When people think of a holiday in Malta, they often picture lazy days on the beach, lounging by a swimming pool, or sightseeing in Valletta and nearby cities. But, there are other great ways to see the country, and one of the most rewarding is on foot.
A walking holiday in Malta allows you to slow down, soak in the scenery, and discover parts of the island that are often missed by those sticking to the typical tourist trail.
Walking holidays also allow you to spend quality time with your loved ones, free from distractions. They offer the perfect opportunity to be active together, enjoy meaningful conversations, and share unique experiences – all while exploring beautiful surroundings at your own pace.
If you are unsure if a walking holiday is for you, we have put together a quick guide on three reasons why a walking holiday in Malta may be for you.
The Stunning Scenery
One of the reasons Malta is high on people’s travel lists is because of the beautiful scenery it offers. Malta is home to some breathtaking landscapes, which you can enjoy a little more if explored on foot. There are routes that include you walking through Malta, Gozo and Comino between beaches and paths. There are also routes where you can discover ancient temples that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. There is one rule: always have a camera on hand, as there will be plenty of stunning photos to capture.
Quality Time With Loved Ones
When on a walking holiday in Malta, you’ll get plenty of time to truly connect with the people you’re travelling with. With many enjoyable hours exploring, you’ll be away from screens, schedules, and everyday distractions, allowing you to connect, catch up and share meaningful conversations, which can be difficult to have sitting in a cafe or at home. And what’s better, is the conversations will be surrounded by stunning views.
The Perfect Weather All Year Round
Malta is known to enjoy sunshine throughout the year, boasting over 300 sunny days annually. This makes it a popular destination for travellers, who can be confident of enjoying plenty of sunshine during their holiday. In particular, the reliable sunshine creates ideal conditions for hiking, which is one reason why walking holidays have become increasingly popular in Malta. If you are booking your walking holiday in advance, this gives you some extra confidence that it will be nice.
