ONE DAY IN MALTA | Tourist Heaven Or Hell?
This is just one side of Malta, which is an incredible country with a lot packed into a small area. I made five more videos during my time there. Here's one that shows much more of this fascinating island nation, as well as the prices of things: th-cam.com/video/mkflvnSOOIY/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful bit too many people, nothing else’s to see if importance I will skip Malta, even though I am 1% Maltese 😂
Hey bro! You are using Gopro Hero 8 right?
@@aamirzeb3180 I think this was filmed with the 7, but if you check the description it's listed there.
I m from nepal.

If no one has ever thanked you for being so polite on your journeys... thank you. You make the rest of Americans look better by treading lightly.
He is also Canadian born ;)
But yes, I do agree with you too.
Being born in Canada definitely helps...it’s not easy making Americans look good! Haha
His Canadian upbringing helped him! Duh!
DJH 🙄
@@AntigoneIvy Always thought he was Canadian! He doesn't sound or act American at all.
The best investment that you can do it in your life is to travel, anywhere that you go you're flipping another page in your amazing life, if you love to travel go and don't stop, it's beautiful to know other cultures to me it's a excellent therapy.
Celida Zuniga that’s exactly what life should be about! Making memories! Nothing material can compare in the end.
Yes, traveling while you can,I'm working in dubai travel agency,come here
Facts. I’m planning to travel Europe for awhile visiting 8 countries including Malta. Travel is essential
Celida...great comment
👏👏👏👏👏
Don't know if someone pointed this out already, but the tower located on the island of Comino was used in the movie The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) as the Chateau d'If. Many scenes from that movie were filmed in Malta. I'm Maltese, thanks for visiting our islands!
Hello..I’m Nigerian and I’m currently planning to come to Malta for post graduate studies..any advice ?
I've been in Malta three times and every time I admire its magnificent limestone cliffs and ancient cities like Valletta. Every time I stayed in cheap hostels in St.Julians. The price for the night was around 18 euro per night as far as I remember. And I bought all the food from nearest supermarket and prepared it in hostel's kitchen. Also the nearby island of Gozo used to be my #1 to visit when the famous ''Azure window'' was in tact.
I'm from Malta, and I can tell you with all honesty that we have some awesome places to visit ,we are generally very friendly and kind but beware not all are the same character, arrogance is increasing with some people, traffic can be literally HELL with some disobeying traffic rules completely, concrete tower monsters with cranes all over are a common site ,we have restaurants to be proud of but choose wisely before deciding to dine. Do not miss GOZO our sister island which is less hectic but in summer can be a hellish place due to people visiting it. Comino is awesome but again expect overcrowding in the summer months. Hope you enjoy if you decide to visit the island.
Dont forget that most People in Turist Jobs earn the minimum wage of 5€/ hour and they have to share a flat with many People.
is it still very crowded with tourists in september? thanks in advance
Bro I'm sorry to say but generally almost all Maltese people will be a pain to talk to, well at-least in my area on the south. They always disrespect or try to pick a fight they can't finish.
I love malta..i from india..i want a job in malta country plz anybody help me .indian chef any resturant or hotel..how can get a job
Dear Gabriel, for the reader's information that old building which is a small fort is called 'It-Torri ta' Santa Marija' in Maltese or also known as the Comino Tower , which is a large bastioned watchtower on the island of Comino in Malta. It was built by the Knights of St.John in 1618, the fifth of six Wignacourt towers spreaded around the Islands of Malta and Gozo. More recently it was also in the film the 'Count of Monte Cristo' in 2002 as the ' Chateau d'If' . The film was directed by Kevin Reynolds and starred Richard Harris, James Caviezel, Dagmara Dominczyk, Guy Pearce and Luis Guzman.....
Malta is a historical site with amazingly preserved towns and villages. It is however NOT a beach or party destination. Every traveler needs to do a bit of research before coming to a place. Also, like everywhere at the med, July and August are too busy to properly enjoy Malta. Nothing beats the sweet and mellow climate and atmosphere you have in May, October and November. These are the best months to visit Malta.
