Luxury yachts docked in a marina surrounded by modern buildings under a clear blue sky.

May 21–27, 2016

Our week in Malta was a mix of culture, coastline, and Mediterranean charm. We stayed at the Hilton in St. Julian’s, perfectly located above the marina — the ideal starting point for daily explorations.

From the narrow alleys of Valletta to the colorful fishing boats of Marsaxlokk, every corner told a story. The Blue Grotto shimmered in deep turquoise tones, while Popeye Village offered a quirky contrast — like stepping into a film set. We also visited a falconry center, where we had the rare chance to photograph magnificent birds up close.

Evenings brought glowing sunsets over the sea and peaceful harbors reflecting warm light. Malta’s combination of history, architecture, and natural beauty made this trip an inspiring visual experience.
