted with lush farmlands, historic olive groves, and charming stone villages. A cultural highlight is the Ggantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site from 3500 BCE. These ancient limestone structures, older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids, contribute to the island’s mystique and its connection to the fabled Atlantis. Sail to Gozo aboard a sleek private yacht to snorkel among colorful underwater life: wrasse and parrotfish, octopus and seahorses.
