[2025 Qrendi Attraction] Travel Guide for Blue Grotto (Updated Aug)

#TravelGuide #OverseasTravel #TravelCourse It's 'Malta'! It was the filming location for the drama 'Game of Thrones' King's Landing, and was selected by Lonely Planet as the 5th must-visit travel destination in the world And above all... It's a great place to travel alone! 🤍 [Recommended Malta Travel Destinations] ✨ Valletta The capital of Malta. The Baroque-style buildings and harbor scenery are so charming. • Old Mint Street • Lower Barrakka Gardens • Upper Barrakka Gardens These are the 3 recommended places! Aside from that, just walking around the city slowly is healing in itself. Emotions explode everywhere, from cafes, general stores, to souvenir shops! ✨ Comino Island You can take a boat from Valletta to Comino Island → Gozo Island! The blue sea, cliffs, and caves... It's really picturesque. ✨ Blue Grotto Unfortunately, when I went, it was closed so I couldn't go. Please check the weather and whether the dock is open in advance! 🤍 [Good season to travel] Recommended for April-June / September-October! The weather is nice and not too hot, and you can avoid the *peak season (July-August)*. There are few people and it's perfect for taking pictures. 🤍 [What's the charm of Malta?] Unlike other European beach cities, You can enjoy deep history and culture! And yet, you can also enjoy dazzling beaches and jelly-colored seas~ It may seem small and unfamiliar, but it's a country you'll never regret going to. Malta is that kind of travel destination.

On holiday in Malta? Don't forget to visit the south of the island. Iconic places like Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk cannot be ignored. Take a taxi, rental car or bus and preferably travel to these attractions on Sundays. Attractions in Marsaxlokk include Parish Church and St. Lucian Tower. Just outside the village you can visit St. Peter's Pool. Ideal for diving and snorkelling, but we opt for Blue Grotto in Wied iz-Zurrieq. Also a nice place for diving and snorkelling, but above all to take boat trips and enjoy the breathtaking nature. Because of the rough sea, seven caves were formed in the rocks. This is how Blue Grotto was born. The sunlight makes for a real spectacle, especially on nice days, but you only get a good picture of the entire cave system during a boat trip. Blue Grotto Boat Service will take you for a short 20 minute trip along the South Maltese coastline. Recommended! #grouptravel #bluegrotto #malta #coastline #holiday #boattrip