Most people would disagree about it not being a party destination. In fact, that's the biggest complaint I hear from visitors to the island, is that there is TOO MUCH partying. I agree though that it's certainly not a beach destination. I visited in late October and it was still very crowded. The island is a history lover's paradise, I will agree, but it's so expensive and there are people and buildings EVERYWHERE! There's almost no empty space on the island, to just get away from it all and be out in nature. I imagined Malta very differently. I expected it to have this exotic, untouched vibe, and it did to a certain extent, but it also had the vibe of a stereotypical vacation destination.
16:40 most of the water we take here is not from sea water but water that is underground that have collected from the rain over millions of years that's how they had water in old times
That makes sense, thanks. They're called aquifers in English.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos yeh that's the word could not remember the word
The island nation of Malta is a surreal beauty to explore in the Mediterranean Sea! Your trip is fun and inspiring to watch. The beer seems delicious too!
What an extremely pleasant sunny Sunday cruise! Not too many people for there's lots of open pretty space, but it is the European Summer holiday season where people take off work for a few weeks paid vacation as the same happens in Winter as well. They're so blessed over there!
I went over the Christmas period. It was never busy as that and still around a nice warm 15-20 Celsius.
Yes, I was there mid December last year. Hardly any tourists....we even had 19 degrees C one of the days. I love Malta....going back next month after the school holidays finish.

Beautiful Island, south of Italy in the Mediterranean. Enjoy the really friendly people & the help they give you. Beautiful weather. Value for money. Enjoy nightlife & the beautiful sightseeing on land and at sea. Good service. Genuine food. Traveling from one place to another with public transport and taxis. Enjoy Enjoy.
Gabriel, I know that the fictional seaside village of Popeye (1980 starring Robin Williams) was filmed in Malta and it is still there. Btw, I've researched, years ago, that the Maltese vocabulary is comprised of about 50 Italian/Sicilian and has an Arabic syntax. When I heard the Maltese language it sounded Arabic with a twist of Italian.
becouse it was controlled by arab in past
Maltese language comes from Arabic, Italian, French and English
@@nicoletteagius2109 yep it does
I often hear that Maltese is unrelated to any other language, but they have a lot of words that are derived from Maghrebi Arabic. People from North Africa can understand about 50% of Maltese when they hear it spoken.
Just WOW, Thank you Gabe. How can anyone give your videos a thumbs down.Gorgeous! I like how you tell the prices,show your food,warnings of certain things.I love my front row seat to the world !!!
Malta itself is a beautiful island with so much to explore, but blue lagoon is too much. Hundreds of tourists packed into one little patch of sand and cliff, no thank you.
Some people are better off staying away 😉
When you arrive at Komino just walk past the Blue Lagoon, 200 meters to the right and you reach Chrystal Lagoon. There are no people there and its insanely beautiful
I’d much rather just stay in Gozo
@@MzeeTravels Buildings or on Comino will probably never happen due to environmental regulations and rules, and i'm pretty sure the local people are in favor for preserving Comino as it is despite being a tourist hotspot. Best thing that can happen is probably to plant some trees on there but as you can see, the land isn't exactly fertile there.
@@MzeeTravels yes do build more facilities pls, why not ruin comino as well?
There weren't near as many tourists when I visited Malta in 1995.
There were very few people at the Blue Lagoon back then. If you swam to the ocean side of the Blue Lagoon, there was a tube, approx. 10m long and 1m diameter that you could swim down when the water was still.
Malta was also dirtier, noisier, and more polluted, and in Valletta, there were cats everywhere.
12:50
Cisk Lager, award-winning, iconic Maltese beer and flagship brand of the Farsons Brewery is celebrating its 90th birthday this year with a number of planned public events around Malta and Gozo and limited-edition packaging marking this milestone.
Cisk was launched in 1929 after Scicluna's Bank took over the operations of one of its clients who was granted a temporary exclusive licence to manufacture Pilsner and Munchener type beers. The company became known as The Malta Export Brewery.
