Food scene
This place is in walking distance and is one of the best restaurants in Mellieha. Problem is you have to book ahead most of the time. Let me know if you would like me to book for you. Say hello to Anton the owner, he sold me my place and is a really great guy. Can't recommend the food there highly enough. Super fresh, and delicious.

Malta's very first (and previous capital) city.
They sometimes even have medieval recreations and birds of prey demonstrations there. Keep an eye out for events going on there.

The famous Blue lagoon! Comino gets VERY VERY busy during the summer. You should try to go very early, so you can get a space but don't do what most tourists do and just stay there. Go out and explore. Usually you can find a swimming hole not far away that is practically empty, and let all the Instagram junkies take photos in the thick of a thousands of people.

Our sister island is quieter and a little greener than Malta. Easy to get to via the ferry, and you can take your car on the ferry too. Really great open country, and some superb seafood places.

Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
I personally would avoid WHITE taxis.
They are the big white mercedes you see driving around at light speed. They can be fairly pricey. A good tip is to take a car by "Drifter", which can get you to the airport from my place for about 23 euros (32 euros by normal taxi and way more by the big white cabs). Anyway ..buses are really cheap.
Qué empacar
Don't forget these items :
Beach towels
Converter plugs (We use the same as the UK)
Hats/ caps
Cómo moverse
Getting to the penthouse and back to the airport
The X1 bus from the airport takes you to Mellieha church (The bus stop near me is called "ADENAU"). The trip can take over an hour so be prepared.
You can get a BOLT (which is like UBER), or many places offer car services. Some people will try to rip you off (like the white taxis). There is any outfit called "Drifter" which is not bad and offer reasonable 23 Euro trips from my place to the airport.