Malta - the blue legend of the Knights the world is amazing, cactus and coconut trees coexist, when the Gobi encounters the ocean, the volcano encounters the glacier, as if everything impossible has become possible. Perhaps life is the same, who will meet at the next intersection, who will meet under the streetlights of the rainy night, or who will fall in love at sunset? Everything that seems impossible is actually possible in one day~ Malta is an island country in the Mediterranean. It is not only beautiful but also rich in cultural heritage. It used to be a British colony, so it is retained. A lot of British trails. Among them, the most typical is the British red telephone booth and postbox. It is very close to Italy and has a Greek-style Mediterranean style, so blue has become synonymous here. The blue of the Mediterranean, the yellow of the old city brick, the green of the cactus and the red of the sea at sunset make up the unique colors here. Europeans like to come to this holiday, just simply sunbathe, swim, find a hotel for a few days, so good. # about traffic Malta: Many people will choose Malta as a destination for European countries. Ryanair has direct flights from London to Rome. Flights, booking tickets in advance is a very convenient and cost-effective way to get to Valletta. This is a direct flight from London to Valletta, the ticket is only more than 400 RMB one way. In addition, if the last stop on your itinerary is Sicily, it is also very convenient to fly from Catania in Sicily, less than an hour's flight. Malta: By car rental, you can book your car in advance from the domestic website, remember to be insured! ! ! Due to insurance, the banks companions incurred huge fines. Because there are too many birds on Gozo Island, we were fined a car wash fee of 150 Euros when we returned the car. The car dealer called it special cleaning; because the doors on both sides were scratched, it was necessary to bear the repair cost, and then involved The lost time and tax of the car; because the car did not have time to fill up the fuel, the car dealers let us buy at the so-called market price, in fact, the price of one-third of the box of oil is more than a thousand rmb. Calling the domestic customer service to reflect the situation, but know that we only buy the basic insurance, beyond the amount of claims can be compensated, meaning that these fines of 2000 euros is no way to cover. The painful lesson tells everyone that you must buy all risks! ! ! Fig. 9 The end of the sky is the sea, and the end of the sea is the mountain~ This photo was taken with a mobile phone when it was approaching Valletta. The scene at that time was very shocking. The first time I saw the sunset was in the shape of a strip, the layers were paved there, the blue-violet sky was red and the orange and the afterglow, the beauty of nature was always shocking. . Before the takeoff, sprained his hand. The British aunt next door saw me apply medicine on my hand and asked me, "Are you okay, is it nervous? First time on the plane? Let's go~ "I feel that I have received unprecedented care. Then the aunt took a drink and drank high." This is the crazy British, drinking and drinking from time to time. Before landing, I saw the coolest sunset I have ever seen, and I was so excited that I cried at the sunset. I shot people who were chatting with each other and said, "Look at the sunset, don't talk!" Scared the people next door. After that, these two uncles and aunts began to abuse the dog. After "remember this moment", they started a crazy kiss on the plane. And I silently photographed the mobile phone slag pixel can not produce the effect, and sure enough, the human eye is the most tolerant of the beauty.

Enter Żurrieq, southwest of Malta's main island, and discover the Blue Grotto, a sapphire box lost to the gods! Formed by sea erosion, these natural caves shimmer in a dreamy azure and emerald green when the sun filters through them. From 9 a.m. to 12 a.m., the magic of light and shadow transforms the water's colors, creating a breathtaking experience. Take a boat through the narrow entrance, your captain expertly maneuvering between the jagged rocks. The echoing sound of waves and the dancing light of the sun will leave you breathless! The nearby Blue Grotto Viewpoint offers free panoramic views, and combined with the nearby World Heritage temple complex, you'll experience a breathtaking blend of history and nature. Reminder: The best time to visit is April to October. Remember to wear light clothing, apply sunscreen, and pay cash for your boat ticket (approximately 8-10 euros). Don't be disappointed if the boat is suspended due to wind and waves; the nearby Blue Lagoon on Comino Island is also a haven for "jellyfish." This is not only a blue wonder, but also the most romantic adventure in the Mediterranean. 🌊✨ #MaltaMustVisit #BlueGate

#JulyDestinations2025 🇲🇹Malta, a small European nation, possesses a unique charm. Composed of three main islands, it lies just south of Sicily, Italy, in the Mediterranean. 💕Valletta Valletta, the capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. St. John's Cathedral is one of its landmark buildings, boasting an exquisite interior featuring over 400 unique marble tombstones on its floor and Caravaggio's "The Beheading of St. John." The magnificent Grand Master's Palace, once the seat of power for the Order, houses a collection of precious portraits and tapestries. The Upper Barrakka Gardens offer stunning views and were the private gardens of the Italian Knights. The Salute Battery fires a daily noon salute. 💕The Three Sisters Vittoriosa, Senglia, and Cospicua, known as the "Three Sisters," are the cradle of Maltese history. Castel Sant'Angelo, built in the 16th century, is now a museum. The Malta Maritime Museum offers ship models and other exhibits. 💕Mdina Mdina, once Malta's capital, boasts medieval and Baroque architecture, including St. Paul's Cathedral, a Baroque masterpiece. 💕Marsaxlokk Marsaxlokk is a traditional fishing village with stunning coastline and sea views. Its traditional sculls are brightly colored, with the "Eye of Horus" adorning their prows. The area is renowned for its seafood, so visit the seafood market. 💕Blue Grotto The Blue Grotto in the southwest of Malta is a natural wonder, perfect for diving, snorkeling, and rock climbing. The observation deck offers panoramic views, and boat trips through the cave are also available.