The story of Cisk however, started much earlier than that, when Malta's first privately-owned bank was established by Giuseppe Scicluna in 1840.
this video caught my eye because I traveled to Malta in the early 2000's (in January) and absolutely LOVED it. It wasn't crowded... I do hate crowds so I think I won't want to visit during the summer. When we went to Gozo and Comino we took a ferry and saw ancient temples and old catacombs. Such a fascinating place. Your video inspires me to go take a hike and then jump into the water, that must have been amazing too. On the main island of Malta, there used to be these colorful painted buses that would take you all around the island, so easy and fun. I hear they shut those down. I wonder how it is now. I'll be back some day!
Hello dear
Hi
I have been to Comino during pandemic and its amazing and not crowded at all.
To answer the water question, Malta has many days of rain during Autumn and Winter so in the past it would have been collected, but freshwater was also pumped from below ground.
I travelled to Malta in1993, stayed for about 3 weeks during July. I remember visiting the blue lagoon on Camino but don't remember it being busy at all. Maybe its my faded memory or maybe I was immune to the crowds in my 20's :) I do remember it being almost unbearably hot though at times, 32C at night with no air conditioning!
I love Malta 🇲🇹 been going since I was a child . Can’t wait to get back there
glad you like it I live there b'kara
"So awesome, other than all the people." That's describes life pretty accurately...
We started going to Malta in 2005, and got married there is 2010, we last went in 2012 before taking a break. We returned back in 2018 for our anniversary and it's a completely different place. The Blue Lagoon was a nice quiet place, with a few boats. in 2018 by 9am is was packed with 6-7 boats an hour arriving. There was a queue of people maybe 50-60- people who were climbing down the steps into the water, taking a bunch of selfies and then getting out. I still love it there and I love diving there but it's become VERY touristy.
Yeee but u one of them
We went to Gozo yrs back for a forghtnight staying at Xlendi in a fabulous apartment overlooking Xlendi Bay. My girlfriend talked me into swimming through the tunnel, I'm terrified of deep water, Jaws and all that lol Beautiful people and great food perfect weather. We chartered a boat and we circumnavigated Gozo and Comino island, a massive achievement for someone afraid of open water in a little boat 12 foot long with an outbound.. Jaws lurking to get me! probably. Superb vlog loved it Thankyou X
Gabriel at it again. I enjoy your videos and hope you are staying safe, brother.
You are a damn daring lone explorer, be on land or water. You enjoy traveling to places where one would hesitate to go. I adore that. Hats off. Plus you manage to return back in time. I enjoy watching your videos 👏👏👌👍♥️
Thank you for your good review of our Island mainly Gozo and Comino. It was much more beautiful before but now its being turned into a concrete jungle
heq itlaq filkas ux.
I’ve been there and it’s absolutely beautiful if you want to avoid all the tourists just go in October or November 🤗
❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
Best time to visit Malta is October, which is still relatively warm. By then most of the tourists have left with the exception of the over 65s who chose to spend the British winter months in sunnier climes. We hired a car and seen everything we set out to see and do in the 10 days we were there. Loved Malta ♥️♥️ My favourite place was the small and picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk where we watched the fisherman bring in their catch on their small Luzzu's ( boats) Hope to return very soon.
Hello annie
Wow Malta looks amazing
Gabe your living your life my man
Be safe
I have been to Malta four times. The blue lagoon is not crowded after four o clock. You can get a small private boat to take you there There are three fantastic beaches and cove's to the north east of Malta island.
Check out Medina the silent city in the center of Malta. Popeye village is worth a visit. There is so much to see here.
Don's travels and rants DON How much was the private boat?
Hello Cassie. I think it was either ten or twelve euro each and there was four of us. We got it from one of the bays not far from the ferry to Gozo. There is also a speed boat at Golden Bay that will take you there.
Don's travels and rants DON Thanks alot!
I used to be mad when tourists would storm Zadar, CROATIA. But now during covid-19 I welcome everyone to my town over the summer, fill the streets and let us have a normal year like it use to be.!
