In less than a week, it’ll be time to wave goodbye to our gorgeous Maltese summer.
We’ll return to our winter routine with a heavy heart, as school starts and the weather gets colder.
Here are 10 things we’ll sorely miss about summer in Malta.
1. Zabbar’s Colourful Umbrella Street
Summer brings with it one of Malta’s popular Instagram hotspots.
Installed for the second year in a row, the colourful umbrellas made Zabbar one of the most frequented areas for tourists and Maltese people alike.
Let’s just hope they will return for a third year!
2. Comino’s Crystal Clear Waters
Oh, how we’ll miss swimming in Comino’s crystal clear, Blue Lagoon waters.
3. The Decorated Streets During the Village Festa
The gorgeous decorations that you find hanging on every corner of the streets.
The church looking all majestic lit up.
The atmosphere and the marching band playing those melodic festa tunes.
4. The Glorious Fireworks
They light up our Maltese skies throughout the whole summer, and manage to impress us with new firework tricks year after year!
5. Munching on Pastizzi by the Sea
Whether it’s mouth-watering pastizzi, or a crunchy ftira biz-zejt, all we know is that eating these by the sea really hits the spot!
6. Grabbing a Towel and Chilling on the Sand
Because nothing screams more summer than taking in that fresh sea air and smell of sand.
And it’s a scent we’re constantly yearning for throughout winter.
7. Seeing the Colourful Maltese Luzzu Basking in all its Summer Glory
A traditional Maltese sight that just looks even more dazzling in the light of a Maltese summer’s day.
8. The Gorgeous Sunsets
Whether you’re watching the sun set from the highest point of Dingli Cliffs, or from a bench in the middle of Marsaxlokk, we can all agree … nothing beats watching the sunset while a warm summer breeze passes through.
9. Exploring Malta’s Caves
We’ll definitely miss snorkeling around one of Malta’s many natural wonders.
10. The Delicious Cone Ice-Creams
Because who doesn’t love cooling off in the Maltese summer heat with a delicious ice-cream cone?