📍 Where Is the Blue Grotto? The Blue Grotto is located on the southern coast of Malta, near the village of Żurrieq. It's about a 25-minute drive from Valletta or the Malta International Airport. The area includes a series of sea caves known for their stunning blue reflections and crystal-clear waters. 🛶 What Makes It So Special? The name "Blue Grotto" comes from the dazzling shades of blue and turquoise that light up the caves when the sun hits the water. The reflection of sunlight off the white sea floor creates a glowing effect that looks almost unreal—especially in the early morning hours. You’ll explore a network of six caves by boat, each offering its own play of light and shadow. The highlight is the main cavern, where the water appears to glow from beneath. 🚤 How to Visit • Boat tours: The best way to experience the grotto is via traditional Maltese boats called luzzu, operated from the small harbor at Wied iż-Żurrieq. Tours last about 20 minutes and run daily, weather permitting. • Opening times: Boat trips typically operate from 9 AM to around 4:30 PM. No need to book in advance, but arrive early during peak season. • Cost: Expect to pay around €8 for adults and €4 for children. 📷 When to Go for the Best Experience • Best time of day: Between 9 AM and 1 PM for maximum sunlight inside the caves. • Best months: Late spring through early autumn (May to October) offers the clearest seas and calmest weather. 🥾 Other Things to Do Nearby • Panoramic viewpoint: Don’t miss the breathtaking cliff-top view of the grotto from above—it’s free and perfect for photos. • Scuba diving: The area is popular with divers, especially near the Um El Faroud wreck. • Explore Żurrieq: This quiet village has a few charming cafés and restaurants with sea views. 🍴 Where to Eat • Alka Restaurant – Mediterranean cuisine with a view of the sea. • Blue Cave Bar – A casual stop for snacks and drinks after your boat tour. • The Terrace – Great seafood and pasta with scenic vistas. 🧳 Travel Tips • Bring sunscreen and a hat—shade is limited on the boats. • Wear flat shoes or sandals, as the area around the dock can be slippery. • If seas are rough, boat trips may be canceled, so check weather conditions in advance. • Combine your visit with a trip to Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Temples, just 10 minutes away by car. 🌊 Final Thoughts The Blue Grotto is one of Malta’s most photographed and beloved natural wonders for good reason. Whether you're looking for a peaceful boat ride, an unforgettable photo spot, or just a taste of the island’s coastal beauty, this place delivers.

#summervacay Being dropped off halfway by a taxi couldn't even dim my spirits in Malta! I just had an incredibly enjoyable two days there. Right from the airport, I hopped in a taxi straight to the Blue Grotto. It only cost me 8 euros, which felt incredibly cheap, especially considering that's often just the starting fare in Milan! After exploring the Blue Grotto for a bit, I grabbed another taxi directly to Golden Bay. It was super convenient with restrooms right by the beach, so I could change into my swimsuit and jump straight into the sea. The water was still a little chilly for this time of year, but plenty of people were already swimming. Back at my hotel, I tried some of Malta's famous roasted rabbit and horse meat. The rabbit was particularly delicious and fragrant! My hotel also had an amazing infinity pool on the rooftop – if you're booking, definitely get a room in a hotel with a pool for those perfect photos! My second day was all about a city walk in Valletta. From there, I took a boat to the Three Cities (Birgu, Senglea, and Cospicua). Personally, I found the Three Cities even more charming than Valletta. They were less crowded, the houses were beautiful, and the colorful doors and windows were fantastic for photos. The locals were genuinely happy to see me taking pictures in front of their homes; some even moved things out of the way for my shots and wished me a good day! Overall, despite the minor taxi mishap, my Malta trip was truly delightful and full of pleasant surprises. #Malta #TravelMalta #BlueGrotto #GoldenBay #Valletta #ThreeCities