Hrvatska is many levels over Malta!
Gabe you know you've made it when you have people arguing who comments first on your video😂keep up the beautiful videos man you're an inspiration to all of us! Much love from Houston, Texas🤘🏻
Wish you could get some drone footage of a place like that Castle in the middle of this video. That would be even more Epic!
Good old Gozo,where i grew up,more then 50 years ago.Love all your videos.
Nice video. Just some more info, Clash of the Titans (1981) and The Odyssey (1997) also used the Azure Window. Thank you in Italian is Grazie pronounced grazje in Maltese Grazzi , a minor difference. Also that cool little fort in Comino was used in the (2002) the Count of Monte Cristo. The best way to enjoy Comino in peak season is to book a boat trip to Comino assuring that they stay there allowing you to use the boat as a base of sorts. Thus avoiding the sardine packing. Again nice video, balanced view and very factual.
Beautiful video, so lovely to walk with you around this island. Can't believe how blue the sea is there. Have subscribed so look forward to seeing what you do next.

mister Gabriel is re-inventing freedom! this channel deserves more views, more subscribers ( gonna happen very soon if you keep going)
i loved this video and i liked how Gabriel showed us France real quick with a day trip
Malta is amazing. Just come back from two weeks there. Main Malta is busy and lots of building works going on. Lots of agricultural produce with tomatoes, greens and strawberries. Malta is very green in February with the weather being a nice 20 to 25 degrees and in high season is turns brown and dusty.
Gozo now is what main Malta was 20 years ago with very quiet roads and amazing buildings and views.
We would not recommend getting a hire car in main seasons as Malta has a big car problem and parking is allowed in a white box but it's hard to find one.
Hire car, goto to the Gozo ferry and travel around Gozo by car as much quieter and no white box restrictions.
Good is expensive on Malta generally due to most things being imported but the local Pasizzis are only around 80 cents and come in two flavours of cheese or pea.
Would recommend the green or red bus tours as they are very good to see alot if Malta can give you and off season they tend to discount these tours due to less people.
Also we get the €22 Tallinga bus ticket which allows you unlimited bus travel for seven days (day and night) and this card also works on the Gozo buses 👍
Highly recommend Valletta, Madina and Gozo.
There are lots of coastal walks around, off the beaten track if you like walking Malta can accommodate you.
All in all, Malta is a beautiful island and a ton of history. Loved it.
My wife is Maltese and I have been there twice since weve been married. I can't wait to go back.
Mind blowing experience through your eyes.
Keep traveling with love.
The Golden Bay Area is actually very nice and less packed. When I went, there were few people in the beaches (as there are a few you have to walk to). Water was amazing and there were views for days. Also, there’s a sunset horse-back riding company nearby that has a tour for 2.5 hours for only 30 Euro’s. A steal!
Malta is beautiful, and that sea-tunel is amazing...
Every time you complain about all the people remember you are one of all the people
He thinks he's a vip or something
You’re right in Scotland we say we are the people
Wrong people!
Who are critical of his choice!
Some prefer the path well traveled!
Some prefer the path less traveled!
Its a our Right of choice!
Don't interject on another human beings personal choice!
Its not your call!
As is it isn't theirs to interject on yours!
Peace.
Exactly dude
@einniB retxeD have you got a crispy centre with a dark outer layer asking for a friend...?
Wolters World said Malta could feel catastrophic for some people. Looks incredibly beautiful, with so much mind-blowing architecture and history. I'd love to visit either way. I really admire and envy your adventurousness and ability to move effortlessly from place to place. Happy continued travels!
Everywhere in the med is touristy in the summer season! Just the way it is. Either go out of season or find quiet places 'far from the madding crowd.' C'est la vie!
True. Almost everywhere in the northern hemisphere is touristy this time of year (with some exceptions).
