Hi everyone,
This year will be our 4th consecutive year of visiting Malta. We love it so much and we feel we’ve done a good job of exploring the north, east and southern points of the country.
This year we are renting a car, staying at the Corinthia Palace for 4 nights before going to Gozo to revisit some of our favourites their.
Please could you all recommend anything and everything along the western coast? We are big vegetarian foodies, love coffee and have a 4 year old.
Cheers and we are so excited to be visiting in 4 weeks time.

dingli cliffs, blue grotto, ghar ir rih
Have you tried the vegetarian food at Bruvv? they can make a hobz biz zejt & lots of other things with no meat or fish, located in Balzan not far from Corinithia 🙂
The two big attraction are already popping up on your map 🙂
Digli cliffs and Hagar Qim/Mnajdra.
When you’re at the latter, definitely visit the blue grotto. On the other hand, after dingli cliffs go to buskett (try to do this midweek as it gets busy at the weekend, as do the cliffs tbh). While you’re in buskett, go on a hunt for the ghar il-Kbir, and the nearby cartruts (look up clapham junction)
If you’re up for a hike, go to Mighra l-ferha and the blata tal-melh.
Maybe a wine tour, (ta betta wine estates is the best they say), and a hike up to laferla cross.
if youre hiking about, go to bingemma, for the victoria lines and the bingemma necropolis which is quite nice.
Do yourself a favour and have the plant based tasting menu at Bahia, situated at the Corinthia. Bit pricey but worth it
zoom in, find cliffs, drive there and walk there. the west is the only bearable side of Malta. Be mindful of hunting tho, its a bit like a warzone and they will not care if you’re walking closeby – they will shoot their guns.
Couple of other recommendations that I haven’t seen mentioned (and are slightly more out of the way to get to, especially without a car) are: Ras id-Dawwara, Ras ir-Raħeb, and Fomm ir-Riħ.
CARMENS 🤤
Dingly cliffs best place to deal with vegetarians, with any luck it might not be to late to save the kid, sorry couldn’t help myself I will be visiting Greece for the 3rd and a half time any good hiking spots in the west I’m lactose intolerant and have a cat.
If you’re looking for a nice hike next to ĦaÄ¡ar Qim area DM for path
Locations worth visiting (in no particular order):
– ĦaÄ¡ar Qim temples
– Dingli cliffs (perfect sunset walk & dinner at Barbajean or Diar il-Bniet)
– Popeye Village
– Wied iż-Å»urrieq
– Riviera beach + [Qarraba Bay](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qfNqsFGPBpGynt428)
– Għar Lapsi
The highlighted part is probably the most rural part of our island so it’s mostly countryside with smaller villages isolated from each other, meaning you’ll be able to combine the above in 2-3 days most.
Mdina, mkay.
Leave!
When I was in Malta I really liked the blue grotto so I do reccomend
Dingli Cliffs (around the sunset time) and The Limestone Heritage (in the morning) are a must visit
Go to Gozo. I feel like there is nothing interesting in this part of Malta, I wouldn’t waste time thereÂ
Is salib tal gholja (laferla cross)
And spend a morning walking the surrounding… Girgenti, etc…
if you enjoy wine, book a tour with Ta Betta Wineries… Well worth the money and beautiful Maltese scenery
Limestone heritage is also close by, it s a one of a kind attraction imo.
From siggiewi drive to lapsi, or drive further noth to bahrija and enjoy a typical maltese fenkata (rabbit dinner or lunch!/
One place not yet mentioned is Il-Maqluba, in Qrendi. Its an ancient sink hole and maybe a kilometre and a half from the Blue Grotto. There’s an old beautiful chapel beside … its INSIDE the larger chapel of St Matthew.
Then Coogies in Mdina do a good veggie selection of food.
Dingli is a good place to drive off