#summerbudgettrip Irecently visited Malta and had an incredible experience overall. The island is absolutely stunning, with a perfect mix of historical sites, beautiful beaches, and charming towns. Valletta, Mdina, and the Three Cities were highlights — so much rich history packed into small, walkable areas. The architecture is gorgeous, and everywhere you go feels like stepping into the past. The beaches and the Blue Lagoon were breathtaking, with crystal-clear water ideal for swimming and snorkeling. We also took a day trip to Gozo, which felt quieter and even more relaxed than the main island — well worth the ferry ride. Food was another major highlight: fresh seafood, pastizzi, rabbit stew, and excellent Mediterranean flavors. The people were welcoming and helpful, and English is widely spoken, making it easy to get around. Overall, Malta is a perfect destination if you’re looking for a mix of culture, history, nature, and relaxation. I’m already thinking about going back! #cityplaybook #postandearn #travel #uptomejourney #maltatravel #malta #aprilblooms

My first solo trip to Malta🇲🇹, the heart of the Mediterranean Escaped thesis-writing fatigue by flying south for a vacation🌴 I spent five days and four nights there, with the first and last days mostly for travel, so it was essentially a three-day itinerary. As a non-"special forces" traveler, I prioritized chilling—perfect for those who want a relaxed exploration! ✈️Flights: SAS Copenhagen - Malta Bought during a sale, round trip for just 600+ DKK 🏠Accommodation: Sliema—central, affordable, and convenient 🚌Transport: Bought a 4-day bus pass (€19) at the airport. Taxis are better for groups. Download the Tallinja app—slightly more accurate than Google Maps, though delays happen (waited nearly an hour for Bus 222 at the pier on Day 3🐢). Itinerary: **Day1️⃣** Blue Grotto: Bring cash! (€10) I had to exchange on the island—better to prepare beforehand. Valletta (Photos 5-6): - Upper Barrakka Gardens (Photos 7-8) - Lower Barrakka Gardens (Photo 9) - Old Mint Street **Day2️⃣** Comino Island: Took a bus from Sliema to Ċirkewwa Pier. Few sights—mainly the Blue Lagoon and a nearby beach. My favorite spot! Crystal-clear water, perfect for sunbathing and island walks (Photos 2-3). Thirsty? Try the 🍍drink (€8 non-alcoholic/€10 alcoholic). **Day3️⃣** Gozo Island: Planned DIY sightseeing but arrived late, so hopped on a hop-on/hop-off bus (Photo 11). Comes with headphones—even Chinese audio guides!🥰 Stopped at: - **Victoria**: Gozo's capital. Climb the citadel for panoramic views—worth it! - **Marsalforn** & **Ramla**: Disappointing. Small beaches, nothing special, and the sea paled vs. Comino. 🍕Food: 📍Sliema - **Ta' Kris**: Rabbit stew (Photo 14, sweet-sour—meh). - **Il-Merill Restaurant**: Mixed Grill (chicken/steak/sausage/ribs + veggies, Photo 15—delicious!). 📍Near Blue Grotto - **Coast @ Cassarini Restaurant**: Seafood pasta (Photo 12, recommended!). Upstairs seating offers stunning sea views. 📍Valletta - **The Ordnance Pub & Restaurant**: BBQ ribs (Photo 16, huge portion—couldn’t finish, took leftovers home). #Malta #MaltaTravel

