Malta 2026 🇲🇹

We spent the afternoon cliff diving at St. Peter’s Pool, tucked along Malta’s rugged southern coast. The water here is a startling turquoise, carved into limestone cliffs that locals and adventurous travelers use as natural diving platforms. Jumping in was equal parts terrifying and exhilarating — and the payoff was floating in impossibly clear water with the Mediterranean stretching out in every direction.

We spent a day at Popeye Village. It’s one of Malta’s most unique attractions — a real film set from the 1980 Popeye movie, tucked right into the gorgeous scenery of Anchor Bay. There’s a water obstacle course, a few small museums, boat rides, and play areas for the kids, plus no shortage of great photo spots. If you’re traveling with children, this is a must.

A full day soaking in the history of Valletta 🇲🇹 Malta’s tiny capital packs centuries into every golden stone street. Elaborate churches, fortress walls, sweeping harbour views — and a sun that reminded us we were basically standing on a rock in the Mediterranean ☀️🥵

We had an overnight flight, and our flights have changed a few times along the way. When we landed, we had an 11-hour layover (yes, you read that right!) luckily we had a tour planned, so we got to visit a bunch of sites in that time. So yes, none of us have slept yet, lol. One more flight to go! 😴
