Fun fact about the upper Barrakka Gardens, those arches used to be roofed, however after an uprising by Maltese priests against Grandmaster Francisco Ximénez de Tejada in 1775, he removed the roof since the rebels used to meet within the arches for their plots :D (by the way, the island you were referring to as Gozo is in fact, Comino. Gozo is a little bit further north and is the second largest island in the archipelago)
Great Video! Malta is really beautiful. We go there for our autumn vacation since 12 years. About the aquarium: Yes, it is small compared to installations in the US (and elsewhere). But most of the species presented are local, placed in surroundings that you could actually find around the islands when you go scuba diving, and that's where the sea life is the most beautiful. Next time you come back, maybe safe that money and spend it on the fee to visit St. John's Co-Cathedral. It might take your breath away. Thank you for your video. Now I can't wait to got back there.
thank you! That is really nice that all animals there are local, and you are right on how we are blessed in the states with great aquariums. But yes, we will absolutely visit the St. Johns Co-Cathedral next time, we were told by many that we should have went inside haha
Thank you both for the camera work and the clear imagery. You would have loved the St John's Co Cathedral and possibly swapped its cost for the Acquarium dissappointment . Great to see your day trip on the catamaran. You could spend weeks on the three islands and not see everything.
Subscribed and thumps up. Great video, looooove it! So glad that you list everything (including price ). I also have a Mavic Air 2. Do you need to apply for a permit to operate in Malta? Did you encounter any issue (people ask you questions...) when you fly your drone?Per EU regulation; drone weight under 250g is ok to fly without a permit. Thanks
Malta is the country that I want to go, but don't have money to provide😌I wish I could go there soon❤️🙏 Thank you for the tour video ma'am and sir.☺️Godbless you both..
@@catandmarcos thank you for encouraging me 😊 Hoping that I will be there soon to have fun too ,but I wish also that there will be an employeer seeking for an employee so I can work there too🥰
I also went to swim in Blue Lagoon two weeks ago but was stung by a jellyfish that I didn't even notice, nothing serious, but then I saw another one (beautiful looking, around 10 cm in length) and hastily went out of water not to get back again.
@@catandmarcos There are official tables at Sliema stony beaches warning and informing swimmers of jellyfish, with pictures and instructions if they spot them or are stung by them.
I liked the aquarium but then I did the behind the scenes tour where you get to see the labs and the back of the tanks and it was really intresting see shark eggs etc and the conservation work they do
thank you so much Cat and Marcos it was such an incredible insight to malta as we are traveling as a couple in early september 2023 From Amir and Sabiha 🤗🤗
Hello, first thank you for this great video I absolutely loved it and it is very useful for ppl preparing their trip to Malta like me Would you like please to share with us the link to the booking of blue lagoon trip?
thank you so much! we're so happy you enjoyed the video :) Here is the link for the blue lagoon trip: www.viator.com/tours/Malta/Discover-the-best-beaches-and-bays-on-the-Sea-Breeze-a-catamaran-under-sail/d4141-86704P5
Greetings, I will be in Malta in May, thanks for the information in your videos. Are there catamarans or boats that leave Valletta for the blue lagoon?
That’s so amazing! You’re welcome 😊 I think there are no charters going out from Valletta, since there isn’t really a marina there. However some booking places have arrangements that can pick you up from your hotel/Airbnb in Valletta and bring you to the ferry terminal
Hey guys, great video! Can you tell me the car hire company you used please? I'll be going to malta in July and have already looked into car hire but the ones I found are quite expensive thanks 😊
Your video was fun to watch. We r going on June for a week. I heard there is a boat trip to Sicily. Is it worth it if you know. If possible, what do u recommend?
thank you so much! and yes there is, i believe it's like a 2 hour ferry ride. Sicily is so big and beautiful that we would recommend going there on its own. We spent an entire week there and had such an amazing time. However, if you are on a time crunch, then depending on where the ferry is going to in Sicily, we would say yes
Big mistake skipping St Johns Co cathedral in Valletta. Its GORGEOUS! they have paintings by Caravaggio! You'll have to go back . Bolt is like uber there- very affordable.
What month did you travel there? I see the sun sets early but yet there still is a swimming firendly weather, so I am curious. I am going there in a few days and want to know if ai should take my bathing suit😂
we were there in the early part of November. It did set early but I think with the time change, it now sets later. Not 100% sure though. But yes bring your bathing suit! The water there is some of the most clear we have ever seen, and you'll regret not bringing it :) Better safe than sorry
I am sorry but if you are making a video, at least make an effort to get the names of the places right (not pronounciation but literally mixing up the names of places!!!!) All it takes is a 2 minute Google search. And since this is a travel video, it is all the more important. Some points I really have to comment about as a local; 1) Malta is not a 2/3 day holiday. Yes we are small, but our main attractions are the historical sites which need at least a week to cover the main sites. 2) St. John's Co-Cathedral (not St. Paul's lol) is a must. It's like going to Rome and skipping out on the Vatican. €15 is totally worth it, and that €40 boat trip is a scam in comparison (you can get to equally beautiful beaches for free) 3) You failed to even mention the Megalithic Temples which are older than the pyramids!!!!! They are a must to visit at least 1 of them. 4) The aquarium and the boat trips are a scam and waste of time and money
Hey, thanks for watching! We did say the aquarium was a waste of money, also not everyone has the time/money to stay an entire week in Malta. The way we travel if you’ve seen our other videos is quick and efficient, and we’re not the biggest fans of historical sites, especially after visiting so many in our previous videos in Greece & Sicily. The boat trip was super convenient and we had such an amazing time. We booked the night before so you can to imagine how difficult it would be to find a comparable option. Also we didn’t even know about the Megalithic Temples, but it doesn’t look like something we would want to do.
haha we tried to fit as much as possible in the two days we had! we were also on a bit of a budget so had to choose between certain things :( trust me though, we will be back for a more comprehensive video when we can afford it :) We LOVED Malta!
No io non penso di andare a malta. Io odio il mare e il sole e la spiaggia. Ora sono a geneve in Svizzera alla UBS e ho in ballo...una cosa colla monte dei paschi di siena. Ma poi malta non era l'isola di san pietro? Se ci pensano bene a malta si penseranno che erano l'isola di san pietro. Ma san pietro non esiste piu'!!!!! E quindi cosa ci vado a fare a malta se san pietro non esiste piu'? Con tutte le isole esistenti non ci penso proprio a malta.
Wow, I did not expect the quality of the video to be this good especially the underwater and aerial shots + transitions. Subscribed 👏🏻👏🏻
thank you so much! Welcomeeeee
great video with honest review - thanks for the recommendations ...keep the adventure coming
Thanks for watching! :)
What a beautiful country! Definitely need to visit!! Always look forward to watching your videos
Thank you so much! Yes you need to visit there asap! 😊
I enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Malta looks beautiful, good choice on staying for that sunset! I love all the aerial shots you have in your videos
Thank you so much 😊 Malta I’d a must visit!