@@GabrielTravelerVideos have fun though, it's great sometimes experiencing the fierce heat, the vibrant energy of crowds having fun. It's pretty amazing. Often the mountainous areas in Europe can be quiet places. You were in Mallorca recently I think I saw. I think you hiked there. Peaceful in some places. Anyway, I hope you find peaceful shade under the outstretched arms of a tree while a breeze cools the air. Have a great summer friend!
Cool man, sounds good. Yeah I found some quiet spots in the mountains of Andorra, you can always get away from the crowds in nature.
Egypt's Matrouh is very similar; in weather, nature, sea, atmosphere, etc. This shows how close the Mediterranean countries are! Love Malta.
7:32 Those are the Maltese cctv, Gozo is like a journey to time most of the people who live there follow and think traditionally
It never fails to make me laugh when I see a tourist in a real full on tourist place complaining about too many tourists... Like they aint one of them...
Andrew Blackadder 😂😂😂
Ha ha, absolutely true!!
Hahahahah
Really great camera work and high quality video. Keep up the good work!
Excellent, thanks.
Loved seeing Malta here, Gabriel! Especially Comino - beautiful!
Hello, can we get to know you. My name is Mohamed from Morocco. Can we get to know you? Wattsape +212651749348
Hey
The old building in the background is where they filmed the end scene of The Count of Monte Christo.............I went many years ago............Amazing place !!!
The last time I went to Malta was in 1999, It wasn't anywhere as bad as that then.. We stayed at The Jerma Palace Hotel at Marsascala, wonderful hotel, that doesn't exist any more, It was cheap to hire a Maruti Jeep for the 10 days we were there, and it was extremely cheap to take the jeep on the ferry from St. Pauls bay to Gozo.
Don't normally watch these types of travel blogs but fell on this one and actually enjoyed it. I am thinking of going to Malta so very interesting to me. What is it like to have the camera on your self and to be a lone traveler?
Thanks for the lovely scenes and positive review about Malta
Malta is one of the best place to get to ..but too much crowded ..
Gozo is quieter than Malta .
Have a good time .if u needed help ..just leave ur comment below ..thank u ..
Hi,
I'm living in Italy, please does Malta people understand English Language? i wanted to go working in Malta
@@johnsonsolomon8766 the official language in Malta is English...
I love your videos and commentary. You do a great job with your videos, you almost make me feel like I am there with you! :)
Thank you for visiting my country gabe amazing cant wait to visit i left malta 5 yeara ago now im living in iceland 🙂
Re drinking water, before they used to have wells which used to fill up with the rain.
On a general note Malta is made of sedimentary rock, which you sometimes see quite well in some shots of the cliffs. One of the layers is non porous (water doesn't go through it) which means fresh rain water rests there. Before, we used to have boreholes and suck up the water from them. However, due to illegal boreholes there isn't much water left in the water table.
Also there is a farmer who lives on Comino, he is the only person who lives there, and does manage to grow crops.
Thanks for the info.
I really love it when you dive into the water.
Look like to me he fell in the water, LOL
Great vid Gabriel! I've got a friend who lives in Malta. I think I need to go for a visit! Thanks for another great one! Also, I watched your Santa Barbara vid tonight too. I always forget how nice it is there. Worth the drive from here in the Sacramento Area!
The Maltese archipelago is more then these beautiful Mediterranean waters and more a story of a small sympathetic & courageous group of people struggling to survive & achieve self-determination in a very hot natural & geopolitical environment. In reference to the question made by the host regarding what the Maltese did for freash water (apart from wells) you may need to visit places like Ta’ Kandja caves in Siggiewi, Wignacourt Aqueduct built by the Knights of St John or the Roman Aqueducts in Gharb Gozo.
Also, Malta does have many waterways but unfortunately for transportation conveniences & a lack of understanding on how important they were for the islands ecological system the authorities at various times built infrastructures like roads negativity effecting their conectivity and flow. Triq il Wied Ta L-Msida & Marsaskala's Triq Wied il Ghajn are some obvious examples of how Malta's waterways have been effected.
