The tour begins with a visit to Palazzo Parisio, set in the heart of the picturesque village of Naxxar. Admire the lavish interiors and ornate details that reflect the refined lifestyle of Malta’s historic nobility and gain insight into the island’s aristocratic past. The palace’s rooms and gardens offer photogenic corners and rich decorative artistry.

Next, explore Clapham Junction, an intriguing area marked by puzzling grooves etched into the rock. These mysterious channels seem like ancient roadways and are set on higher, rockier surfaces, offering a glimpse into enigmatic aspects of Malta’s landscape.

Continue to the verdant Buskett Gardens in the valley of Wied il-Luq, Siggiewi. The gardens are especially attractive in spring and provide welcome shade during the warmer months, making them an ideal spot for a relaxed walk. Nearby Verdala Palace adds historical interest at the garden’s edge.

The final highlight is Dingli Cliffs, less than a kilometre southwest of Dingli village. Rising to around 220 metres, these cliffs are the highest point in Malta and offer expansive sea views and a solitary chapel that makes a charming landmark. Throughout the excursion you will appreciate the character of the Maltese countryside, coastal panoramas and opportunities for memorable photographs.
