Trekking in Malta - Gozo and Comino

From October 31st to November 3rd, 2019 - The detailed program is available in PDF format at the bottom of the page.
In the heart of the Mediterranean lies the Republic of Malta, a world apart, nestled between Europe and Africa, where local traditions are enriched by the legacy of 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 on the two smaller islands, Gozo and Comino. On the first 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.

The price includes: guide service, Global Assistance (Travel care) insurance, hotel accommodation in double or triple rooms, dinners and breakfasts from the evening of the first day until the morning of the last, round-trip boat and ferry transfers from Cirkewwa/Comino/Gozo/Cirkewwa, private bus transfers in Gozo/Malta, and a tourist guide in Mdina and La Valletta.
