🇲🇹⛪ FRIDAY FUN FACT! ⛪🇲🇹

🤯 DID YOU KNOW MALTA IS FAMOUSLY SAID TO HAVE 365 CHURCHES… ONE FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR?!** 😍

Yes, you read that right! For such a tiny country, the Maltese Islands have an incredible number of churches, chapels and cathedrals! ⛪❤️

And having spent time exploring this beautiful island, I can certainly believe it! You really do seem to find a church around every corner! 😂

✨ From the magnificent St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta to the stunning Mosta Rotunda and the beautiful village churches scattered across Malta and Gozo, each has its own fascinating history.

⛪ Some date back hundreds of years
🎨 Many feature breathtaking artwork and architecture
🔔 Church bells echo through the towns and villages
🇲🇹 And almost every village has its own impressive parish church!

Of course, the famous 365 churches is a traditional saying rather than an exact official count, but it's still an amazing fact about this little Mediterranean gem! ☀️

❤️ Malta really is so much more than sunshine, beaches and beautiful blue seas. It's an island absolutely bursting with history, culture and character!**

🇲🇹 Have you visited Malta? Did you notice just how many churches there are? 👀👇

🇲🇹⛴️ GOZO – A LITTLE ISLAND WITH A LOT TO OFFER! ☀️🏝️💙

If you're visiting Malta, then a day trip to the beautiful island of Gozo is an absolute MUST! 😍
We decided to explore Gozo for the day, and what a fantastic way to see another side of the Maltese Islands! 🌊

⛴️ FIRST STOP… THE HIGH-SPEED FERRY FROM VALLETTA!
Getting to Gozo couldn't be easier! We hopped aboard the high-speed ferry from Valletta, which takes around 45 minutes to reach the island.

🚌 HOP ON, HOP OFF & EXPLORE!
One of the best ways to discover Gozo is on the Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing bus! 🚍
💡 TOP TIP: You can actually purchase a combined ticket for the high-speed ferry AND the sightseeing bus, making it a really convenient way to explore the island at your own pace!
And there are some absolutely gorgeous places to discover! 👇

🏖️ RAMLA BAY – GOLDEN SANDS & TURQUOISE WATERS!
One of Gozo's most beautiful beaches, famous for its distinctive reddish-golden sand and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. It's absolutely stunning! 😍🌊

🏛️ RABAT (VICTORIA) – THE HEART OF GOZO!
The island's capital is packed with character, charming little streets, cafés, shops and history.
The magnificent Citadel towers above the town, offering incredible views across Gozo. Definitely worth exploring! 📸

🌿 FONTANA – A TASTE OF TRADITIONAL GOZO!
A lovely little village just outside Victoria, where you get a glimpse of traditional Gozitan life away from the busier tourist spots.
Think narrow streets, beautiful stone buildings and a much slower pace of life. ❤️

🌊 XLENDI BAY – WOW, WHAT A PLACE! 😍
This gorgeous little fishing village is surrounded by dramatic cliffs, with beautiful blue waters and a lovely waterfront lined with restaurants and cafés.
It's the perfect place to stop, enjoy a drink, grab a bite to eat and simply take in those stunning views! 🍹☀️

🌆🍽️ BACK TO VALLETTA FOR DINNER!
After a fantastic day exploring Gozo, we caught the high-speed ferry back to Valletta.
But the day wasn't quite over! 😍
We headed to St Lucia Street, one of Valletta's lovely streets, with its beautiful architecture, outdoor restaurants and fantastic atmosphere. 🇲🇹✨
The perfect spot to sit down, enjoy some dinner and soak up the atmosphere of Malta's stunning capital before finally heading back to the hotel! 🍷🍝
And after a full day of sightseeing, we'd certainly earned it! 🤣

💙 OUR VERDICT?
Gozo really is one of Malta's hidden gems!
It's quieter, more traditional and has a completely different feel to mainland Malta. From beautiful beaches and historic towns to picturesque fishing villages, there's so much packed into one little island.
And the combination of the high-speed ferry and sightseeing bus makes it a brilliant day out without needing to hire a car! 🙌

🇲🇹 If you're heading to Malta, make sure Gozo is on your itinerary!

We've loved exploring Malta and Gozo, and it's always great to experience these destinations first-hand so we can share our own tips and recommendations with our customers! ❤️

Another beautiful setting for tonight's meal 🤩

🇲🇹🍹 DISCOVERING NAAR RESTOBAR IN ST JULIAN'S, MALTA! 🌊☀️

If you're visiting Malta and fancy somewhere to sit back, relax and soak up those gorgeous Mediterranean vibes, then NAAR Restobar in St Julian's is definitely one to have on your radar! 😍🍸

🌊 Beautiful waterfront surroundings
🍹 Cocktails and refreshing drinks
🍽️ A great spot for food and drinks
☀️ Mediterranean sunshine
🌴 A lovely setting to unwind and watch the world go by

There's something special about enjoying a drink by the water, especially when you're on holiday and haven't got a care in the world! ❤️

And that's what I love about Malta. It's not just about the hotels, beaches and sightseeing. It's discovering places like this that make a holiday memorable! 🇲🇹✨

Whether you're staying in St Julian's or just exploring the area, NAAR Restobar is worth adding to your list.

💬 Have you been to NAAR Restobar, or have you got another favourite spot in Malta we should try?

Well the weather is perfect. 24c and not a cloud about. Just look at that sea. 🇲🇹🎬 POPEYE VILLAGE, MALTA – WHAT A PLACE!...

Well the weather is perfect. 24c and not a cloud about. Just look at that sea.

🇲🇹🎬 POPEYE VILLAGE, MALTA – WHAT A PLACE! 🎬🇲🇹

⚓️💪 WELL, BLOW ME DOWN! IT'S POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN! 💪⚓️

Today we've been exploring one of Malta's most quirky and colourful attractions… the absolutely brilliant Popeye Village! 😍🌊

🏘️ Tucked away in the stunning Anchor Bay, this little village was originally built as the film set for the 1980 musical Popeye, starring Robin Williams!

And rather than knocking it all down once filming finished, they kept it… and turned it into one of Malta's most recognisable attractions! 🤩

🌈 Colourful wooden houses
🎬 Original film-set buildings
⚓️ Plenty of Popeye nostalgia
📸 Fantastic photo opportunities
🌊 Absolutely breathtaking views across Anchor Bay

It's like stepping straight into a cartoon! 😂

And the setting? WOW! 💙 The crystal-clear turquoise Mediterranean Sea against those colourful little houses is absolutely gorgeous!

🇲🇹 THIS IS WHY I LOVE EXPLORING DESTINATIONS MYSELF!

There's so much more to Malta than sunshine, beaches and beautiful hotels. It's packed with history, character and some wonderfully unusual places to visit.

And being able to experience attractions like this firsthand means I can share a little more than just what's written in a holiday brochure! ❤️

💭 WHO REMEMBERS WATCHING POPEYE WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER? 💪🥬

And more importantly… would you visit Popeye Village on your next Malta holiday? 👇😍
