Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a full day on the island of Comino for the famous Blue Lagoon and a sunset cruise around the harbour. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine the Dingli Cliffs and Victoria Lines hikes into a half‑day and skip the scuba diving, replacing it with a relaxed beach afternoon, which will also reduce overall costs.
