Fly to Malta with Emirates! There are no direct flights, so you have to transfer at least once! On the way from Dubai to Malta, we waited for passengers getting off and boarding at Larnaca Airport, so we landed and waited on the plane for about 1 hour and 30 minutes💦 Malta Airport is small, so it's easy to find. If you want to buy a bus card, it's probably easier to buy it at the airport. This time we stayed at the Preluna Hotel in Sliema! The location was quite good and the reception was very friendly, but the refrigerator in the room was not cold enough, so the prosciutto and yogurt I bought went bad, the cleaners didn't clean depending on the person, the spoon I used the day before was still in the cup, and the amenities said that there was a bathrobe, but there wasn't one, so it was a problem😭 The location is good! Mdina, Valletta, and Citadel are buildings that don't exist in Japan and were quite attractive✨ St. Peter's Pool and Blue Grotto were so beautiful and transparent that I felt like I was being sucked in, and I wanted to jump in. The ferry to Gozo was quite large and wide. You can buy a round trip ticket for the Gozo ferry on your way back or book online. I really liked the Salt Pans on Gozo! I'm looking forward to getting some Gozo salt and using it in my cooking♪ I heard that rabbit dishes are famous, but I don't eat rabbit because I'm reluctant to eat it. There are about three types of pastizzi, and the chicken, cheese, and vegetables were delicious. The Malta supermarket has a lot of cheese, prosciutto, and wine, so I was quite confused😂 The cashiers are generally unfriendly lol. You have to bag the items yourself and there isn't much space, so be careful because if you don't hurry, the next person's bags will keep coming! The vegan gelato was made like rose petals, and you could have as many flavors as you wanted, and it was refreshing and delicious. Overall, most of the staff were expressionless. It didn't seem friendly. I walked along the sea side of Sliema towards Independence Park, where I could relax while looking at the sea, and it was my favorite place. There were almost no Asians, and most of the people were European. #EuropeTravel #RepublicofMalta #CatSearchTrip

Do you know the country called Malta? It is an island country located under the Italian peninsula. It is a resort where English is the official language. I visited a natural diving spot called St. Peter's Pool located here. The water is not cold and is clean, so it is a good place to spend half a day with other travelers and have fun in the water!

#hiddengems St. Peter's Pool is a natural swimming pool located on the southern coast of Malta, near the village of Marsaxlokk. Carved into the rugged limestone coastline by centuries of erosion, this hidden gem offers visitors a secluded and picturesque swimming experience amidst stunning Mediterranean scenery. Accessible via a short hike from the nearby village, St. Peter's Pool beckons travelers with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and smooth limestone cliffs. Surrounded by jagged rocks and rugged terrain, the pool provides a natural oasis of tranquility, away from the crowds of more popular beaches. The calm, shallow waters make St. Peter's Pool ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing, attracting locals and tourists alike seeking refuge from the summer heat. Adventurous visitors can also cliff jump from the surrounding rocks into the refreshing waters below, adding an adrenaline rush to their aquatic adventure.