Malta is not well known, but it is actually an English-speaking country! There are quite a few language schools and it is just the right size to study abroad! The capital, Valletta, is a city that retains a medieval atmosphere. It has a slightly different atmosphere from other European countries. A bit Arabic? Islamic? That's the vibe I got. Valletta is a city with a lot of ups and downs, with fortresses and many ups and downs. There are also prosperous areas and resort-like parts! You can get around Valletta by bus! From Valletta, you can take a day trip to see the Blue Grotto and go to Marsaxlokk, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and a market on weekends! In Marsaxlokk, you can see traditional Maltese boats! They are colorful and cute! The seafood is also delicious, so be sure to go! The Blue Grotto is called the Blue Grotto. You don't need to make a reservation, so be sure to go on a nice day! It was really blue...! Malta is famous for a bread called Maltese bread. It's hard and big! If you buy a sandwich in the morning, it's so big that you'll still be full even after lunch lol. It's a good idea to share it with a friend! Other than that, the crackers and some kind of paste served at the restaurant were delicious! I'm not sure what it was, but it's always served at restaurants, so please try it! Malta is also famous for cats 🐈, and there is a cat park. However, since I went in the summer, it was so hot that I didn't see many kitties... Malta is hot in the summer, so you'll need a parasol! Malta is not well known, so be sure to visit it now! #Let's go abroad #Republic of Malta #Trip to Malta #Blue Grotto #Valletta #Marsaxlokk #Blue Grotto

With shipwrecks, caves, and abundant marine life, every dive is an adventure. 🍽️ [Cuisine] Don't forget to try the local rabbit dishes and seafood feasts, each bite is a taste of the Mediterranean. 🏖️ [Beaches] Golden beaches and azure waters await you, where you can bask in the sun and embrace the sea breeze.

This shipwreck near the Blue Hole in Malta. It is the largest shipwreck in Malta, with a length of more than 100 meters. It is like a giant sculpture hidden in the deep sea, lying quietly on the seabed. As I approached the bow of the ship, I couldn't help but think of the Titanic. The huge outline of the hull slowly emerged from the water, and the shocking feeling made people hold their breath. And when I saw it broken into two parts in the middle, I didn't know what kind of twists and turns this ship had experienced in the rough waves. Although the dust of history has covered up its former splendor, surrounded by sea water, it appears more magnificent and tragic. As a novice diver, it is a luxury to want to see this sunken ship. If you want to completely observe this sunken ship, you need at least 2 bottles of oxygen, so I have some regrets. In the deep sea, the colors become monotonous, and the deep and shallow blue-green gradually drowns out all the details, and a strange and mysterious atmosphere comes oncoming. Less clear, but more mysterious than ever. One day, I will return to these waters again, bring more oxygen, explore every detail of this sunken ship more calmly, and feel the silence of that era.

💘 Capri Island is known as a fairyland on the sea, a famous holiday resort in the Bay of Naples, 18 nautical miles from Naples, surrounded by the sea, and can only be reached by ferry or hydrofoil. Since the Roman times, it has been a renowned tourist and health resort. Emperor Augustus landed on the island on his return from the Eastern campaigns, captivated by its beautiful environment and pleasant climate, and he exchanged Capri Island for the Ischia Island at four times its value to use as his summer retreat. Capri Island is characterized by its limestone terrain, with steep rocks and many peculiar caves among them, the most famous being the 'Blue Grotto,' which is hailed as one of the seven wonders of the world. The entrance to the Blue Grotto is beneath the cliffs, and it is so small that only a small boat can enter. Due to the special structure of the entrance, sunlight can enter the cave from the entrance and is also reflected from the bottom of the water inside the cave. Therefore, the sea water inside the cave is crystal blue, mysterious and unpredictable, and even the rocks inside the cave turn blue, hence the name 'Blue Grotto.' To visit the Blue Grotto, one must choose the right time: first, the weather must be clear; second, it should be at low tide; and third, there should be no wind and waves.

In the recent trip to Malta, I have explored the Blue Grotto over there, which refers to Blue Cave. The shape of the cave is amazing and stunning with its own nature. The ocean is really beautiful and made me feel very comfortable. The blue grotto is only accessed by a speedboat which costs €10 for return. The colour inside of the Blue Grotto is unbelievable blue. Highly recommended! #Malta
