Trekking in Malta - Gozo and Comino

From November 1st to 4th, 2018 – Detailed program in PDF format available for download at the bottom of the page.
In the heart of the Mediterranean lies the Republic of Malta, a world apart, situated between Europe and Africa, where the island's traditions are enriched by past British, Sicilian, and Arab influences, and where Catholic churches stand out against the island's skyline alongside the impressive fortifications built by the Knights of Malta. We will enjoy daily excursions to the two smaller islands, Gozo and Comino. On the final day, we will visit the evocative Mdina, the ancient capital, and La Valletta with its beautiful St. John's Co-Cathedral, the current capital of Malta and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
