Fantastic video guys, I really enjoyed it! Couples questions, how do the locals feel about tourists from the U.S./U.K.? Is it a pretty welcoming place? The food looks amazing. Looking forward to traveling there soon, thank you :)

They are really welcoming! Nothing to worry about. Have a great time.

Its a crazy little island, brilliant sites to see, plenty of history, and the many varieties of food styles absolutely yummy! I was fortunate to dive the Azure window before and after it got storm damaged, its a lovely new site to dive with the new formation under the water.

[@muttskins]

Awesome video! It's a shame you only had 3 days here, you ought to come again. You definitely did well to visit Valletta, Mdina, and the 3 Cities, and Gozo and Comino will be beautiful, but we also have many other smaller towns you can visit, each with something to offer, like Marsaxlokk with its fish markets, Dingli and its very high cliffs (on same side as Blue Grotto, but north close to Mdina), and many nice beaches with Ghadira Bay in Mellieha being our longest sandy beach.

Spent nearly three months on Malta 2019 - thank goodness we have that fabulous trip for our memories - it was the best - we enjoyed four different locations during out stay which included 2 weeks on Gozo - Senglea for one month Sliema for two weeks St Paul’s Bay etc accommodation was super and by staying in various locations we could explore the areas more thoroughly- we made sure we were fit before we left from Australia as we are in our seventies - we were able to walk and manage all the steps and staircases - just fabulous!