If anyone wishes further comprehension on how the Maltese lived and used their water supplies visit some valleys (Wied) like Bidnija's Wied Għajn Mula (Mula Spring Valley), Wied Għajn Riħana (Riħana Spring Valley), Mosta's Wied il-Għasel (Honey Valley) or the Wetland at l-Għadira or Qawra bay salini.
Time permitting please try to visit Vittoriosa (Birgu) for their festa between the 8th &10th of August, the craftsmanship and street decorations are exquisite & the fortified city is drenched with a rich character and history. Senglea (Isla) and Kalkara are also defiantly worth your time wondering around trying to perceive what life was like in a bygone era.
You packed a lot in on that tour.. I kept worrying if you'd get back to your transport on time!
Ciao... Gabriel... Grazie mille... For another magnific video from Malta... You have done a excellent job... God bless you... A lot of thanks to you... Saluti💢💎💎💎
Another magnific video from Malta ! Safe travels !
I love the Mediterranean! So beautiful
I have heard Malta is a beautiful country, nice video.
I totally LOVED my time in Malta for the sheer history, ruins, catacombs, cathedrals and local food!
Luckily the tourist hordes stay in certain areas of Malta for the most part. I still recommend staying in the St. Julians area tho just for the fact that there are more budget friendly food options and that it's one of the best areas to get on and off the bus to Valletta or pretty much anywhere else without running the risk of the bus not stopping because it's already over capacity.
I highly recommend the St. Paul's Catacombs in Ir-Rabat, much more impressing than the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum which is rather underwhelming compared to many of the other sights in Malta and hunting for a ticket and then being their for your time slot takes up an entire day. I saw you walk past the St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, definitely worth visiting! For food I can't recommend Maxokk Bakery in In-Nadur on Gozo enough for the Gozo style Ftira, a traditional Maltese style pizza that starts at 5 Euros. I made a condensed video with lots of 'how to' and other practical info + of course filmed the whole thing. Btw. if you go down where all the people were lying under the umbrellas at the Blue Lagoon you can actually wade through the water and get to the rock formation on the other side. I'm 6'1" and just held my stuff over my head. On the other side there is even a stretch of sandy beach where you can chill and relax.
Thank you for this advice!!! I'll have to save this when I get out to Malta. When did you go to Malta?
@@WanderlustAweSyndrome I went in July 2017 and as much as I hate to be the guy who promotes his own videos underneath someone elses video I recommend you check out my Malta video where every place and topic I mentioned plus lots more I show and explain in detail. Always breaking down the costs and the how to get there stuff etc.
I traveled there last week and instantly remembered I've seen much of the stuff in this oldish video of yours.
It seems like summer months is the peak of tourist season. I wonder how Malta is during the other seasons??? I would like to go during peak and off season.
Hey I went off season and it was not like this. You can swim by the Mall and no one is even there. It has steps to go down in capital and is awesome.
what did you expect? It’s a small beautiful island with amazing beach! of course it’s gonna be full of many tourists from everywhere especially in summer.
Am there are many small beautiful islands with beaches which are not crowded but I get your point
Wow, that looks beautiful! Still haven't been there but definitely need to in the future... Maybe during the low season, though 😂
Wow...first 2 minutes. Never remember Malta like this. It was remote in the 1970's. Really amazing then. Glad I went then.
Hey Gab, thank you for the memories of Malta ,Gozo, best place on earth
what videocam are you using gabriel? the videos are clear as well as the audio. stunning view of malta!
This video should be titled One Day On Gozo. There's sooo much more to see and do on Malta itself.
Wow amazing i wish one day i will be in this country for my job I'm trying to coming there!
I am maltese and i live in malta and i just have that malta is amazing it might be a small island but its one of the best islands
Any refugee trouble in malta? Like illegal migrants
Hello ?
How are you ?
They are all hidden gems
Forget the tourist traps
I went to Malta for a week about ten years ago. We all have our own preferences but my wife and I found it very crowded, busy and with people all on top of each other on the beaches. Busy traffic and a lack of parking was also problematic. Each to their own and all that, but we prefer the Greek and Spanish islands.
