Don't forget the very fine silver jewellery they make here, also the fine lacework

Great video! I am the guy who bright up Malta during your 1 million subscriber live event a couple of months ago. Malta was a trip of a lifetime for us. I would also suggest don’t miss out on visiting the Hypogeum and other spectacular historic archaeological sites around Malta! Malta has some of the oldest and most important sites in the world!!!

(Melanie here) My husband is Maltese and we have been to Malta twice ( last visit -October 2023). We really enjoy staying in Mellieha Bay (have done a hotel one time and an airbnb) which has a very nice beach area. We toured a bomb shelter in Mellieha that was a moving experience for my husband since his father would go into those during WW2. Also, I can definitely recommend - Mdina (interesting, peaceful walking around) and eat at Fontanella (worth the wait for the view and the food - pastizzis and cakes are fantastic among other things). Also we had a great tour of Valetta. Get pastizzis at Manuela (certified authentic). Ferry to Gozo is reliable and then use the hop on hop off bus on the island.

It's so great to see Mark totally gushing about a place. This makes me really really want to visit Malta, especially since the big siege there is one of my favorite stories in history.

As Danes and now both 76, my wife and I have visited Malta 10 times during a few years, for up to 7 weeks. During the Maltese Independence Danish Unions became contacted and started a joint built of a Danish Vacation Center in Mellieha, which has lately been added to with areas on both sides. Today it is a fully Danish owned area with Danish Designed and, Maltese like buildings from chalk stone on a large area (And a private tunnel below the road, to Maltas finest sand beach!), and direct planes every week to Luqa. We have "Danish Calls" in the Loudspeakers, when we leave again. It is free to rent also for other Nationalities, if wanted, but mostly used by the Danes. We of course also have sight seeing during the vacations to major sites on Malta and Gozo. With Maltese based and living, Danish Guides.
By that, the still existing Disney-Set for "The Popeye Movie" became designed and built by the Danish Arkitekt and Professor, while also building The Center in Mellieha, and main Actor, Robin Williams lived in Mellieha during the filming. 😀

Your video convinced me to add Malta to my list this year. Thanks, Mark! I'm sure the locals appreciate you for showcasing their beautiful country!💪🏻🇲🇹

[katydaniels]

Malta is top of my list for this year. This video was so helpful, thank you 😁

Hey Wolter, great video bro. Yes, I love Malta went there in 2016 with a couple of friends and I really enjoyed it. Really would love to go back again. Cheers from the UK.

Enjoyed your video. I visit Malta often can I also say, you don't have to drive. Public transport is very cheap and ultra reliable you can go from one end of the island to the other for less than 3 Euros . Then get the ferry to Gozo (a cheap alternative to the tourist boat trips). Also Mosta is lovely to visit especially the church and the unexploded bomb from World War 2. St Georges Bay has a lovely sandy beach and on the public transport route too. Im from the 🇬🇧 UK .

Thank you, Mark.
A helpful video about one of my favourite destinations.
Malta has so many layers of history it is worthwhile taking some time to explore the island and discover other areas than the very popular ones.
In Valletta we boarded the Hop on Hop off bus and appreciated the opportunity to travel round and hear about the island - if it is still running I would recommend the tour.

Cool! This video got posted right when my wife and i were at Malta. Another don't from us would be: don't forget your sunscreen! The sun's UV intensity levels can get pretty high and especially when you're white skinned you burn easily. Takes only a little time in the sun to feel the sting already so do yourself that favor of sunscreen protection.
We visited Gozo island and i strongly agree to not pass that up. It's an easy ferry ride even with a rental car. We went to see the Citadel on Gozo which is really nice. But there are many nice spots and churches to visit on Gozo.
We had a great week on Malta and enjoyed the environment, architecture, food and the people's friendly service. I agree that traffic can be a thing. Not so much the driving on left side part but the rush of it. There will be honking if you slack or seem indecisive. And small motorcycles will just be passing you left and right at any given moment.
A thing i felt unsure of though was the level of construction going on. I mean in and of itself it's great. But i feel like they are going for luxurious boulevard style in some places that (in my humble opinion) could potentially diminish the cultural and historical identity of those parts of Malta. Nice spots already had those typical loud music tourist stands and restaurants with loud happy hours. I know it sounds like i'm turning into a grumpy old guy lol. I just hope they are not going to turn it into a second Ibiza. Because i think Malta has more to offer than that culturally.

We went to Malta 3 months ago and the first thing that hit us was the fact there's almost no birds in Malta :)

Don’t forget to use public transport as its a flat fare of €2.50 I had no problems when I was there

[jdbgames]

Be aware that buses can be unreliable in country areas, being infrequent and prone to cancellation or being full up. Also, they mostly stop running by around 10pm, so plan your evenings accordingly. The narrow roads and the heavy traffic also mean that Malta is dangerous for cycling: so much so that you seldom see anyone on a bike. Apart from that, Malta is a beautiful place.

[ReadytoGoMelissa]

For archeology buffs, there are several sites across the island not to be missed, particularly the Hypogeum. History of these places is still largely unknown which makes them so interesting!

Also, go for a hike along Dingli Cliffs 👍🏼

[rmknicks]

I love Malta! It's my favorite destination so far.

[andreamalloy]

Great video! I loved Malta and also bought glass while I was there 😀

[barbarawissinger]

Malta in February is wonderful! Warm, not crowded & swimming at Golden Bay is possible.

[mic]

ayy! Happy that you made a vid on my country :)

[Uraharasquad]

No word about the movie locations or Popeye village?
I think missed you also the Island Gozo and Camino that are nice to visit by ferry.
The bus is a good way to travel and prizes go up a lot in the summer not to forget.
