Malta’s Blue Grotto & Marsaxlokk Village
Tour the fishing village of Marsaxlokk, witness and spend time in the Blue Grotto and swim the sparkling waters of Lapsi Bay.
Drink in Malta’s southwest coast, starting in Marsaxlokk, the island’s largest fishing village, where technicolor boats crowd the harbor. Wander at your own pace or opt for a boat ride to St. Peter’s Pool. Then it’s on to Żurrieq for the Blue Grotto—a dramatic sea cave plunging 50 meters beneath the cliffs. Soak in the stunning views from above, or elevate your experience by hopping on a boat (at your own expense) to explore the caves up close, weather permitting, before heading back to port.
