Two Weeks in Malta: Valletta, Mdina & Gozo with Flights – 15 Days
A week of escorted excursions and a week at leisure in Qawra, with flights and half board.
15 days
From £1,725 incl. flights
Tour overview
This 15-day holiday gives you the best of both worlds in Malta: a first week of escorted sightseeing, followed by a second week to relax, swim and explore at your own pace. The price includes return flights from a choice of UK airports, airport transfers and coach travel. You stay fourteen nights at your chosen hotel in Qawra, on the quieter side of St Paul's Bay, with breakfast and dinner every day, and an upgraded hotel is available for a supplement. A tour director looks after you for the first seven days, with a local representative on hand during the second week.
Your first excursion explores Valletta, the capital built by the Knights of St John, starting with the Malta Experience, a lively introduction to the island's 7,000-year history, and continuing with a guided walk past grand Baroque buildings and harbour viewpoints. The next day you take the ferry from Ċirkewwa to Mġarr for a full day on Gozo, Malta's greener sister island.

After a free day, you join fellow guests for an evening of traditional Maltese hospitality in Mosta. A full-day excursion takes you inland to Mdina, the fortified former capital known as the Silent City, along with neighbouring Rabat and the great domed church of Mosta. The final escorted excursion crosses Valletta's Grand Harbour to the medieval Three Cities of Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea and the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, with its colourful painted boats.
The second week is entirely yours. You might take the bus to Valletta's museums, visit the Blue Grotto or the temples of Ħaġar Qim, spend days on the beaches of Mellieħa, or simply enjoy the hotel and the seafront promenade.
The physical rating is low. This holiday suits travellers who want plenty of time in the Maltese sunshine, with an escorted introduction to the island and every arrangement made, and is especially popular for spring and autumn escapes. Malta is compact and well served by buses, so independent days out are easy to arrange, and dinner at the hotel each evening means there is no need to plan ahead.