Malta is such a tiny country, but it has gorgeous and unique views. You guys are so adventurous and have a positive personality. ❤❤😊😊
Thank you so much 😊

Thank you for all the great tips! My partner and I will be visiting in august, definitely will use some of your recommendations :)
That’s so great to hear! You’re so very welcome :) you’re going to have the best time ever!

Well made video I enjoyed to before a coming Malta vacation 😊
Thank you!!
Great video
Thanks!
Top❤❤❤❤
Where'd you buy your shirts Marcos? 😮 That blue one at the beginning of the video and white one at the end are really cool!
I literally get all my outfits from Abercrombie lol, it's a bit pricey yes but they're amazing pieces!
Subscribed and thumps up. Great video, looooove it! So glad that you list everything (including price ). I also have a Mavic Air 2. Do you need to apply for a permit to operate in Malta?

Good
Amazying❤️
Thank you!!
It's TU-NEE-ZYA, Tunisia
Your videos are always great, with lots of information.
Thank you :) Glad you like them!
We are going to Malta in jus over a week, this has been very helpful, thanks.
Did you have any issues flying the drone there?
omg have fun! No, I never had any problems when flying the drone :)
Malta is the country that I want to go, but don't have money to provide😌I wish I could go there soon❤️🙏 Thank you for the tour video ma'am and sir.☺️Godbless you both..
You'll be there soon enough we know it. Then you can come back to this comment and let us know how much fun you had :)

oh wow, maybe the jellyfish are seasonal there, because when we went we did not see any

nope no problems at all :)
The drive on the correct side of the road.

Thanks for taking the time to show the hotel 👍
Our pleasure!

Hello, could you repeat where did you rent the car? ☺️
Hertz
What is the name of the company you took the boat tour with? I m going there next month and it would be helpful. Thankies!!
seatrips! we booked through Viator
Yeeesssss!! Finally!! A right-hand drive car, I am definitely going and hiring a car🕺🕺
What time of year is this? Thanks :)
It was November
Hey guys, great video! Can you tell me the car hire company you used please? I'll be going to malta in July and have already looked into car hire but the ones I found are quite expensive thanks 😊
We used Hertz because we found a good deal. But we also have never had problems with Discover rental cars, so they’re a great company also!
Your video was fun to watch. We r going on June for a week. I heard there is a boat trip to Sicily. Is it worth it if you know. If possible, what do u recommend?

@@catandmarcosdo you recommend going to Taormina & mount etna?
👍👍👍
What catamaran company did you use ?
Sea trips!
great video.. quality is high.
thank you so much! we really appreciate that :)
Hi. Where did you rent a car? It's so many company, I am searching for a cheap but reliable option.
we rented the car with Hertz. We usually don't rent with Hertz in Europe but we got a super good deal at a very affordable rate, so we went with that
Are you going to Malta this year ?
❤❤❤❤
Big mistake skipping St Johns Co cathedral in Valletta. Its GORGEOUS! they have paintings by Caravaggio!
You'll have to go back .
Bolt is like uber there- very affordable.
We will absolutely go back and check it out! And thank you for the tip with bolt, that’s a big help 😊
What month did you travel there? I see the sun sets early but yet there still is a swimming firendly weather, so I am curious. I am going there in a few days and want to know if ai should take my bathing suit😂

So you didn't get into an accident. It looks a bit difficult to drive as such.
me saying hi from malta haz zebbug❤❤
hey!! 😊
I think you meant St. John's Co-Cathedral not St. Paul's. Skipping it was a big mistake in my opinion.
i agree, we need to go back ahha everyone tells us :)
It would have been good to see more of the location and less of the presenters.
I am sorry but if you are making a video, at least make an effort to get the names of the places right (not pronounciation but literally mixing up the names of places!!!!) All it takes is a 2 minute Google search. And since this is a travel video, it is all the more important.

They’re driving on the RIGHT side of the road !!
Country is beautiful, but this couple have missed out many must do / see ...Too much of them instead of Malta
haha we tried to fit as much as possible in the two days we had! we were also on a bit of a budget so had to choose between certain things :( trust me though, we will be back for a more comprehensive video when we can afford it :) We LOVED Malta!

No your wrong that’s the right side to drive
Where should I exactly buy ticket for cruise to blue grotto? 🥹
we bought it right at the ticket counter, so we would suggest doing the same :)
