Neal Aquilina
Lives in Haz-Zebbug, Malta
Hi ! My name's Neal and I'm a 22 y/o medical student (soon to be doctor) from Malta with a true passion for travelling. I've visited over 45 countries and plan to visit more, but the one I've spent the most time adventuring is my home country of Malta where I've lived all of my life. This has given me countless time to visit every corner of this activity and site packed island, and now I'm here to pass-on all that knowledge to you through my recommendations. When I visit a county, I always want to do my best to get a feel of how the locals live and what it is that they enjoy doing or seeing in their county the most (especially the hidden gems). This is what I am offering you; a unique way into the best activities, places to see and characteristic experiences available on the Maltese islands. I can best cater for families, students, backpackers and other budget-travellers, outdoor lovers, and adventure-seekers. This service would therefore be best catered for these travellers and anyone ranging from budget to comfortable travel, but if it is pure luxury you are looking for, I feel like my recommendations may not be ideal for you. But if you want that unique cultural, adventurous or laid-back experience that only a local could provide, you've found the right place. I will split my recommendations as activities and experiences (free and paid), food and drink, accommodations, getting around and any other tips and tricks that I believe will be helpful to you personally.

Reasons to visit
Malta
Discover the Beauty of Malta
Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta offers a plethora of enchanting destinations for travelers seeking a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. From ancient temples to pristine beaches, each area of Malta has something unique to offer, ensuring an unforgettable journey.
Valletta and the Three Cities
Valletta, Malta's capital city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich history and Baroque architecture. Stroll through the narrow streets lined with colorful balconies, visit the grand St. John's Co-Cathedral, and explore the impressive Grand Harbour. Just across the water, the Three Cities—Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua—offer a glimpse into Malta's maritime past with their charming streets and waterfront views.
Mdina and Rabat
Step back in time in Mdina, Malta's ancient walled city also known as the "Silent City." Lose yourself in the labyrinth of medieval streets, visit the impressive Mdina Cathedral, and enjoy panoramic views from the bastion walls. Nearby Rabat is equally captivating, with its catacombs, Roman villa, and tranquil gardens providing a peaceful escape from the bustling city.
Gozo
A short ferry ride away, Gozo beckons with its idyllic countryside and laid-back charm. Explore the Citadel in Victoria, wander through picturesque villages like Xlendi and Marsalforn, and swim in the crystal-clear waters of Dwejra Bay, home to the stunning Azure Window rock formation. Gozo's rugged coastline and rolling hills offer ample opportunities for outdoor adventures and breathtaking views.
Comino
For a true paradise getaway, head to Comino, a tiny island known for its famous Blue Lagoon. Dive into the turquoise waters, sunbathe on the sandy beaches, and explore the island's peaceful trails. With limited development and car-free streets, Comino is the perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
Marsaxlokk and the Southern Coast
Experience Malta's maritime heritage in Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village famous for its colorful boats and bustling Sunday market. Enjoy freshly caught seafood by the waterfront and soak in the laid-back atmosphere. Further south, the rugged coastline of the Dingli Cliffs offers spectacular views and peaceful walking paths, perfect for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.
In conclusion, Malta's diverse regions cater to a wide range of interests, from history buffs to beach lovers to outdoor adventurers. Whether you're exploring ancient ruins, relaxing on sandy shores, or admiring stunning vistas, Malta is sure to leave a lasting impression on every traveler who visits this gem of the Mediterranean.
