✨ Malta is a stunning Mediterranean island known for its rich history (including ancient temples, medieval cities, and Baroque architecture), beautiful landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality. Our journey will be a blend of natural beauties, adventure, and cultural exploration. 🤔 Travelling in May?! May is an excellent time to visit Malta due to its pleasant weather and the opportunity to explore the island's natural beauty and historical sites without the crowds. May is considered shoulder season in Malta, which means fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months. We'll have a more relaxed and enjoyable experience, with shorter queues at attractions and less crowded beaches. Maltese cuisine is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean flavours, and as a big bonus - being there in May will allow us to savoir fresh, local produce and seafood in a more relaxed dining atmosphere. The sea temperature in May is pleasant for various water activities like snorkelling, diving, and boat trips. We will explore the stunning underwater world and the famous Blue Grotto. May is also the time when the Maltese landscape is in full bloom. The countryside is covered in colourful wildflowers, making it an excellent time for nature lovers and hikers to explore the scenic beauty of the island. ➡ Over the course of our 1-week adventure, we'll immerse ourselves in a delightful array of experiences. We'll dive into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim, explore the rich history of Malta by visiting the Three Cities, embark on a ferry journey to the enchanting Gozo, Malta's sister island, and venture to the idyllic Comino Island. Our journey will also take us to the ancient Ggantija Temples, considered the oldest free-standing structures on the planet. We'll wander the historic streets of Mdina, often referred to as the 'Silent City,' and bask in the cultural charm of a traditional fishing village, Marsaxlokk and much more! 😍 I am looking forward to exploring and enjoying this beautiful island and making the most out of our stay with you. 🤩🎉
About me ⬇ 👩 My name is Ivana and I am originally coming from Skopje, the capital of Macedonia. You can always find me in nature (as I am a huge nature lover), enjoying the sun, reading a good book, or simply having fun with my friends. Travelling 🌍 has been my passion since my early 20's and honestly, I don't think that I'll ever get enough of it 😁. It's one of my favourite activities, along with exploring different cultures and meeting interesting people. It helped me open my mind and grow as a person. Nevertheless, I am enthusiastically looking forward to every new adventure and the creation of worth-remembering memories together with you! 🤩
