The best beaches on the island. Mellieha Bay is the largest. A couple of nice restaurants close by. Popeye Villiage is interesting. Also, 2 beaches next to each other Golden Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha. The later with some great views, an incredible walk over some hill, a lovely restaurant and the best place for a sunset. Just make sure you check bus times. The Red Tower is also cool.

Probably the most diverse city. Recommened chilling for sunset at Paradise Exiles bar or even take some beers and sit on the rocks. Balluta Bay is nice and Recommend Naar Bar and The Crafty Cat. Med Asia Playa and 1926 Beach Club are cool too chill by a pool with a cocktail. There's a stretch of bars which is good such as Tex Mex, The Londoner, The Brew, Black Gold and more.

Paceville is where the crazy stuff happens. Very busy. Great music. Some cool bars. Highly recommend starting with a cocktail at the Thirsty Barber. Then the night is all yours. Hugos Terrace(might need to book), Baccos, Footloose, Bar Native are all good. Lots of places to eat and also a small beach. Hugos Infinity has a lovely rooftop pool, but it's not cheap.

Incredible place. A lot calmer and more beautiful than Malta. You can catch a ferry I believe from Sliema. And then a hop on hop off bus which is OK. But to really see the amazing stuff in Gozo it's best to hire a car. But this is not for everyone.

Fishing village in the very south of the island. Great fish, views, places to eat and chill. Great for Instagram. Quite a journey on the bus.

Buses
Closest stop with good connections is Enricio. You can Google it. You can buy monthly bus passes from Public Transpart Sales Booth at the airport. If you can't find just ask a member of staff. Otherwise you can buy from a shop close to the apartment Tal-Qroqq Confectionery.
Buses are very busy. Hot. Usually not on time or sometimes will even drive straight past if they are full. Please bear this in mind especially during the summer.
You can download an app called Tallinja which if you select a bus stop, shows you how far away the next bus is and the number. You can also plan a journey.

Car Rental
Usually I rent my car from a regular place. They have automatics for 25 euros a day with no deposit. Just let me know if you need a quote and I can provide you with the number to whats app them.

Car service you rent by the minute. 15minutes is 3e and around 35cent each minute after. This is great for short journeys. But if you don't know parking areas and how to get around the island it can prove expensive. Download app

Bolt Stand On Scooters
Fun. Cheap. And great for short rides. But be careful of pot holes and Maltese drivers. Download same Bolt app as taxi.
Cómo moverse
Takeaway and Supermarkets
Bolt Food. Download app. Different from taxi.
Wolt. Download app
There's 3 grocery stores close by. 2 are called Convenience Shop. Bit pricey and a not great selection but open late. Both 3 minute walking distance. But better going to A D Supermarket.
Cómo moverse
Tap Water
Technically drinkable. But full minerals and likely your stomach is going to have a bit of party. Stick to bottled water. I will supply you with 12 litres to get you going.
Cómo moverse
Sun
Malta has the strongest UV rays in Europe. Please be careful and use high factor sun cream.
