I didn't show the capital city of Valletta in this video, but I explored it in another video, which you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmjOoZWAZcSEpJo

[@wanderingspirit7021]

Great vid Gabe, Thank you. Malta is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Favourite Maltese food, restaurant, beverage? Is that nation known for its beer making (zymurgy)?

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Interestingly enough, one of the American Democratic Presidential candidates, Pete Buttigieg, has a Maltese last name, and can speak a little Maltese ...

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

How is the medical and health care over in Malta? How can you assure that where you are going next has decent health care should you happen to fall ill, Gabe?

[@nicolaeisaru6928]

Very nice. Have you visited Popeye's Village?

[@nigelhamilton815]

Love Malta. We first visited in 1981 and we have returned 7 times since. It's like being in a huge museum! As for driving , on my first visit I asked a maltese gentleman which side of the road they drive on. His reply" in the shade" !! Loved the place eversince.

[@tommycockles2947]

they drive on the left but take corners on the right

[@theanvil5288]

You're right! That small island nation is packing a lot of history. Without your trip, I would have never been exposed to it. Even though Malta 🇲🇹 is a long flight from where I live, it must be included on my travel bucket list. Thank you for taking the time to travel to Malta and visiting these historic sites...👍🏻👍🏻

[@redzone8618]

you are most welcome to vist malta there are lots of things to see, besides history

[@havocspree]

One word for Malta - WOW!!!! feels straight out of an assasins creed video game! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@gringu286]

It was filmed here...

[@dwfmedia]

Much appreciated,I like the same as you,less crowded and historical etc so you my friend is the perfect blogger. I've been following these videos closely as Malta is or kind of has been on the list for few years just never managed it or had much info and your videos are putting the icing on the cake, so to speak! Thanks loads for this

[@garyreynolds5733]

Great Job, Mr. Traveller. My son and I made a simillar tour a couple of years back. Was awesome. Your video is well done indeed and brings back some great memories. I'm thinking of returning with my wife in the Autumn this year for a surprise, as she hasn't visited at all. We adore history. There are so many cool sites there and just wandering around and bumping into things is bliss.

[@Rose-ty9lg]

Gabriel,thank you for sharing your video,very interesting history, the world is filled of misteries. Beautiful place.

[@Tbpker22]

Gabriel, you are a wonderful modern day explorer. Especially for those of us who loved travel in the past, but are unable to do so now. You bring back so many memories....

Thank you for sharing this. This is definitely a place I would personally like to explore. Have seen videos of Malta but not as expansive as yours. 👍🏻

Nice job Gabe. My aunt moved there in 1965 to take over a 5 star hotel owned by her husband's family. She's still there.

Gabe, thank you once again for your insightful videos! I’m heading to Malta mid September and watching them are being a massive help on my planning :) I’ve decided to stay in Gozo so excited to see whether the next 2 videos will have some of it - can’t wait for my trip! Cheers from London and safe travels! Xx

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I showed some of Gozo in this video, it's definitely nice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imO5i4iOoNJ7r7M I'll plan to explore it more the next time I visit Malta.

Amazing video about malta well done 😊😊❤️❤️

[@valeriebaxter2354]

I am from the UK and been to Malta many times, I love it. It has a marvellous history. Look out for coloured doors at the Waterfront the colours depicted Grain, Fish etc and the old coloured buses that sadly no longer run that depicted the towns as people could not read so colours gave them the information. I've visited all these places in your Malta vlogs. Whilst driving just keep turning left or right, Airport signs will take you south if in the north and follow signs for Gozo if you want to go north from the south and Mdina is in the middle. If you get lost remember you're still in Malta!

[@kalina7907]

i also think it would be cool if somewhere in this series on malta you could capture the ambient noise of people speaking maltese so we could hear a glimpse of it. that would be sort of cool to me to hear. the best thing would be to go there, but i might have to wait a minute for that.

HEY GABRIEL, A VERY NICE VIDEO OF MALTA. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MALTA BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT WOULD BE A PLACE I WOULD ENJOY WALKING AROUND SINCE I DON'T DO TOO WELL ON THE UP AND DOWN STREETS AND TRAILS. AFTER 4 BACK SURGERIES I HAVE LEARNED THE HARD WAY TO TRY TO STAY WITH THE MORE FLAT KIND OF GROUND.

I got married there in 2006. Love the islands, loads of history, lovely restaurants, top hotels. The only down side is others have found out about this gem, it’s a lot busier😩, definitely more cars.

Malta is a really expensive place compared to past years! The reason is cause bunch of tourists are living in Malta and prices get higher.

At 21:00 the St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina has its entire floor made of old tombstones! Stoked to see you made it to the catacombs.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, Amazing views of those Catacombs. I don't much of the history of Malta but If I'm not mistaken St Paul shipwrecked on the Island while preaching around Europe was imprisoned for two years in Malta. They also made an old movie called The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart about the famous small statue of a black falcon from Malta worth a fortune. I don't know if there's any truth to this.

[@lourdesgio6953]

You could have paid the same price of the first hotel with breakfast in a less touristy place. Also, that smoke in the fields under Mdina is bad grass and weeds that occupy the fields. The farmers put them in one big pile and put it on fire to make space for new plants. You could have also visited one of the many feasts we have around the island during the summer.

[@our4feettravelers760]

wow the little town you are is was perfect

[@marliesas]

I highly recommend you visit the chapel of annunciation , in zurrieq , a medieval Romania Catholic Church which is an extremely old church. I also recommend you visit the St Paul's cocathedral with arts of Caravaggio and Mattia Preti known as one of the most beautiful temples in the world.

[@manishanti1]

Pity you missed the beach next to Golden Bay - Riviera Beach - which is usually less crowded and far more beautiful. There's also Gnejna Bay accessible through Mgarr.

Malta looks really pretty!:))

[@ruthdejesus4505]

Been to Malta three times going back again in two month's time for the fourth. I agree with you 100%: Malta is a small island jam packed with history, beaches, many churches and old buildings etc. They have a good transport system and very relax lifestyle. Valetta has plenty to offer too but I love the island of Gozo and Mellieha Beach etc. In the past five years or so, there's been hotels and building developments everywhere and loads of them! Cranes and diggers etc are all over the place. Some Old Historic Buildings are compromised for a modern contemporary artworks and buildings etc. It will only be A MATTER OF TIME before Malta is changed forever IMHO.

Unfortunately prices vary from shop to shop (I live in Fgura, Malta) and be warned shops do take advantage of tourists. I look like my late Scottish Father so touristy shops and kiosks asked alot, thinking I didn't know any better, but since I live here I know where the bargains are and what you should expect to pay.