Malta is amazing travel destinations. I have been about 20 years ago. Also back then you had old buses
My dream also, come here in dubai
Great job!!!! wonderful Ireally appreciate you did so amazing tour in such short time!!!
You are there in August so it's going to be packed. I've been in April and October and it's wonderful.
Do you have a hotel recommendation for Malta?
I’m going in October.
🙏🏻
@@holyfox94 We stay at the Hotel Seabank in Mellieha Bay or the Hotel Calypso in Marsalforn on Gozo. Both lovely hotels but these are in quiet areas. Next time we go I'd choose somewhere in St Pauls, St Julians or Bugibba I think for better connections to places and a bit more livelier. I'd recommend downloading the Taxify app which is Malta's version of Uber which was really reliable and useful.
So what if its packed?
I was in october and it s pretty much the same as in this video. I mean the blue lagoon at least.
Any country high season is my idea of hell second home
Is Mallorca and I go over September through to April and it’s peaceful and quiet and not so many rude tourists. Luckily I have casual work over there and my husband full time so we have a place in port d’Andratx although low season shops still open etc and it’s just a whole different vibe
You captured our island pretty well. Thanks and well done.
very beautiful i would say, i would love to wish here one day.
I just shared a Malta travel series on my channel showing with it looks like in the off-season. There are way fewer tourists and even with slightly cooler weather we had a fantastic time. I'd recommend it!
Hi Gabriel!
You should definitely spend a few days in Gozo. I think it's not so fair to allocate just a few hours to this beautiful island. I always prefer Gozo to the main island, the atmosphere it's more relax, less touristy, it's more like the countryside of Malta.
Besides Victoria, you should visit Xlendi and from there you can go for a nice trek to Sanap cliffs which are spectacular.
You can also find some nice, less crowded beaches, you should try San Blas beach which also involves a nice hike. You can also trek to Tal-Mixta Cave and from there, down to Ramla beach (which is the main beach in Gozo).
I've visited Malta 4 times, so I've done my homework :)
By the way, you should avoid that local Cisk beer, it's really bad
:D
Cheers from Romania
Thanks for the tips, I'll look into it.
thanks for making our country (MALTA) better :)
I love Malta, I've lived there for 5 years, miss it so much. 🤗
Many regards from Croatia 🇭🇷🖐️♥️
LB Stih Hi, I am dreaming to move there,what do you think I need to know. Will be very happy to receive an answer from you…
@@natal.9008 I'm an American and I lived in Croatia for 2 years, in Split and then Zagreb. What do you want to know?

You mean Malta? Go, don't think, no crime, easy people, easy living, beautiful climate. Not difficult to find a job. 👌👍♥️
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath I am Croatian from Split 😂
👍😉
Nice, i like Croatia also.
Wow, that looks beautiful!
Always I find new ways of EXPLORING, thank you
The water is such a beautiful blue...and then suddenly you're in it! How you swim with a camera in your hand is surprising. It's fortunate you could find places of solitude away from tourists. Hard to enjoy the beauty with too many people around. Fascinating history and no fresh water. I too wonder what they did 1000's of years ago. Ty
Using that girl in the pink bikini for your thumbnail....very cheeky Gabe! 😂😁

If you're ever back in Malta/Gozo, let me know mate! I'm Maltese/American and family runs boats from Malt/Gozo to the blue lagoon!
If that crowd was all Hippies with Dreads beating drums to "Heal The Earth" Gabe wouldn't be saying, "Oh My".
I've met them. While I do have reservations about some of the myths they reciprocate, listening and playing djembe drums by a bonfare is an amazing experience, you should try it.
@@whatsupbudbud I can confirm as a non hippie nor do I have dreads, playing djembe at gatherings in san diego is one of the best things my home has to offer in terms of my personal preference
Good for you. You are having fun. This is what is life about
This seems to be a nice place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job!
If u do, do jot drive
The Blue Lagoon during peak season is a night mare. So many people packed onto a strip of sand. Deck chairs 20.00 euro and no shade anywhere. I could not wait to get the boat back.
