Blue Grotto and Marsaxlokk market, Malta (minimum 2 passengers)

Explore one of Malta's few unspoilt villages in the south of the island. Together with our guide you will be led to a Maltese pjazza along winding narrow streets where progress did not leave its mark. We proceed our tour with a visit to the Blue Grotto (not included in the price) and the other grottoes from closeby. Lastly we will visit the main fishing village of Marsaxlokk whose water front is lined with “luzzus” painted in traditional reds, blues and yellows that add colour to this peaceful bay once the site of the first Turkish landing during the Great Siege of 1565 where you will be given free time to spend browsing around the local market stalls. Every day from sunrise until about 1 pm a unique sight can be observed here. The location of the cave combined with the sunlight lead to the water mirroring showing numerous shades of blue. Several caverns mirror the brilliant phosphorescent colours of the underwater flora; other caverns show a deep dark shade of blue. The Blue Grotto is a popular destination, scuba diving snorkelling and rock climbing being the most popular activities here. It also has some typical local restaurants that offer good food with stunning views.
