Your video brought back so many happy memories for me.The walk you both did is a lovely walk which i have done myself a few times during my stays in Malta.Bugibba and Qawra has changed over the last few years which you both did notice.But is still wonderful to stay and visit.Thanks for this video which was most enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing that it brought so many wonderful memories back for you! It has certainly been a nostalgic experience for us revisiting the area. Thank you for watching!
I remember Qawra in the 1950s. It was a depressing wasteland. When they started to build hotels and apartments over there - as well as at smelly Salina - I used to say: "Why would anyone want to live there?" The taxi driver drove me through Bugibba & Qawra a few weeks ago. I was amazed that the area is now all built up!
Lovely video It brought back such happy memories for me too The Sea still looks so inviting I would love to know which month this was filmed in as it looks just how I prefer it: not too hot and not overcrowded Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching! Yes, the sea, right on your doorstep, is the one things we absolutely loved during our time in Malta. To answer your question about when when we filmed this video, it was in mid-October so not as busy as July & August.
Yes, we loved walking around our old local area again on such a beautiful day and definitely miss having all that crystal clear water in such close proximity. Thanks for watching! 😊
Thanks for the question. We have always found it okay to swim up until mid-October, but after that, the water temp can sometimes get much cooler quite quickly. Anton would usually swim until mid-November and Bella until mid-October. It really depends on your cold water tolerance. Hope that helps a little.
Been here many times spanning 35 years,in fact next visit in 5 weeks time..never heard it been called "bud gi bar" though!....nice video nonetheless...
Thanks for commenting! 🙂 Yes we loved learning about Malta during our stay there. We had no idea until we got there how much history there was in such a small place.
I'm heading back for my 5th visit next week. I'm an Aussie who has lived in the UK for 20 years....I'm deciding on Malta or Montenegro for my next move which should be this time next year.
Hi. Great to hear you're revisiting for the 5th time as an Aussie based in the UK. We've just spent some more time in the Balkans and absolutely love the feel of the region. We visited Bucharest in May and have just finished a trip to Tirana. Haven't made it it Montenegro yet however it is on the list for next year. Would love to hear what you decide on for you next move though. Feel free to keep us updated! Thanks for watching. 😀
@@AntonandBella I’m heading to Bucharest in April to see friends who moved there and opened a restaurant. Plovdiv in Bulgaria is also on my hit list for next summer!
Thanks for the reply and for letting us know. It's fantastic to hear! It will be a great time of year to visit Bucharest too. Our first ever VLOG was sharing our experience visiting Bucharest. Here's a link to that video if you're interested. ruclips.net/video/a7acTNnOfPo/видео.html Please do keep in touch as we love hearing what fellow Aussie travellers adventures look like.
What time of the year did you go as weather looks nice. I’m coming in June. Been there before years ago but will be first time for my wife and 2 daughters.
Our visit for this video was done in mid-October. When we were living on the island we were still swimming up to the start of December and then would start up swimming again in April, so if you're planning a visit in June the weather should be very comfortable. We did find that August and September were the two hottest months for us, and also the busiest due to school holidays. Feel free to post any another questions might have and thanks for watching! 😊
@@AntonandBella thank you. It will be our first family holiday/honeymoon. First time in Malta for them think it’s 5th for me. So June would not be too warm. We are staying at San Antonio in Buggiba/qawra. You can get like the weekly bus cards from the airport can’t you and I can easily pay for them with my bank card? You still live in Malta?
Wonderful to hear that it will be your first family holiday/honeymoon! DB San Antonio is a lovely resort. We've eaten a few times at the Indian/Moroccan restaurant at the resort called Tajine. We think you'll really enjoy yourselves at the resort. The area heading towards Qawra has also changed a lot in recent years so lots to explore when you're not all relaxing! As for the public transport, the main Buġibba Bus Terminal is very close to the resort so we suggest you always leave from this terminal as the buses fill very fast and you may not get a seat if you catch it at a stop further along the route. There is also the ticket booth at the bus terminal where you can ask to purchase the Explorer Cards. You can also visit: www.publictransport.com.mt/en/bus-card-and-ticketing for more info on ticketing. Hope that info is useful! And to answer your last question, we no longer live on island as we're still very much exploring the world at a nice slow pace, and currently we're in Australia visiting family. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday!

Malta is such an amazing place. I spent my Summer holidays there a few years ago ❤
Yes Malta is an AMAZING place and it's so great to hear that you enjoyed your summer holidays when you were there too. Thank you for watching!
Malta was at its unspoilt best in the 1950s & early 60s!
Actually, Malta WAS an amazing place. It's NOW ruined!
Selena bay looks beautiful ❤
It really is a beautiful bay and one of our favourite swimming spots in the area. Thank you for watching!
Muito interessante Anton & Bella!! Como se deslocaram por aí? Transporte publico ou carro? Obrigada 😊
Obrigado por ver o nosso vídeo. Não tínhamos carro durante a nossa estadia, por isso apenas utilizámos o autocarro público para viajar pela ilha.
Love this area,we are back next july at Gilieru hotel❤
It's great to hear you love this area too! Thanks for watching. 😀
We owned a pad in Qawra,sold it in February
Can you please tell me whether you could swim at end of October /beginning of November still? :)
Thank you!

OMG I want to live there ❤
We thought you'd like this one! You should seriously consider visiting Malta next time you're in Europe. You would love it! 🙂
Stunning and it has an amazing history
Thanks for commenting! 🙂 Yes we loved learning about Malta during our stay there. We had no idea until we got there how much history there was in such a small place.
I think I will be adding Malta on to my future travel list now.
We think Malta is definitely worth adding to any European visit. Thanks for watching!
