Hundreds of Worldwide Holidays are available on our website www.mercuryholidays.co.uk 11 St Paul’s Bay, Bugibba, and Qawra Bugibba is a thriving resort with a wide selection of restaurants, bars and nightspots. The town of St Paul’s Bay is quieter than Bugibba and the old town retains a traditional Maltese charm. Qawra is slightly more laid back, with a narrow shingle beach and a selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Valletta A fortified city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Malta’s capital, Valletta offers a breathtaking skyline and architecture peppered with a wealth of historic and cultural attractions. Mellieha, Marfa, and the Northwest Coast Some of Malta’s best sandy beaches are located in the northwest, with Mellieha Bay probably the finest of them all. At the extreme northwest of Malta is Marfa Ridge, which overlooks Ramla and Paradise Bays. Gozo Malta’s smaller sister island enjoys a more pastoral character and the coastline is dotted with fishing villages. Sliema and St Julian’s Together these resorts make up Malta’s biggest and most varied entertainment centre. Sliema is a fashionable resort and offers a stunning promenade. St Julian’s lies north of Sliema and blends its fishing village charm with a bustling tourist centre. Must see highlights Grand Harbour, Valletta Malta’s Grand Harbour is one of the world’s deepest seaports. A harbour cruise is probably the best way to take in the beauty of Valletta’s skyline and the harbour’s rich history. Ramla Bay, Gozo With its ochre sand and deep blue sea, Ramla Bay is one of Malta’s most enticing spots. The sea life and water clarity make it perfect for snorkelling.
